NCAA Commercials:
Annoying:
1. The Sonic commercial. That homely blonde woman annoys me to no end and they show that commercial almost every commercial break.
Okay:
1. I like the Sven, Swedish personal servant commercial but that one I have seen before.

I love most of the Sonic ads. Prefer the two guys to the blonde. Wish they'd bring the tot one back - [swat] "Go strong with the tot or don't go at all"
Swen is pretty cool - I want one too.
ANNOYING (because of frequency and/or content):
1. Apparently, there's a jailbreak every night that dalmatians know about. Haven't seen any coverage on the news though.
2. Those Coke Zero ads where they seek legal action against taste infringement should be ordered to cease and desist for insulting my intelligence.
3. And Appleby's....need I say more?
Wish it was like the Super Bowl where you could expect to see some new commercials.

Annoying:
2. The police car/Sling Box commercial was funny for maybe the first 3 times.
But . . . Not funny anymore.

2. Those Coke Zero ads where they seek legal action against taste infringement should be ordered to cease and desist for insulting my intelligence. Its even worse when I have to see these ads at the movie theaters. You would think that if they are gonna play commercials before films they would at least choose quality ones that stand out. I'm torn over the Verizon network commericals with the people breaking down all they are about to do over the next few hours with their silly little cell phones. I can't stand how cellphones have taken over our society. But I do admit to atching closely the one with the hot girl that comes out of the elevator and goes about taking off her glasses and letting her hair down. Nike Sparq training is always good. And of course..There Are No Cinderellas. |

1. What's that song playing during the Nike Sparq commercial?
2. I do like the new Sonic commercial with the guy hiding in the backseat.

"Your agility owes my agility 20 bucks!"
"My better tastes like French Toast!"
- Above average balls for a commercial.

For those of you who don't have Directv, you'd find it very irritating that Directv is selling you things that you already have OVER AND OVER
I'm sick of it

Have you no shame sir? |

As pointed out by my wife: Was the previous dalmatian commercial the dogs are all watching on TV broadcast in real time? Either that or that truck has just been cruising around and around ever since the ad was originally shot, waiting for this canine revolution. Woof. JS |

JS That is the commercial I'm speaking of. Although, it was better than no commercials during the live coverage of the first half of that game. They just showed the Lopez's twins mother throughout the breaks |

I don't even see the commercials but just mentally tune them out. Saves my memory inputs for better things, like basketball.

Whoever made that commercial with the car alarm -- I don't even know what it's for, Volkswagen, maybe? -- needs to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Can someone explain to me the Degree ad where the guy is late for his meeting but then takes the personal rocket ship thing to get there on time. Why is his boss liquid, and why does the boss focus in on whether the guy has sweaty armpits or not? Am I missing something here?

The Will Ferrell Old Spice ad that's been running during the online CBS streams - the one where he's combing his armpit hair - is hilarious.
Also, E-trade baby rules.

Or the car ad for Pontiac where they take a G8 through a series of ramps, loops, jumps, and even a two-wheel stunt a la Dukes of Hazzard. Two questions: 1) Do you really have to show in small print "Fictionalization", and 2) why is the word "BEN" spray painted on the bottom of the car? Total non-sequitor.
Pontiac, isn't it bad enough that you released the Aztec for sale in the US? Why do you punish us so?
