    You're right. That does suck. Especially with such an awful rap.

    Brent, No love for the Capital One Peggy commercials? They're kinda amusing the first or second time around.

      Ok, those are pretty good. Even on repeat viewings. Kinda forgot about them, though.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Culture is on a 20-year cycle, which means anything that pokes fun at Russia is in vogue again.

          The portrayal is kinda different, though. Case in point: Peggy vs super rich guy.

            Thankfully they aren't showing it anymore, but my ears were bleeding whenever I saw that Kohl's commercial for Black Friday savings...

              The GEICO caveman has run its course. Please stop.

              Also, I generally hate jewelry commercials, but my least favorite one is where the kid is playing Santa and gives his mom a watch and she says "OH SANTA". She's that excited about a WATCH? OH GOD I hate that one. I can't even remember which company it is.

                  Really? What is wrong with the Best Buy commercials? They're not the best/funniest thing out there, but its not like they're annoying and the concept seems to work.

                          I've pretty much had it with the cologne/perfume commercials all being sold at Macy's. I'm at the point where I will never set foot in Macy's owned property again. The Tour de France stationary bike commercial also needs to go. If you require a helmet to ride a stationary bike, you're literally ********. Kay/Jared jewelry commercials have piqued my ire as well.

                              I agree with every spot that's been mentioned so far. They're all sucky. Isn't it nice we can balance off their stupidity and lack of creativity with the Acura spot and Gordon Ramsey?

                              "Is this your first day? Well, it's your last. Get out." And then the befuddled old bag at the table says: "Happy holidays." Perfect.

                                Agree, most of the ones mentioned do suck. Especially when you have some really amazing ones like these which Im sure you have all seen:





                                And this one from the UK which is quite stunning...even if we wont see it over here.
