Ron recently talked about how most commercials suck. What's a really bad commercial?

For me, the State Farm commercial where some douchebag finds a door in an alley......then we have to see him working on the door like he's Bob Vila.....he puts the door IN his apartment wherein his girl comes in and asks, "What's this?" To which he responds: "A promise- someday we'll get our own place." WHAT!?!?! How does polishing up a beaten-down door enable you to save up enough money for a house? If anything, it makes you look like Travis Bickle.

The dildo commercials on late at night kind of blow.

Never saw this one before, but I love it. I've never seen a waitress serving so much ketchup and mustard.

Just imagine how much more ketchup and mustard she can serve once she has her degree!

Kind of typically bad, but I have a special fontanel for its stupidity, especially given the target market and end user, because of what she says after "complete, balanced nutrition."

if he keeps wandering through alleys, maybe he can find enough doors and 2x4's and drywall to build their own house.

The ESD/Chris Tanley R&F replay commercial that featured the 8 Men Out music was like someone beating me to death with a cast iron skillet.

Really any of the replay commercials- I dont know what they're not doing, or what mic they're not using that other people are but they're all so tinny and hard to listen to.
The new Miracle Whip campaign is pretty bad. It would have you believe that Miracle Whip is the sandwich spread for the brash, young, noncomformist.
Miracle Whip: Punker than your fucking mayonaise!
Never Mind the Bollocks, it's the Miracle Whip.

Local commercials are the worst. The NJ diner commercials look bland and the food disgusting. There's a reason they use fake food in ads.
The worst - but kinda funny - was the "No credit? Low credit? No problem!" commercial for some car lot in Jersey. "If you don't find something you like we'll give you a hundred dollars caaaaaaaasssshhhhhh" and the guy holds up about a dozen 20's.

Not only are these Cavemen the worst gimmick in advertising history...
But 3 Doors Down has to be one of the most generic, awful rock bands of the last 15 years.

the free credit report dot com commercials with those three douche bags who sing the little jingle...by far the worst ad campaign on TV right now. And the new Palm Pre commercials are the scariest thing I've ever seen...that girl looks like she wants to castrate me.
By the way, I love how Fez sometimes prefaces his live reads with the phrase "what you wanna do is..."

And one of the most misleading. Their service isn't "free", because you have to sign up for their service to get your reports, which requires a monthly free.
In reality, the government will give you the reports for free - really, with no charge at all.
