F'ing hipsters. I as well tried to watch it again because it couldn't possibly be as bad as I remembered it...

I lasted 1 second. My head almost exploded with negative energy. I am a raging ball of hatred right now.

They changed "2 instant games" with something else this year, and I was disturbed that I noticed the change.

What is more disturbing is that I have lived in Chicago for the past three years, and I haven't seen the commercial during that period. However, I was singing the song in the shower this morning, which led me to post it in this thread. Soooo catchy. I can also hear the guy say, "Thanks, Jane!" or whatever it is when his friend gives him two tickets.

The annoying "Lexus December to Remember" with the music boxes and elevator chimes playing their jingle music make me want to KILL! If my wife went out and spent $50,000+ without talking with me first...

My office has the radio on and Giant Eagle has a commercial where a dad is on his roof waiting for a ride to GE from Santa and his son asks him what he's doing. It ends with the son saying, "I worry about you!"... it gets old after 3x an hour.

There is a commercial that involves a woman climbing to the top of a mesa or something in the desert. The song in that commercial annoys me.

Just thought of another one:

The Wal-mart commercial about price matching with the "ring-a-ding ring-ding-ding ring me up"...

Commericals where a bunch of people sing the wrong unfunny lyrics to songs are getting old. I'm looking at you Lexis Rocket Man ad. Actually more annoying than old.

On the flip, every time I always immediately think the Subway commercial where the adults talk like children is going to get under my skin, then I wait for the guy to say "I have a phone call. Todd!............this is Todd" And i laugh. Plus, the blonde in it, "Samantha" is :thumb: :thumb:

i just heard it again. i think i hate it/like it because i have no idea what she's singing. SOMEBODY LEFT THE GATE ON!

when i don't know the words to a song it usually gets stuck in my head real bad


there's this one song on the radio here that boggled my mind for years. it was a group of choir singers singing something obviously important over and over and over again clapping their hands all joyful. sounded like iffiny sumfamia call 911. iffiny sumfamia call 911. eventually i ended up loving the fact that i had no idea what they were saying and i'd crack up about how tragic it was.


turns out it was "if any sound familiar call 911" they had previously sung a list of symptoms so it makes sense.

Successfully made Ronald look less effeminate while keeping the burger looking equally disgusting. Bravo.

My friend pointed out that the Clarks Toyota commercial is one of the absolute worst commercials ever.
