i like it a bit too. but i've only seen it 1 1/2 times. i completely understand how seeing it two times in 10 minutes would change that.

It is just brutal...how terrible.

The only thing that makes the 1-877-Kars4Kids commercials not cause a homicide...is in my head, I always replace the last word...so it ends in "1-877 Cars for kids...donate your kids today"

Just saw it again, and now they changed it again. They're not nearly as whiny and they removed the subtitles. If you listen to the mom, she used to say "You're 4.2 mi away" but now she says 15 miles.

Ehh...I don't let most commercials get to me, but the crying/talking thing is just obnoxious. I think I hate the mother's face most of all.

Don’t know whether they’re running TV ads, but the Coit Carpet Cleaning radio ads are killing me. Save 30% for a limited time! Limited time only! Did we mention its only for a limited time!?! Well it is!!!! But they run these ads ALL THE TIME. Apparently, the “limited time” for this sale is the time remaining until the heat death of the freaking universe.

I share you sentiment. Really anything that has to deal with Safe Auto absolutely makes me want to end lives.

Zoey Deschanel's iPhone commercial.

I normally like her, but this commercial makes me want to punch her in the face.
