    All Burger King commercials are pretty stupid, especially the ones with the "soccer moms" trying to take out The King. Lame-o.

    Yea and definitely have to agree with the one on the kid giving his parents advice on mutual funds. That one little boy in particular is so damn insufferable - argh.

    Those make no sense to me at all. Is my mom the only mom that's never made me a freaking patty melt?

    Ha. Really? I've never even seen that commercial but I just looked up some screen shots. Similar looking guy I suppose.

    Maybe it's just me, but I thought IBM's buzzword bingo was absolutely hilarious. Especially after having just completed a course in marketing.

    Ahhhh. I'm glad we both vehemently hate this commercial.

    The kid is annoying as hell and it lasts foreverrrrrrr.

    We've got a winner. The commercial so bad that Head On actually makes fun of it in another commercial.

    I don't know if this belongs here, but I will share it anyways;

    I love the "need a better game" commercial on Sports Radio 610 with the people playing charades.. it starts out with:

    let's go man, you're the king of charades...

    one word
    1st word
    whale
    submarine
    ok, gas pump..

    gas pump is 2 words..
    so..
    so? we are guessing the 1st word, gas pump is the dumbest guess ever.. does he look like he is propelling gas into a combustion engine?

    hey, you guessed submarine.. does he look like he is cruising under water with a periscope?


    I found it really hilarious, but then again, I am kinda r****ded so you gotta doubt my judgement in what's funny and what's not..

    btw, I love the "need a better game" commercial on TV where the 2 dudes are playing chess or checkers or whatever and the guy tries to cheat, then he drops his glass and a whole chain reaction takes place.. pretty hilarious..

    HOWEVER, that other lottery commercial with the frisby is just r****ded and not funny..

    no?

    That Snickers commercial of that viking throwing that trash can...got real old the 2nd time I saw it. The fact that it's suppose to be humorous and fails (at least to me) makes it even more annoying.

    I think you mean beer and/or body spray commercials.

    I think that one is pretty hilarious, actually: especially the part at the end where he says liabilities are a nightmare, then kind of cringes. I don't know if I'm more impressed with what seem to be adult-like mannerisms, or him memorizing a script which he probably doesn't understand half of.

    I'm more annoyed by the customers. Try one of the other 10 burgers on the darn menu, loser.

    No, mine didn't either. She's an immigrant, so there's a pretty good chance that even after forty years in this country, she actually doesn't know what the fork a patty melt is. Hell, I can barely imagine it myself. Is it like an open-faced burger on a slice of bread, or something? I'll chalk this one up to overworked six-figure-salaried ad execs not doing a whole lotta cooking for their offspring.

    They say a man should always dress
    for the job he wants
    So why am I dressed up like a Pirate
    in this restaurant?
    It's all because some hacker
    stole my identity
    Now I'm in here every evening
    serving chowder and Iced Tea.

    Shoulda gone to
    Freeeeeee Creditreport dot com
    I could have seen this coming at me
    like an atom bomb
    they monitor your credit and
    send you email alerts
    So you don't end up selling fish
    to tourists in tee shirts.

    That's why it can't be considered that bad, IMO. Most of these commercials people thought were really good/non-annoying ideas.

    Any $19.99 product that shows a person using an established competitive product and they suddenly have a stroke, then miraculously recover to show the superiority of the 19.99 crap.


    And Billy Mays.
