    Riding in to work today I heard the lamest commercial. :rolleyes:

    Some of you may have heard it before also, The "it's a diet coke with lime thing, its a diet coke with liiiiiiiiiime." I want to know what marketing genius is getting paid for this one. I can't get this song out of my head, and its killing me.

    If you have commercial that you think is corny but catchy please share, but I can't think of anything to top this one

    Hmmm, I can't think of any at the moment.


    On the other hand, I know of a commercial that's not corny but definitely catchy. I'm sure you've all seen it. "Oops, I crapped my pants." It's a good campaign for an even better product. I mean cmon', it holds twice the amount of crap than the next leading diaper.

    Not really corny, but the new Bud Light commerical with the airplane pilot jumping out to chase a 6 pack is absolutely gut busting IMO.

    Definitely catchy. Makes me want to drink even more Bud Light.

    listen to 97.9 every now and then and noticed that "a better bailbond" has the cheesiest commercials. they've changed lyrics to some of the better rap and r&b songs in the past. their most recent is "locked up... and won't let me out" song. terrible.

    the worst is that band that rips off They Might Be Giants that does like every jingle now. I know they do a Goldfish commerical, I think Texas Lottery, and several others.

    It's like poppy children's music.

    That's the second time this thread. I knew it definitely annoyed the crap out of other people.
