    I hate the Ballpark hot dog commercial where the kid is sleeping and a man hand comes out of his stomach, hits him with a tennis racket, and shoves a hot dog in his mouth that just happens to be on his night stand.

    Arby's commercials are pretty stupid, especially the one where the guy is with his girlfriend and she goes into a lake and is waiting on him, but the tool gets in his jeep to drive to Arby's. So stupid...

    Almost makes me not want to eat there ever again, but I can't bring myself to do that.:D

    Also all Geico commercials EXCEPT for the one with Peter Frampton and his talkbox. That commercial is brilliant!! But the rest of their commercials suck, especially the ones with that stupid gecko talking in his British accent (or is that Australian?). Reminds me of that dingbat Madonna every time I hear him talk. Ugh.

    You must be joking... some of the best commercials I can think of were beer commercials. Given, there are some crappy ones, but there are some really great ones.

    No idea who the commercial was for, but I just heard from the other room "we couldn't say it on tv if it wasn't true." That's awesome.

    A commercial made by a San Franciso based advertising agency in the US for an Australian bank.

    They had a US$45 million budget to create a new image for the bank. I don't how much of that amount went into this POS commercial.

    It's so bad Michael Bay is in it.

    I've only seen it once on ESPN......but has anyone seen the wheel chair commercial, where it comes up so people in wheel chair can slow dance and they even have one playing basketball.....pretty disturbing.

    not sure if it's been mentioned or not, but that one cell phone commercial where the kid is making the burger and the phone cuts out and he puts the raw meat on the plate? :confused: :eek:

    normally those are funny commercials but that one is horrible. it isn't even close to being funny. its got to be the worst commercial ever made.

    Innocent enough. Even good subliminal advertising with all the AT&T logos in almost every scene with the blue pens, the newspapers, the buildings, the playground, the palm trees, the candle lights, and I know I'm forgetting some others. It's just the song.

    You're the only reason I keep on coming home. Gee that's nice. You only come home to see your kid, and not your family? I'm sure they appreciate that a lot. Nit picking but it makes me laugh every time I see that commercial.

    The AT&T commmercials with the fake reality-TV-esque game show.

    And the AT&T ones with the "what would you do with 600 dollars" line.

    Both are awful.
