this one puzzled me for a long time my brother had to explain it-- boy that was embarrassing on a few levels

But DH and i LOVE the one where the 2 guys start out on a trip with a "Learn Spanish tape" and by the time they stop for gas they get out of the car bickering to each other in Spanish!!! LOL I think it an ad for a "high MPG car"...
Loved this one myself!! I think its a VW ad, but I don't remember.

OMG...the Food Network just had the ad with the food slapping someone in the face on it. I'm in the other room and it made my skin crawl.

My favorite is the Travelers commercials with the dog is having nightmares about someone stealing his bone. Its finally protected by the Travelers umbrella.

I'm tired of hearing about the rescue animals..."Poor Betty!"..what about poor me?There's no doubt that there are many "poor animals"out there; HOWEVER....I'm not sending them any money if they can afford five minutes of commercial TV time sixteen times a day!! The ones I donate regularly to do NOT have TV ads, nor do I see that they waste money.

I simply can't stand that one for sure! I sometimes just mute the tv when some of those commercials are on! How stupid or dumb do they think we are anyway??

I can remember back when, when my step-grandfather quit drinking Pepsi, because Michael Jackson did that commercial! If I can remember right, I liked that music back then! lol
