    That is my #1 one also. I think it tells kids it's acceptable to eat like a pig and slop food all over yourself. Nope, we won't go there. My kids said that the two of us not going there is really going to hurt the chain. Maybe not, but it's the principle of the thing.

    Ice cream and cake on the Dairy Queen commercials, my kids drove me nuts with this one!!!
    Doesn't that commercial say "Do the ice cream and cake"?
    Is that supposed to be some kind of stupid dance? I don't get it. That dumb song goes in my head and I can't get it out. Just HATE it.
    yup it sure is and its as stupid as it sounds, I don't remember being entertained by such mindless garbage when I was a kid

    I love watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials of the Budweiser Clydesdales. Even if you don't like/drink beer, they are so much fun.
    I absolutly love that Betty White Snickers commercial and the other Snickers one where the guy in the car is Aretha Franklin and he is the drama queen, guys wont admit it but if they are hungry they do act like that!!LOL

    Talking about MacD made me remember that I really hate the King in the Burger King commercials. He looks horrible, like a criminal.

    please don't get me wrong, I am for SPCA, but their commercial about the mistreated animals I just can't stand it. To be sure they can advertise the SPCA a much better way!I got my cat from SPCA. But that is awful! and the feed the children thing too, that is emotional hype. I'd go adopt those animals and children in a heart beat, and thats what they are feeding on!
    I know there is cruelty to animals and children, but again theres a better way to advertize.

    The advertising agencies believe in irritation TV watchers. That insures you talk (gripe)about their product. Remember the 'Don't squeeze the Charmin' guy?

    Years ago the King in Burger King looked so much better, and he was human, not a false face! thats why Burger King has gone down so much too,
    I didn't like Macdonalds at that time. and well they posed him as a criminal as well, he stole from Mcdonalds in one of thise sick commercials.
