    Those Progressive commercials, with one of the Box doing a Vlog, well I been vlogs for the longest time, but no one got foghorns SFX in the vlogs, another is the guy that lying to Jamie, by didn't known anyone names, but saying their names, and you thought that remember his name but no they throw some girl with also name Jamie. What the hell, they got name tags on least remember see it before say it.

    Pretty much this. Wanna throw that box into a woodchipper for acting like a dumb hipster.

    If you watch Archer, you realize the box is the same voice as Cyrill Figus.

    I don't mind the ones with the box, usually because he gets put in his place at the end. He's not omniscient and unstoppable like freakin' Flo, who I seriously despise.

    I agree about the "Jamie" commercial though. Totally terrible.

    It's honestly not a terrible commercial, but that last bit is just grating. I guess it's trying to go for a "iPads will replace computers" or something... but it just doesn't work. It makes it look more like the iPad owner in question is a complete moron.

    Not to mention...Apple still makes computers. The commercial's basically saying "You really wasted your money on that $2500 macbook. They're so last year!"

    OMFG do you remember the jeans commercial from years ago (pretty sure it was Levi's) where the dude is walking down the street with headphones on and they CG his legs dancing basically completely independent of his body? THAT one pissed me off.

    Or the old laptop/notebook commercial that had the song "I Love You Ono" on it. That song is shit enough without the pretentious hipsters dancing poorly.





    Enough with the hate, how about a commercial we loved?

    The Cadbury "eyebrows" commercial. It makes me laugh every time I see it, as does the gif that mixes it with the character from Lazytown

    The phone commercial with that annoying woman saying you get a line. And the Burger King commercial with those twins who looked baked off their ass.

    Right now it is the Big Mac with bacon commercials. The dude in the white suit spouting nonsense about a big mac with bacon. There are two or three in the series and they are just awful. ads should make you want to buy the product..I just want to punch that guy in the face.

    The Proactive ad with that mother flipping free charcoal brush. All I want to do is listen to music and eat my breakfast, I don't want to hear how cute a flippin brush is.

    Every ad for any drug, they are all just so ridiculous the list of side effects are so long. It makes me happy that I hardly ever watch live tv anymore.

    Lately I keep getting a lot of Goldfish Cracker ads that try to be, in their own words, "epic" (AKA noisy, obnoxious... And unfortunately, unskippable). I dunno what product this next one is for, but there's a woman seated at a restaurant who seems excited to eat, only to start taking pictures of her food. It's skippable at least.

    However, there's a really quiet, peaceful ad for some variety of Neutrogena product that I kinda like slightly. No obnoxious noise, just 5 second recording of oranges on a tree and some nature sounds to accompany it. When my Youtube vids stop to load an ad, and it's this one, I don't mind at all.

    Gotta agree with this, plus the side effects tend to be more deadly than the condition you take the meds to 'cure'. :lol

    How bad is your condition that you are willing to risk "anal leakage"?

    I'm getting really sick of Pacific Rim 2 trailers playing before all my videos on YouTube! I don't remember much about the first other than that the plot was kinda stupid. This one doesn't look any better. (Not a giant monster buff)

    Don't remember the drug that was being touted but the "warning" list comprised three blocks of captioning. Basically the CC version of a paragraph equaling a block. No thanks, I'm good.
