the worst one out right now is the dude signing the 56 million dollar contract refusing to take the deal because they didn't throw in a subscription to ESPN the mag.

COME THE [censored] ON. Then they talk about adding some POS mp3 player to it likes its the end all be all of everything.

When I am watching live tv, I pause that goddamned commercial. This is why TIVO will eventually rule the universe.

I used to really hate Moose, but he's really grown on me. How can you not like a guy nicknamed Moose? It was also a nice touch when they have Moose hug the car rental guy. I think I'm going to do that next time I get a rental. I was lolzing here at work when I read the other guy's post about hating the commercial.

A commercial I really hate right now are those Lexus commercials where the cars have the big red bow on them, and a couple of neighbors are drooling, wondering if this is a gift for them. "Merry Xmas, honey! I got you $2000/month car payment!" Absolutely terrible.

And I have been witness to the automobile Xmas gift once. It did not go over well.

in a related question, i was watching tv the other day and saw a few commercials. the first was that jay-z commericial for budweiser with that song 'show me what you got'. the other was the commercial with the rapper 'common' for gap.

who's the bigger sell out, jay-z or common?

AB brews King Cobra, so at least there's a tenuous connection to a gangsta lifestyle.

I was wondering about this as well when they started up the ad campaign. How did they get Jay-Z to do their commercials (obv most likely is money, but if that's the case, how much)?

I remember being at a sports-bar on NFL sunday a few weeks ago, and at one point in time like 3 or 4 different TVs showing different games were all playing that exact same [censored] piece of [censored] commercial.

The difference is, he started out as a sell-out.

My roommate is majoring in marketing, whenever we're watching TV he says "and that's why I'm majoring in marketing" every commercial break. It's annoying, but very poignant.

There are a lot of awful, awful commercials.

"I'm lovin' it" infuriates me. Actually, any McDonalds commercial ever infuriates me.
