The worst commercial ever

I know there was a thread on this a while back but I couldn't find it so I am starting a new one.

Newest Worst Commercial Ever: that stupid Viagra commercial where they are all singing "Viva Viagra" instead of "Viva Las Vegas."

Horrible. Makes me want to stick a knitting-needle in my ear. Elvis is spinning in his grave, for sure.

who watches commercials anymore?

Apparently Dead Elvis does.

Haven't seen it, but Skittles has been making some weird, and disturbing commercials…

I have to agree with you - why in God's name would you sing and rejoice the fact you can't get it up on your own anymore?

I have to admit to something I'm not proud of here - I enjoy the Geico caveman ads.

I used to enjoy those, but at this point I think they are played out. And it frightens me that there is a TV show based on those ads airing soon. The cavemen could hold my attention for 30 seconds, but 30 minutes…I don't think the show stands a chance.

I don't watch tv very often (let's say a couple hours a month) but everytime I do, I find myself shaking my head in disdain at the commercials.

We'll find out October 2 on ABC! I'm looking forward to it - I find the writing in the commercials very clever, especially when he's at the therapist and turns it around on her.

Thankfully, my TiVo had prevented me from seeing that:

I concur. That is awful.

How about the ones where the dude has red ponytails or whatever they're called, I think its Wendys, not sure.

The current worst commercial is by Audi. On a quiet suburban street along comes a fucking drunk at top speed who skids and spins into a parking place. If someone did that on my street I'd slash their tires.

Car commercials show cars used in patently illegal and dangerous ways, all that would get you thrown in jail and void your warranties. Why do they do this? Can Zippo show their lighters lighting joints and molotov cocktails? Can Ginsu show me slashing a drunk's tires?

rush 2112 live - what a commercial for air supply on steroids dictacting many to have an unknown appeal to it for oh so ever too long. like pink floyd gone wrong on every level.

those are hilarious

I don't watch much TV, either. But what's that one with the British school boy who wants to know if it's "Berries and Cream" or something? I love that one. I have no idea what it's for.

As long as you are a professional tire-slasher on a closed course and it was stated as such, I think it would all be kosher.

Don't forget the headon commercials.

The Audi one is really quite clever - it's taking a shot at Lexus because they evidently have a car that parallel parks itself between two piles of champagne glasses or something like that. I'm damn good at parking but if there were two piles of champagne glasses on the street I might look for another place to park, but that's just me.
I concour with the Wendy's ads - stupid, and if I did eat fast food I'd boycott Wendy's because of their stupid commercials.

I haven't eaten at Quizno's since those freaky singing hamster ads they had on a few years ago. They were definitely channel changers for me.

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA

and since i'm on a classics kick, let's not forget: MENTOS, THE FRESHMAKER. any commercial that makes up a new word is automatically horrible.

How about the commercials which I think are for Pepto Bismol…the ones where people are doing the "diarrhea dance"? Who comes up with these ideas??
