Just heard a spot after Cubs postgame for a law firm that gets you out of timeshare contracts in case, for example, your wife dies of cancer and it's too depressing to vacation there anymore. That's...dark.

That reminds me, I heard Jeff Joniak doing a commercial for a timeshare exit company, and then there was an ad for Grandview Homes (which buys your home without putting it on the market) and the spokesperson sounded just like Jeff Joniak.

Can't stand the Jim Beam commercial with the chic with the crackling voice. Enough already.

you don't recognize mila kunis? she's totally wrong for that ad. she really tries to hard.

since it's morning and i'm watching tv, i can't stand that ad...i think it's raisin bran? dad and daughter fishing. it makes no sense. they take pot shots at each other, with "werewolves of london" playing over them instrumentally. then she catches a fish and the dad says "guess we're eating cereal for dinner." it is a really...really...facepalm.

the one with the asian baby playing with a stuffed lion, neglecting a jealous dog, until Daddy Amazon one-clicks
a lion mane hat for the dog and then the baby pays attention because it thinks the dog is a lion.

I just saw the long form version of the Hyundai "Sweet Caroline" commercial. Even worse than the short version.

not so much the ad itself, but the music.
The BMW ads with the oh-so-fashionable stomp/chant/life-affirming-lyrics imagine dragons type bullshit.

I enjoy the conspiracy theory that Paul Westerberg wrote all the Goo Goo Dolls' songs.

My friend and I have discussed before whether commercials that are so bad can have a negative impact on sales. I have despised the McDonald's commercials for the past several years ever since that one with the douchebag who refused to talk to people until he had his morning coffee. That commercial has made me swear off McDonald's for good.

Hyundai's Sweet Caroline is slowly getting there as well. It's even worse for me. I no longer have cable, so the only commercials I see are on Hulu. Hulu has a lot less commercials, so they rotate the same ones multiple times per episode of whatever you are watching. So I have to see that dumb bitch yell "So good" too many damn times. Hyundai is getting closer to the chopping block.

Yeah, this is just an awful campaign in general but I'm not sure I've ever liked one of theirs.

Not to mention that he comes right back with Sweet Caroline when that isn't even the correct lyric. It is offensive to fans of Neil Diamond who are the very fans they are trying to convince to purchase a Hyundai. Also, look how far to the right he is in the lane! Not to mention all the cars behind him -- that's just dangerous driving.

Bob recorded that line on his deathbed, I think.

Sensodyne commercials are not saying that dentists recommend using it, but that these other non-dentists think "dentists are really going to want to recommend it." As bad as the Life Lock telling me that not all transactions can be monitored.

So Pedro Strop got an endorsement deal with A car dealership in Sterling Illinois and I’m being bombarded with adds for it during Hawks game and college football today. It’s not at murder level yet but it’s getting there.

The Geico commercial with the triangle solo.

The Chili's commercials where the guy sings everything to the tune of "I need my baby back, baby, back, baby back..."

I just keep telling myself, that was the best takes they could get. Holy cats.

The It's Just Lunch commercials are back, but instead of running a rotation of terrible spots, they're only running the baseball one where he says "suuuure, maybe you can have a beer and a fraaaaaankfurtuh while you root-root-root for the hoooome team." I very, very rarely want to murder the man on the radio, but...

Some commercial for some video game Middle Earth: Shadow of War that uses some simpering slowed choral version
of 'Zombie' by The Cranberries. That song was terrible in the first place, but it's even worse now.

there are 2 commercials that get played so goddamn much, it's brought my piss to a boil just hearing the first few seconds...and they're not new:

1) the state farm commercial with the two thieves. golf clap worthy maybe the first time...annoying the second...rage inducing the six hundredth...which is probably a conservative number of how many times it's come on during breaks.

2) the cheetos commercial with the dad singing "tell it to my heart". i can't stand the new chester the cheetah anyway. he seems like a two-faced scumbag. but the bad singing is unforgivable. and to have it played as often as it is...makes me hate every fucking paycheck that asshole gets for singing it.

The latest one has some lady telling us she asked her "designer" if she could have a drawer "just for my sunglasses".

it's not a "commercial" but that ten second spot "featuring" Jason Goff and the B&G show, Jason is spouting some insane sentence about Mitch (Pro Bowl QB) Trubisky, and nothing he says makes sense. Anyone else hear this?

I’ve heard it a few times. No clue what his point is. I always ask “that’s the clip you chose to attract listeners?”

On a related note, I am not a fan of those pre-recorded spots they play after a big game (usually Bernstein or Mully saying something like, "Well, the Bears lost again, falling to the Vikings, and are now 1-4. Stick around for full coverage..."). You just know they recorded two versions days earlier. The fakeness is off-putting.

I always think of this old SNL sketch when I hear those spots.
