    Any of the commercials that are repeated endlessly during TBS's coverage of the playoffs. These include but are not limited to : the constant spamming of the Dane Cook MLB Postseason commercials , the DHL "Kenny Lofton" commercials , and the Frank TV commercials. Don't get me wrong , Caliendo is hilarious , it's just that some of those commercials have been shown so many times over the last 2 days that they've gotten old and trite very fast. However , the Robin Williams Frank TV one is hilarious

    Which one is the Robin Williams one? Other than Bush and Madden, the others are so bad I can barely tell who they're supposed to be.

    The Al Pacino one is horrible , his face looks too fat (same with Jack Nicholson)...the Robin Williams one is the one where he is in a Hawaiian shirt , sounds just like him. He was mumbling something about Patch Adams.

    esurance.

    Stupid cartoon commercials to sell car insurance. When they drew up their marketing plan, how did they come to the conclusion that a cartoon with a pink-haired "secret agent" would be the most effective way to advertise?

    I'd much rather buy insurance from David Palmer, and at least the Geico commercials can be amusing.

    I really like this commercial, but this is the best thread for this...

    Does anyone else think that the FedEx commercial where Bill can't find China on a map reminds them of the Orioles front office with Japan? I can just imagine the same thing going on in Angelos's office, and the association makes me chuckle at that commercial every time.

    "Put a pushpin in Japan, Flanny"
    "Mike, that's Russia."
    "That's Greenland, Mike."
    "You have no idea where Japan is, do you?"
    *Pretends to fall down and rips down map*

    Rules to live by:

    1) Real men don't have lap dogs.
    2) Don't date girls with dragon tatoos.
    3) Always always put chile on your Nachos Bellgrande!

    *enter girl with dragon tatoo holding chihuaha*

    "Go walk your dog."


    BWAHAHA, he doesn't follow his own rules, hilarious! I'm going to go buy some nachos at Taco Bell right now!

    And what's the deal with the dragon tattoo thing? Is that some long-standing stereotype, "girls with dragon tattoos are... something"?

    The new Shaws Jewelers radio commercial. It's bad enough they still use that insipid jingle, but now they're patronizing as hell. The whole "how did he know about Shaws?" crap.

    The problem with the "rules to live by" is the guy's inability to maintain a parallel grammatical structure.

    One, real men don't have lap dogs.
    Two, never date a girl with a dragon tattoo.
    And C, always always put chile on your Nachos Bell Grande!

    One, two, C? Must be a Skankees fan.

    "For it's one! two! C strikes you're out, at the old ball game!"

    You must've missed some of Dipper's enumeration witticisms.

    I think I mentioned this commercial before, but I'd just like to reiterate....

    Chaaaaaaaangin'....
    Every thing’s chaaaaaaaagin'....(really? I haven't noticed.)
    I’m through with all this chaaaaaaanging. (good for you. Now shut up)
    I like the way I’m living and I’ve got my reasons why. (Good for you. I really don't care what those reasons are. You suck.)
    And I’m not gonna go on chaaaaaangin’. (Well bully for you)
    I’m not gonna go chaaaaaangin'.... (Shut up already? Know what I'm changin next time I see your horrible commercial? I'm chaaaaagin' the channel.)

    What a horrible commercial. Do I want to drink the stinky pee water thats Coors, the Banquet beer cause I see some rough and rugged mountain looking man walking through the rockies and drinking a beer at some hick bar? No.

    So stop showing the commercial.

    Dating back to at least the first Home Alone movie. If not earlier.
