Now that all of those excellent polit ads are gone, we're back to being stuck with funeral expense & medi-gap insurance enrollment spots, 1-800CallSaul, the Physicians Mutual dancing tooth, Ford's cat-in-heat "Live free and die" jingles, and the uber-caring fakes at the catchy-jingled "Auto Accident Help Desk" pretending to answer a flood of calls with a smile (I think they book discount airline tickets on the side).

Bring on Dark Friday!

Xiaflex, a treatment for Peyronie's disease aka 'bent carrot'. The spot mentions 'penile stretching and straightening exercises'. WTF, are these done by the doctor? A nurse? An intern? DIY? Seriously, I feel bad for any poor bastard with this condition, but I find these spots to be annoying....

The Miracle-Ear "Sure can!" commercials. They got annoying with the first airing.

Damn, I'm really liking those "Woo!" spots! :lol I go "Woo!" right along with 'em. Then again, I'm an ex-ad guy.

And I'll take Mayhem over Flo, Gekko, and Limu Emu any day. :razz Although I'm kinda liking that dude with the melting wax statue of himself. :lol

Those Discover Card commercials with the ditzy blonde. She looks like she put on her make up with a paint roller.

Yeah I'm sick of those, no wonder Allstate insurance is so expensive lol.

i'm getting tired of this one I keep seeing: " I paid $197.00 for State Farm, now look what I paid for this one, same policy, same car, $31.00 a month"
