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.

You can visit Pity City, but you can't live there

You are given a piece of rope in life; you can pull yourself up with it or hang yourself. Most choose the 2nd option.

GEICO for March Madness resurrected the most annoying commercial in television history, featuring Maxwell the Pig.

I wanted to throw a brick at the TV when I saw the spot air on Thursday. It's aired at least twice during the Michigan / Texas A&M game (currently halftime).
Buc-ee's sucks! Stay the hell away from my state.
