The chicken commercial with the two kids and the father ....Did you just fist bump

The chicken commercial with the two kids and the father ....Did you just fist bump

We have a winner. This is without a doubt, the most annoying commercial of all time. It also sets the record for the most played commercial of all time. It's on every 10 minutes on every network around the clock.

What the hell is it supposed to mean? It makes no sense. I'll never set foot in a Golden Corral because of this commercial.

The subway commercials with Jarrett rhe child porn guy turned out bad I guess . Same with OJ and hertz.

The progressive turning into your parents commercials are excellent

Progressive makes some annoying commercials, but I have to admit, I got a little kick out of some of the "turning into your parents" ads.

Agree on the Emu. But, do you remember Greg's first stint at RU? Liberty Mutual sponsored The Coach of the Year, which he won. One follow up from that involved a LM sponsored tour of the football facilities with some talks from assistant coaches.

Although they can be overexposed, I like many of the commercials that feature either Barkley or Shaq.

If I hear that guy asking if his elbows are sexy one more time, I’m breaking things.

I'm in the business, so I inherently despise Geico, but some of their commercials are good. I love "Ice T?"... "Lemonade... read the sign!"

The NIssan Heisman house ads are terrific too.

Yes my old professor in advertising class theorized that commercials that are annoying are good because people tend to remember the brand name more than if they like the commercial: “ring around the collar”
Guess more folks are not like me, if a commercial annoys me I will never buy the product. Stopped drinking Dr. pepper when they had that annoying vendor guy. Do like Fansville, maybe will have to go back to drinking the stuff.
This years Fansville ads are very funny.

The Allstate guy has become the TV version of the Kars For Kids radio commercial. I can't get to the off button quick enough. $$$$

The Direct TV "Housewives/Football" ad is everywhere and is flat out terrible. I didn't think they could do worse than the "Sarina Williams in a Mall" spot from last year, but here we are. I change the channel when that commercial comes on.
