Worst: Buick. I hear that theme song and reflexively reach for the mute button.
Best: Christian Laettner, resting on his laurels. Laettner's mannerisms are strange, which makes him weirdly likable.

The SLJ, Spike Lee, Barkley ads are just inane. 'In the Annapolis'....weak. You'd think if they were going to spend all this money on celebrities they'd at least hire some clever writers.

I like the Barkley-SLJ commercials. And the Android be together, not the same commercials.

I hate the "good for her" Buick commercials with the heat of a million suns.

Major omission on my part. The BMW ads are bad. I get them confused
with the Buick ads, which are now featuring their own annoying old woman.

And I do chuckle at 'Barles Charkley'. They've improved since the first one.

I like the ones with Barkley, Dr J, George Gervin and Laettner. The one where Dr J says it is almost time for the Big Dance and Shag says "that is what they called me in college the big dance." Then he asks Dr J to help get up off the coach, breaks into his dance moves and Laettner looks at him and says, "Impressive."

I don't like any of the car commercials but the Geico ad with the chicken is funny as hell.

For humor: I love the Steve Rannazzisi Buffalo Wild Wings commercials.

"My point guard.. Power forward... Shooting Guard... Celery."

For emotional: The Tupac/DRose Powerade commercial gives me chills.

Free range chicken is the best one

The car ads are uniformly awful, but not as bad as the insurance company ads

That little girl with the black curly hair and the black guy doing voice-over makes me cringe...and then there's the kid at the window with the black mascara

Thank you All-State for most tasteless and disgusting commercial of the tournament

If I had you I would cancel you

UGH!!!

Cute girl has Enterprise guy pick her up at the family get-together. Terrible. Barles and Mars are OK. We'll all be sick of all them by the time the tourney is over, though.

Northwestern Mutual has the f*cking Watford shot in it. Terrible commercial. Will never use their services.

I hate most ads nowadays. It's just repeating the same catchphrase or slogan over and over and over. So nauseating annoying. The worst is the "don't count that" one. I don't even know what it's for, but I can't reach the remote fast enough.

Barles Charkley I laughed at, the Underwater Ninja one is my least favorite. Buick could oat least sprang for a new commercial.

Know how I know it's a Buick? Because it looks like a Buick, it has the Buick emblem on the front, and it says Buick.

I can't stand the white guy and his witty Jewish counterpart on the Sonic commercials.

Sonic can't be serious with those idiots. Hey Sonic, show me hot girls on roller skates everyday of the week and twice on Sunday.

The Buick commercial with the couple that are spying on their neighbors is stupid.

Couple of nosey hipsters. Why does that guy have a pair of binoculars by his sink? Freaking rich voyeur.

The BMW ads are the only ones I'm NOT tired of yet. The old ladies are great. My kids go around the house saying "pah-SAT" all the time now.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the neighbor is slipping it to his wife on the DL.....

I love all the Barkley ads particularly because it shows that Barkley can laugh at himself - and accepts all the good-natured ribbing from his co-hosts and actors. He's a happy dude.
:--)

The Subaru commercial (I think it's Subaru) is hilarious with the dad asking the little kid - "want to drive?" and the kid has this flash forward of all the problems driving's going to bring about.

The Coca Cola ad with the series of more and more disastrous events - and the bottle being passed on is pretty funny too.

The Buick ad is probably the worst...

No that Mindy (Kaling?) invisible Nationwide one is the worst. Is there some inside joke that she's invisible?!

Not sure, but that *** is definitely visible. It's the size of a car door.

I enjoy the Laettner resting on his laurels ad, but the rest of those are garbage. But I found out what I was looking for was "science" mixed with the wisdom of religion, so now I know to look to Scientology. The brainwashed people looked content.

That kid cracks me up. He has better comedic timing than most SNL cast members.

C'mon, you're killing me.
