"I touched the ball, coach. I touched it; it's their ball."
Yeah, and if instant-replay happened in high school games, or people were allowed to be both the official and a player in the same game, that would make a damn bit of difference.

I seem to notice a trend here. I am now hating the Heinekin commercial with the douchey hipster showing up at a party, doing karate with Bruce Lee Wanna Be and of course, it has some chick singing a crappy song.
I've been torn with this for some time recently. I can't decide between the Edge shave gel (youtube.com) one with the guy that rips off Isaiah Mustafa's bit without any charisma to it or the Hot Pockets Sideshots (youtube.com) one where they look like, uh, trying to find a way to say this without grossing out people, uh, ah hell, there's no easy way to say this, they look like butt holes crowning. And then one of them gets abducted and screams in horror as it realizes it's about to die. Somehow they think from that commercial that I'll want to buy their product.
So with that being said, I guess the 'honor' of being the worst goes to Hot Pockets. The Edge commercial is irritating and uncreative but the sideshots one is creepy, disgusting, and stupid all at the same time. At least the one good thing out of this will be all the new material Jim Gaffigan will have to work with now.
The 5 Hour Energy ad, where the guy drinks it to wake up and work out with his girlfriend. She is so bitchy and pissed at him for (gasp!) wanting to work out with her. "Uh, what are you doing?"
God, in Heaven, I hate this. It's not just that I hate Glee or I hate Lea Michelle or I hate that song or I hate how she sings that song - IT'S ALL OF THAT COMBINED.

However, I still sort of want an HP TouchPad.
...oh, THAT'S why I'm supposed to know who that is. Yup, still don't care. (Needs more Miranda Cosgrove, or (even better) Jerry Trainor, in character.)

I think she's hot and I love watching the commercial, but skip to 18 seconds in. On our left, her right hand, look at that green blob on her wrist. I don't know why, but it creeps me out every time but I can't stop focusing on it.

Did the Budweiser commercial make you this angry when they first did it in 2002, or is your anger like a fine wine, growing richer and more complex with age?
I went back through this thread and was surprised to see how many commercials are listed that I can't remember at all...even one I commented on.
My latest addition would be the AT&T commercial where the guy prematurely flash mobs. First off, who would reschedule a flash mob minutes before it was supposed to happen? Second, the data speed point they're trying to make (which, in their case, is completely false anyway), doesn't apply to simple messages.
Little food items (candy, snack food) are good especially if you know what her favorites are. Warm fuzzy socks, one of those fancy little knit scarves, gloves, fancy hot drink packets (hot chocolate, cider)
