The Santa one is Tacky...not humorous at all...at least a few are a touch funny; but still in poor taste...and toopushy with dubious/false claims.

All of the commercials for pharmaceuticals that come on during the national news. Especially those for Viagra and similar drugs; I can't imagine what it must be like to be a parent and have your kids listening to these. Sheesh, makes me long for the innocent days of the Hamm's Bear and Marlboro commercials (and I don't smoke or drink!).

And those for any "feminine" products, or adult diapers!

I think the AT&T commercials are awful. Enough!

DFWgal: The Oxyclean guy, Billy Mays, is dead, so hopefully his commercials will disappear someday soon. He became a minor celebrity because of his high-pitched annoying voice. Go figure.
I forgot about the sneaky tactics...should not be allowed...many people cannot read the fine print nor speed read. I think that first commercial is Capitalism gone awry. Billy passed so...

They are terrible...you need this drug...and go tell your Doctor to prescribe it for you...than tell him your taking this and that drug...Isn't that what we are paying the Doctor for?????Or are they only dispensers of Pharmaceutical companies?
