There’s a commercial with a low ranking employee sitting on an airplane about to eat a sandwich and the boss shows up and says if the kid agrees with something or other to take a bite and the camera shows the kid with gapped front teeth chomping down. The boss then looks more stupid demonstrating where the exits are. The scenario doesn’t even make sense and it’s supposed to be funny I guess but it just comes off as stupid.

I know it's been stated repeatedly here, but just to add in...

...I hate, hate, hate any viagra, cialis, etc., commercial. I'm in that age demographic, and I know me and my hunting buddies sit around the campfire and sing Viva Viagra just all the time.

The ones where "You're at an age where you don't let things throw you"...the one with the "experienced" man driving the classic car, it begins to overheat, he stops and buys some bottled water to cool it off. If he was really experienced, he'd have some premixed in the trunk already. Or if they really want to impress me with some out-of-the-box thinking, show him urinating into the radiator to fix it. Buying bottled water? Nah.

The one with the "cowboy" driving a pickup pulling a horse trailer through country that looks like where i grew up. Desert, or near so, and he gets stuck in a mud puddle? The only moisture for a hundred miles? He uses the horsed to pull out. Dumb. If he's so wise and doesn't let things throw him, first he'd have a 4x4 in that country. Second, he'd drive around the mud-hole.

OK, I feel mildly better. But, oh, i hate them all.

I hear ya, I hate em too. I learned today that we are only one of TWO countries that allow drug companys to advertise on tv. The other one is New Zealand. It especially irks me when they tell you to tell your doctor if blah blah blah. They have the paperwork, they should know your history. They also make you fill out page after page in the waiting room.
I've gotten to the point where I have 2, 3 or more channels to switch to, so I don't have to watch any commercials unless I want to.
One of my favorites is the one with the black female singing on stage, "I'm gonna write you a letter about all the things I want you to do to me". Very sexy. I can't find anything on the net, and I don't even know what they're selling. Maybe somebody here can help me out.

That commercial has caught my attention as well. It is for Heineken(I intentionally checked it out). Is she black? I know she is dressed in black, and the whole commercial then looks and sounds like it is circa 1940's.

I love the internet, thank you. Found it, and I was wrong, she's not black.

There's something about this commercial that makes it great, not sure what it is, but I like it.

I really hate the commercial for some type of alcohol where they have large groups of people partying in supposedly different decades, but the women are all played by very obviously current, extremely tall, super skinny models. It bugs the crap out of me that the women all look the same. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be a bad commercial.

One of my easy top 5 most hated commercial is any one involving the sound effects to the Kit Kat tune.

I’ve seen that commercial and today’s skinny gals have a hard time filling the shoes of the old time curvy women. Same with the portrayals of the 60’s hippie chicks, they just aren’t convincing.
