There are a few recent ones that I find annoying.

One is that M&M piece of garbage in which a piece of candy is at a party with pretty girls.

Another matches incongruously Abe Lincoln with some jazzing modern singing. I think it is an ad for some car, but the lyrics contain 'red, white, and Blue Tooth'. Ugh!

A third is for a soft drink. There are a lot of beautiful Hispanic women, but the woman they portray is large with big bones, like a man's, and has that masculine dark thick brow with brilliant red lipstick. She looks like a male cross dresser. She might be pretty with a little fixing up, but looks way too harsh and aggressive.

I yell "OW!" when he yells "OW!", it hurts me even thinking about it....

The old DirecTV "butterfly effect" commercials were excellent. The ones that replaced them with the husband and wife were really creepy.

Abe Lincoln and George Washington singing praises for a Japanese car company is insulting no matter how hip or funny they think it is.

I think Geico is desperate to get away from the gecko.
I don't know whether the lizard's time is up or if (I don't know much about the contracts behind ad creativity) they are paying way too much to some ad agency for the lizard.

They are trying a lot of different models/mascots, but nothing seems to hit the buttons that the lizard does. He's the right mix of gentleness and caring to rectify the idea that most of us have of insurance companies.

OK, I really dislike the Honey Nut Cheerios commercial where the song "If Loving You is Wrong, I Don't Wanna Be Right" is playing (I love the song, hate that it is being used like this). I hate the loud record skip, and prior to that, the woman lying on her stomach (on a bed? subliminal sex again) touches her nose with the spoon. WTH(eck) is THAT all about, except stupidity? I really don't get it, is it supposed to be sexy????
