The one with a red haired girl shaking her butt while the song Drop It Like It’s Hot is playing. If she wants to drop one like it’d hot, she should be on the toilet instead of doing a commercial. ---

Game of War has managed to scrape up enough cash to feature Kate Upton in their TV and internet ads. As far as I can tell their strategy is “Yes, our game is shit but LOOK AT THE BOOBIES game does not actually include boobies”. ---

> [@GrumpyBunny](#): > > “1-8-7-7 Cars for Kids…1-8-7-7 Cars for Kids” Repeat until you shoot the tv or radio. The Ad Man is going to be pissed that you spelled it wrong. “K-A-R-S Kars 4 Kiiiiids, 1-8-7-7 Kars 4 Kids, donate your Kar today!” BLAM! And now the song is stuck in my head, and I hate you. ---

> [@VunderBob](#): > > Any commercial where one of the characters has to barf. Value City Furniture and Maaco Auto Body are the two most prominent at the moment. These are the ones I came to mention. WHO the HELL thought vomiting is a good advertising hook? The other series I hate is Liberty Mutual and the Stupid People Whining About Insurance. It’s as if none of them have heard of deductibles or personal responsibility and they all think the purpose of auto insurance is to replace what they’ve lost at no cost to them. Hey, stupid insurance customers, news flash - it’s a business and their business is to make money, not buy you a new car! I want to smack every single one of the people in those ads - repeatedly!! And since they never talk about the premiums, you \*know \*you’re not going to save 15% in 15 minutes… 😉 ---

I want to smack that woman who puts her feet up on the guy’s desk because she has a good credit score; I want to smack her in the puss and that wimpy assed husband of hers as well. And WTF is that stuff she’s doing at the end? Pointing and waving? Dumb. The non-Experian commercial where the idiot woman has her credit score as a tat on her arm. Not only does the commercial suck, but she can’t act, either. ---

The Subaru ad where the kid’s remote control car breaks, so dad plops it in the front seat and does donuts in the dirt, yelling “I fixed it!” while the kids look on. ---

As far as I can tell their strategy is “Yes, our game is shit but LOOK AT THE BOOBIES game does not actually include boobies”. Ha! Well put! Whenever I see those ads, I wonder how much dough they have to screw out of the players to afford the ad budget. Those ads have large casts and high production values - they can’t be cheap. ---

Fucking idiots wreck their new car, then bitch about it when you know goddamn well they probably picked the cheapest fucking policy they could find. NEWSFLASH! Insurance is a fucking scam! And they run them all damn day, over and over and over. My newest hate is the soup commercial that features a close up of a moley-faced broad _slurping_ soup! Fucking disgusting! I can not stand slurping! ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > And even worse is when the woman is encouraging people to “go commando.” I’m afraid she’s going to ask everyone coming out of the bathroom to wave their panties around to prove they did it. Worse, she has them moon you. > [@Finagle](#): > > Which brings us to [this commercial:](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJBRpylC9-Q) in which focus groups are asked whether the guy in front of the pickup truck is more manly (spoiler: the answer is “hell yeah”). Seriously? They might as well just run the commercial with a tag line “Your penis is too small, you should buy a truck.” Doesn’t matter if you don’t actually need to tow stuff or carry stuff – buy our [18mpg vehicle](http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2015-chevrolet-colorado-v-6-4x4-test-review) because you’ll look cooler in it than in a Toyota. This is made worse by the fact that it is for the Chevy Colorado, which is only slightly less manly then driving an old Chevy LUV truck. > [@Bam\_Boo\_Gut](#): > > I would never call my car ‘Brad’. But she does let the crazy slip out a bit when “you totaled Brad”. My own is any commercial by Credit Karma. Most especially the ones with the homely, hipster-ish chick with the glasses who just randomly spouts the words “credit. karma.” while having her friend express shock that she does know her credit score. ---

All of the Kate Upton “Game of War” commercials. I get it, sex sells, but can you at least put a bit more of a gloss on it than “Look! Boobs! alsowehaveagameanditprobablydoesnthaveboobsbut Look! Boobs! She wants you to play with [del]them[/del] her!” ---

The Kate Upton “Game of War” commercials are essentially live action versions of the old [Evony/Civony banner ads](https://www.google.com/search?q=evony+ads&biw=1280&bih=874&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=a3guVZ2FNpXcoASMh4CQDw&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=evony+civony+ads) (no nudity, but ample cleavage on display).

I’m not sure if anyone else, or even myself, has posted this, but the two idiots in the car for Sonic. They have made way too many of these, and every time I see one, I think two things: 1.

> [@panache45](#): > > 1. Any commercial that goes: “FACT:” blah-blah-blah. “FACT:” blah-blah-blah. “FACT:” blah-blah-blah. Don’t copy writers get paid big bucks for actually writing copy, rather than just regurgitating the “facts” given to them? How about when the fact is wrong? There’s an arthritis medicine commercial that starts out by informing you that bodies at rest tend to stay at rest, and bodies in motion tend to stay in motion, while they show some guy getting up out of a lawn chair and going for a walk, then a jog. Yeah, that’s totally what Newton was going for. Newton’s first law: get off your lard ass and go for a jog; this cures arthritis; well, this, and whatever pill we’re pushing. I _hate_ that commercial. I also hate all commercials that have anything to do with credit scores, and this includes future ones too. ---

> [@GrumpyBunny](#): > > “1-8-7-7 Cars for Kids…1-8-7-7 Cars for Kids” Repeat until you shoot the tv or radio. I noticed that that ad carefully doesn’t say how they’re going to spend the money on children, so I looked it up. It’s a [Jewish organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kars4Kids) whose purpose seems to be to help secular Jews become more faithful (specifically Orthodox). There’s nothing wrong with that, but, for example, I prefer to give donated items to the secular Goodwill Industries rather than the Christian Salvation Army.
