Perhaps they’re claiming that the gasoline is 100% domestic?
A bit of searching has revealed that Marathon means the freedom of the open road.
Automobile as freedom is a longstanding metaphor, so it’s not a horrible extension.
The Invesco commercial, where a group of people are annoyingly yapping away.
I can take annoying commercials; I can’t take commercials that are DELIBERATELY annoying. This is the only commercial that makes me change the channel.
There’s a current commercial for Gold Peak Tea that says something like: “There’s nothing like the home-brewed taste of Gold Peak Tea.” So in one sentence they are saying their tea tastes like something else but doesn’t taste like anything else. It is a koan.
This reminds me of something from a book Manners Can Be Fun, by Munro Leaf, from about 80 years ago. He wrote. “THE PIGS [referring to a category of ill-mannered children]. They have all sorts of toys but they won’t let other kids play with them. They just squeal THAT’S MINE”.
Maybe this Dodge owner is descended from one of those “pigs.” 
Only in the US. In other countries, it’s sold by the litre.
So, um, our freedom is bigger than theirs?
I once read, in a book of math exercises and puzzles, about “various kinds of endlessnesses.”
Toshiba and their back-to-back-to-back-to-back “slash” commercials can go straight to hell.
This local commercial enrages me every time it comes on. First the clown music in the background, and then the face “mom” makes as the bitch waits for the fireball that burns her husband. Cunt.
Hate them with the fire of a thousand suns.
Heck, one sun can burn them to a crisp.
The Lending Tree faux muppet.
Awkward.
Never seen one.
There’s a Red Lobster ad about a crab leg special, and the voice-over says something about being a crab addict. I swear, it sounds like he’s saying “crap addict” - which, as far as I’m concerned, works for Red Lobster. Except for their cheddar biscuits - those thing ROCK!!
Haven’t seen them. Are they in this list?
Oh, do you mean these?
What’s particularly annoying about them?
Don’t nobody crap on the new Flo commercial with lactose intolerant Jamie. It’s the best.
I won’t, as long as you don’t criticize the new GEICO one with the Kraken.
(If the Geico Gecko’s voice actor asks for a raise, they could always threaten to have the Kraken eat him…)
There’s one for a burglar alarm company called SimpliSafe. The voiceover says something like “most alarm systems rely on vulnerable landlines, but SimpliSafe is cellular for a more reliable connection”. Landlines are vulnerable to what, exactly, greedy, thieving gophers? I don’t recall landline phones needing a display to show if they have a connection or not, they just always do.
