You remember that really awful moppette who does those  
nauseating Pepsi commercials? Right, that really obnoxious little talentless brat that reminds you of the Exorcist movie. Well, she has now combined forces with Kiss - ugh.  
The result is the most repugnent tv commercial with full Kiss makeup even on that revolting kid… enough to make me stop drinking Pepsi.

Whew, I feel much better now. Gotta go.

Especially the godfather thing. The Aretha Franklin is OK.

Nothing is as bad as the Einstein commercial. Poor fellow is probably rolling in his grave.

I like all Coke ads better than all Pepsi ads.  
I think when you have 49% of the market it’s sad you’re always comparing yourself to someone else.

Mountain Dew has the best ads. The one with those four extreme dudes singing “Bohemian Rhapsody” cracked me up.

I equate that to raping Freddie Mercury’s corpse. I’d quit drinking Mountain Dew after seeing that commercial, but I never drink that nasty shit in the first place.

You think that’s bad? What about that bank commercial that used that Bob Dylan tune? Or the phone company that used Come Together? Augh! That’s as bad as when Apple used a picture of Gandhi in one of its ‘think different’ ads!

Oh, come on. We’re talking commercials, here, mostly written by out of touch stuffed shirts with double digit I.Q’s. So have a grain of salt on me.

Just be glad it’s not the little girl from the Welch’s grape juice commercials.
