I thought I was the only person on the planet who could hate that damn blueberry pancakes commercial. I run screaming from the room every time I hear it. I hate it. ---

I don’t know if she is stupid…but the way the chick in the Bisquick commercial is singing that pancake song as if she is protesting the Vietnam war makes me think she probably isn’t a genius. > > Could she sing that silly jingle with any more angst and breathless anxiety? All those notes and folksy vocal quirks over some blueberry pancakes? She actually says “blueberry paaa-hAAAnn-heh-caaakes-heh”. Also thanks for writing this, I laughed out loud at work, as I agree wholeheartedly. Whining about pancakes makes me IRATE. ---

Can’t believe my least favorite has yet to garner mention The Burger King faux flute player ad series I throw things at the TV it’s so bad ---

Dude, the narrator is Patrick Stewart. He’s what makes those commercials worth not muting. ---

I simply do not understand these people that can’t get past 2:30pm in their work day without needing a nap. “Ever get that 2:30 feeling?” Uh…no? Who needs a nap at 2:30? What are they - two? The entire office is affected - everyone from the boss to the secretary to the mail room guy stumbles around like post-lobotomy patients. I recall watching a show on Discovery or Science or Nnaitonal geographic basically about the science of sleep and there is actually scientific evidence to support a 2 o’clock ish feeling of being rundown and tired that is simply part of our internal clock. There is also evidence that teen-agers need more sleep. Anyway the stupid person I hate is the guy in the Taco Bell commercial who thinks he needs to ask for a special cashier to get the “sepcial” $2 deal or whatever it was. ---

The series of Miller Lite “Man up” commercials. They always start the same way: guy: Can I get a light beer? bartender: Sure, do you care how it tastes? guy: No, not really. Being easy going is one thing, but the guys in these commercials are too stupid to care about even the most basic quality of a product. “Do you care how well this vacuum cleaner works?” “No, not really” “Do you care how this box of spaghetti contains tetanus and rusty nails?” “Not particularly” “Do you care how I have threesomes with your wife and 15 year old daughter when I’m over working on your air conditioning?” “Nope” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-is-the-stupidest-person-in-a-commercial/555298.md?page=5)
