Agree with the Toyota commercials - vehemently disagree with the Volkswagen commercials. Saying Brooke Shields is annoying is like punching your mother in the ovaries...
Actually, this is what I meant in my No. 3 worst commercial. I guess I haven't watched the commercial enough to know what it is they are actually saying. I thought they were saying "Saved by the O."
Saved by 0 is my enemy! I had to hear it all day while watching pro football yesterday.
I don't know if anyone's lived around the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area because I think it's local, but there was this commerical for "Boubin" mufflers or autoparts or something and it showed this cartoon hick grizzly bear with massive plumber butt wiggling to pull up his pants. Then he'd turn around and say "That's the bare facts, folks." Wanted to make me turn arsonist every time I saw it.

That's the funniest thing I have heard all day. I wish I had pop(soda for some) in my mouth so I could have spit it out on my keyboard.

BK's shroom and swiss ad for sure. Makes me want to punch those guys in the face.
Also, any Hardees commercial. Newflash to Hardees, listening to someone eat is not appetizing.

Agree on the Subway $5 foot long. Also, the Volkswagon commercials with Brooke Shields are starting to annoy me.
The problem is, it's now in my head from reading this thread! It blocks out any other thought. It's a parasite.
Hardee's is hands down the dumbest fast-food chain. They have the best burgers (IMO), but they have almost no locations (1 in Omaha, 1 in DSM), the ones they do have are a health inspector's dream come true, and their advertising sucks. If that company makes any money, it's by sheer dumb luck.
The saved by zero are moderately annoying, the Lite commercials had promise but are mostly stupid, cavemen, still vauguley interesting although I have no idea how he missed the Geico signs all over while playing tennis, or why he thought he was winning when he wasnt 
I wish the free credit report guy would catch a rare disorder and explode, Billy Mays is awesome although I dont think I would ever buy anything he sells, I like the chic with the tricked out nametag, the BK song is really gay, love the monopoly Dwight Howard Spot, love the subway song, love the sam adams commercials - they just make me want to be a brewer at that place! As for peter and his coffee, my guess is he will be back this year. I think they were still using that one a time or two just last year. Nothing like a 25 year old commercial to save some cash!

The Brooke Shields/VW commercials are among the worst of all time, and I grew up watching the "Tidy Bowl Man" commercials during original episodes of Gilligan's Island. Says a lot. I would have killed for a remote in those days - unfortunately, there wasn't such a thing...
And whichever company it is that hires "professional actors" to explain insurance claim experiences??? AWFUL. I can't remember who it is because I change channels.

There's two Hardee's in Des Moines (one around 86th & University, the other by the zoo). I know because my wife loves Hardee's and we have to stop every time we happen to be near one for lunch (which isn't often).
I just showed my wife this ad and she teared up! That is a priceless holiday ad...I love it!
