"Quit your jibber jabber"  ;) I like the welcome return of Mr-T in the Snickers ads also like the Mini-T in the 118 ads.

i dig those toyota ads where one friend sabotages another because, two hours earlier, the second friend put his feet up on the dash of the car! just take a look at the driver's face when the guy's feet hit the dash--too funny.  :)

and as far as "auto glass repair, auto glass replace" goes, whoever wrote that jingle deserves a frying pan to the bollocks, because everytime it's on the radio it gets stuck in DH's head, and then i get to hear it all day long!  ::)

Okay, so I may be the only one, but I absolutely LOVE the uswitch commercials with the blue satin choir bursting out of people's closets.  There's just something about that James Brown/Little Richard inspired dude saying "YOOOUUUUU....gotta SWITCH!" that cracks me up every. single. time.

 ;D

Clover butter where the guy actually starts crying over his buttered bread (because it's so good?). Using emotional blackmail to get you to buy butter is just not on. lol

I can't stand the diet coke break one ..where the three women press the alarm in the lift and a guy comes down from the ceiling ::)


I can't stand the virgin credit card one where the 3 guys are in the lift and one of them pretends to be listening to music.

But never fear, gentlemen; castration was really not the point of feminism, and we women are too busy eviscerating one another to take you on.

For some reason I always have to repeat after Churchill "Oh Yessshhhh!"...it's a disease and I'm not really sure if I love it or hate it  :o ;D

I KNEW I wasn't the only one!

I love it so much that I found myself on the phone the other night with my sister, describing the whole scenario - even going so far as to sing "YOOOOOOOUUUUU...gotta SWITCH!" to her.  She was dying laughing.  I think part of why I love it so much is that the very first time I saw it, I just KNEW that my sister would think it was as funny as I did, and now when I see it, it reminds me of her. :D  Even though she's never actually seen it.  ;D

As far as hated adverts go...there are a LOT of annoying insurance adverts out of there.  Especially CHURCHILL. I HATE that dog.  Also the Diamond car insurance one, and the "Sheila's Wheels" jingle.  Ergh.  I do, however, like the little medieval guy from the Hastings commercials...."oh-eight-hundred, double-oh, ten-sixty-six!"

(I watch too much telly.   :-[)

Not me, but Josh LOVES that advert.  OMG, he perks up and you can't get him to look away.

He is like that for Sheila's wheels too.
