Oh god, me too! The other day, I started singing, "Pete Ellis Dodge! Long beach freeway, Firestone exit, Soooooouthgate!!". DH just looked at me like I had mice crawling out of my ears LOL

I can't stand the Gordon Ramsey gin advert.  I think they were going for the wet t-shirt thing, but decided to use...Gordon Ramsey?  It might be trying to be ironic, but GR sure looks very into it.

I used to like the guy.  I've sort of gone from that to apathy to active dislike in the past three years.

Using Ramsey is the whole point - it's an advert for Gordons Gin

Yes.  I got that. ;)  The wet t-shirt bit, not so much.

ETA: the whole irony of having an ugly guy doing wet t-shirt would have been better if it was used with someone who wasn't so full of himself.

I was kind of amused to see what "music" they used to torture the prisoners at Gitmo. Amongst other things, they droned the jingle for "Meow Mix" at them constantly. You know: the "meow meow meow meow ..." one  ;D

The Subway commercial with the guy leading the exercise class under hypnosis. It makes me chuckle every time!

Thank God the political ads are over now. If I had to look one more time at Brown (not Gordon) and his stupid truck I would scream! It's a black day for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. (And probably the country)

The Always Simply Fit commercial with the bucking bronco. I find it so ridiculous and funny that I even made DH stop and watch it! Ha!

Like the "You don't just pour a Guinnness, you bring it to life" advert

The "Go Compare' adverts are annoying the piss outta me

We have an ad running now in the US and it must be a good one because they show these dogs on a close up and they are all have human type dentures. Quite funny. Funny I don't know what they are advertising. ???

I saw a magazine ad like that: dog with dentures. And it was for some kind of dental chewies for dogs. But don't think I've seen it on TV. But I never remember what the TV commercials are selling. Except there was one for Hair Cuttery (cheapo salons) that I thought was for sex aids.  ;D

I just saw the Muller's Corner one with the cow who wants to be a horse.  Cute.
