As long as I'm here...

Sonic

I like the Sonic commercials with the two guys in their car
eating and talking and talking and eating. There is generally some good
back and forth and forth and back going on .


Safe Auto Insurance

I hate the Safe Auto commercials. They have a few different campaigns,
and I hate all of them. The ones with the people
walking around a cubicle-filled office where people tell 'us' what a
caller just told them...and, how Safe Auto was there to save the day
for them. Stuff like "She doesn't get paid until next week. I told her we'd hold the check!"
Then, there is the goofy guy with the bow-tie and windshield-size glasses who does all
the slap-sticky things...like "When you want the minimum coverage..." and, he's wearing
nothing but a sandwich-board. And, all the ads with people
singing, in various scenarios, the Safe Auto jingle "1-800-SAFE
AUTO"... anyway...I hate 'em.


State Farm

Since we're talking insurance....How about State Farm. You know
when they have people tell us 'real stories' about how great State Farm
is? Like the one where a coach's car is broken into and all the kid's
uniforms are stolen. The State Farm agent ends up coaching the team. My ASS!! Or, the brother who was an insurance agent who didn't
take as good of care of his brother as State Farm took of him? Ask a few million people in Mississippi and Louisiana what they
think of State Farm. Good neighbors?


Nextel (and, some other company they joined with)

How's that for someone who pays attention to commercials?
Anyway, the Nextel commercial I like has the two gunfighters in an
old-tyme tavern and they're facing off. Only, the one guy, who is
representing Nextel (and, this other company), is faster than the
other. He (the Nextel guy) keeps slappin' the other fellow before the
other fellow (who, apparently is representing another, slower cell
phone company) even moves. I mostly like the sound effects.


Rembrandt.com/ ???

I'd never heard of this 'company' until I just saw their
commercial. I don't know what they sell...but, it must have something
to do with the mouth. I'm pretty sure I'll never go to
Rembrandt.com simply because their commercial makes me ill...a close-up
of two folx 'swapping spit' isn't enough to lure me to find out about
taking care of my mouth.


Hardees

Haven't mentioned Hardees lately. I hate them as much now as I
ever did. You?

Yes, I hate Hardees, too. I get diarrhea. I enjoy diarrhea, usually, but not when it's caused by fast foods.

Felix: Ol' buddy, what got you going on the commerical kick?
