"Where do we go now...."

Toyota Tundra...

How could I have gone so long, made so many riveting posts, and not mentioned the commercials for Toyota Tundra? I think that just goes to show how flawed flogs can be. I LOVE the Toyota commercial with the meteor hitting the pick-up truck out in the desert and the truck just drives on. Very nice. I also like the one with the Loch Ness monster. I chuckle when the man says "Shoot it! Shoot it!" Chuckle, I say!

Two in one day...

Chevy

The commercial with a bunch of womens in an ugly little station-wagon-looking thing (An 'HHR'?) with a bunch of men, nearly naked, dancing around and rubbing on the car is plain old, flat out stupid. 'Stupid', I say.

"It's not delivery, baby!"

Dick Vitale...in general

Okay, Dick is probably a nice guy. Maybe not. What do I know. But, somebody needs to tell him we are tired of his DiGiorno commercials and are going to get tired of his new Hooters' commercial (which seems to be the same as the DiGiorno commercial, only it's for Hooters), too. So, don't stop pitchin'...just stop throwin' the same pitch.

Sierra Mist

First of all...I credited some other company (a job-finding website, I think) with the goatee comb-over ad during the Super Bowl. It was actually Sierra Mist. They've had some good commercials over the past few years, many with Jim Gaffigan. And, the comb-over/short cut-offs is about the best. Kudos to 'The Mist'. They've also used Kathy Griffin in a couple. And, those ads may be the only time I've ever seen Kathy Griffin and not wanted to punch her.

"What's in your attic?"

CapitolOne

Alright...ALRIGHT!! The plunderers and pillagers were funny the first couple of times. And, I kinda sorta liked the recent ones where they've gotten 'real' jobs. But, for the most part, they need to follow the AFLAC duck to the basement at TIAA-Cref and none of them ever be seen or heard again. The whole "What's in your wallet?" thing can go away now.

SUV commercials in general...

Why do automakers think that if they show us how much nature an SUV can tear up we'll want to buy one? With few exceptions, SUV commercials show people going places you shouldn't be able to drive to, and that are essentially ruined if you do, in vehicles that seem to never get dirty. There always seems to be rocks and dirt flying from beneath tires as these destroyers of earth go flying by on their way to a place that was much prettier before the yuppies arrived to take a snapshot photograph through the window.

Hardees sux!!
