A. The Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy...

B. Pier One's Kirstie Alley...

C. Dell's Steve...

I kinda liked the funky stream of consciousness William Shatner Priceline commercials... how 'bout you?

He would be more credible if we didn't know he never uses Priceline.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Not the best shot of Sela, but she is still lovely!

[F.J. Mitchell]

She may have been impaired-but she don't need no rocking chair.

[Darlin']

A. The Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy

[F.J. Mitchell]

Bad enough, but good, when compared to Erskine Bowels trying to sell himself.

Bob Vila, The hack that doesn't know which end of a screwdriver to use!

I remember reading where one of the houses featured on his show didn't have a buikding permit before they started remodeling

[TX Bluebonnet]

Kelly Ripa for the bottled water commercial

The government information or freebies guy w/ question marks all over his suit. Who is he? The governments version of The Riddler?

[Brytani]

If I have to listen to that Dell kid one more time, I fear I'll shoot my television.

[TotusTuus]

Anybody remember those old "Hey, you got chocolate in my peanutbutter!" commercials for Reese's.

Who exactly would bring a jar of peanutbutter to the movie theater?

[Rainbow Rising]

Carrot Top. No question about it. I'd like to take some sheep shears to that girly red mop of his.

Honorable mention to the Verizon "Can you hear me now?" guy.

Speaking of oxyclean, has anybody ever bought it? Does it work that well?

It did a good job on my venetian blinds. I filled the bathtub about 1/4 full and added an entire bucket, then plunked the blinds in there and let them soak for about an hour. They went from the dingy smoke color they were to the white they were when they were new.

I'll use the stuff again.

[Washington-Husky]

Write in candidates are welcome.

Okay, how about Jason Alexander doing those godawful Kentucky Fried Chicken commercials?? Anybody else find him the most annoying human being on the planet? Anybody? Bueller? Anoooooooying!!!

Best pitchman/ad I've seen in a long time: James Taylor doing that ad for his new album, "October Road". Anybody seen that ad? Great stuff! It's enough to melt your heart and put a smile on your face.

[Paul Atreides]

Have you seen the Kelly Ripa hair color commercial? In it she states "this is what people in my business talk about." As if Hollywood's image wasn't bad enough.

[Paul Atreides]

That was quite a fall, wasn't it; from Seinfeld to flogging popcorn chicken.

[Paul Atreides]

The Herbal Essence "Organic Experience" commercials.

[Cloud William]

Dell has a plant here in Tennessee, so I regard it as a statistical possibility that, while cruising down the road, I will spy Steve, the Dell guy, stepping off the curb, into the street. I will smile, and punch the gas...

Dude, I hope you have a V-8!

[Washington-Husky]

Yeah, and he's still got that same smarmy George Costanza persona.... I'd punch him out first before all the others, even more than Carrot Top or the Dell guy.

But I hope everybody gets to see that James Taylor commercial for his new album. Class. Pure class!

[TX Bluebonnet]

Thankfully, I don't think I've seen that one. I have to turn the channel when she talks about taaaaassttttee.

[nygoose]

It's on the cutting edge.
