Yep, that's pretty awful - too self-conscious, and that Chaka Khan taxicab driver cap is just too cute.

OTOH, I love the one set to "Commotion".

[CounterCounterCulture]

I personally don't mind the Dude You Got a Dell guy, especially after finding out the actors' union lashed out at him because he broke the strike.

THE WORST OFF THE TOP O' MY HEAD...
1) ASK LESKO! (see pic at #61)
2) Anything Tom Green
3) tie) Carrot Top pitching phone services (and his predecessor David Arquette)
4) Greyhound Bus greyhound
5) California save energy PSAs
6) Anything Old Navy
7) Teri Hatcher (who'da thunk she could be so annoying?)
8) AT&T Broadband commercials

THE BEST...

I always liked the Little Caesar commercials. They were very funny, especially the ones from the early- to mid-90s.

[Richard Kimball]

Dude, I'm gettin your daughter on this couch.

[Wondervixen]

I'd have to choose that fat mouthy dyke that does the Nickleodeon commercials...What's her name? Petunia Pig? No...ROSIE! THATS IT!

[CounterCounterCulture]

Pizza Pizza!

Also loved those old wacky Wendy's, Alaska Airlines, and FexEx commercials.

[Calvin Locke]

I'm mostly a radio person, so...

*ANY* host doing gold commercials. Come to think of it, HGH commercials too.

George Noory doing the Art Bell newsletter.

Hi, I'm Vicky...

I'd love for her to whack her mom for interupting her "via fair market values" line

GEE, THANKS, MOOOOOM. JUST, LIKE, TOTALLY EMBARRASS ME ALL OVER THE AIRWAVES FOR MUCKING UP A SIMPLE WORD!

[null and void]

How about the ancient "I can't believe I ate the whoooole thing..." with the retakes. Still cracks me up on the retromercials!

Mama mia! That's a spicy meat bowl!

[CounterCounterCulture]

"Mom, do you ever have that not-so-fresh feeling?"

or the more direct...

"Mom, do you douche?"

[Sandy]

Why would Dell use such a geek? My next computer wont be a Dell, just because of that geek...

[H]e's helped Dell Computer Corp. generate some serious cash since the ads started running on television a year ago . . . While personal computer sales were down 31 percent during the first three quarters of last year, Dell's market share went up 16.5 percent -- more than double the previous year, according to The Wall Street Journal. Steven has now reached cult status . . .

CARROTTOP

Can he please shut the hell up?

[Rainbow Rising]

I forgot about Jason Alexander! I hate those KFC commercials. He is unbelievably smarmy in them. My mom hates those commercials so much that she will actually cover her eyes until they're over.

[bootless]

Yeah, and her "Right, Mom" (unspoken addition: "Bite me!")

The worst Give Us Your Car commercial is the Cancer Association (or whatever) spot, where the woman has this strident, clipped delivery, and she marble-mouths "fair market varue." "CALL! 1-800-blah blah blah."

You know the one I mean? I just want to duct-tape her to the wall or something.

[Bernard Marx]

Bill Mayes from OxiClean

Without question! His voice makes me run for the remote to hit the mute button.

[Bernard Marx]

Carls Junior is one of the nastiest, commercials on the planet

I will never buy from them again just on the basis of their gross-out commercials. IF that's the kind of customers they're after, welcome to it.

[Libertina]

"Hi, Im Marriet Hartley and almost everyday now people have been asking me about how they can get better vision....so call
9984464
9984464
that's 9984464
9984464
9984464
SLAP!

[MistrX]

That guy with all of the question marks on his suit.

[bootless]

The smarmy Mo-ron I'm listening to now: two California Energy Conservation PSAs in a ROW! This is the smirky guy who says, "You left the den light on - REMEMBER?!" Twinky.

[Mr. Burns]

She's been gone for a few years, but that woman who used to pitch Snapple was annoying as hell.
