I thought the other woman kidnapped the unruly kids from the gas pumping woman. But that didn't seem to help sell.... what are they selling? Cars? Insurance?

I actually know this one, because that commercial drives me crazy. It's for Volkswagen, the idea being that if you buy a Volkswagen, you don't have to stop for gas and your children don't trash gas stations. Which makes me swear to never, ever buy a Volkswagen.

That's such a dumb idea. And every time I see it I'm reminded how glad I am not to have kids. Then I feel sorry for the store clerks who have to clean up after those jerks.

I had the sound off because I was talking to a friend on the phone, so I'm not sure, but I think I just saw an ad for Chobani yogurt that featured a lesbian couple.

There is a commercial for (I think, a car of some sort?) that is driving me absolutely crazy right now. It's a family driving somewhere and they start spontaneously singing Weezer's Buddy Holly song. So saccharine and irritating. And since I'm binge watching old Survivor seasons on cbs.com, it plays at EVERY SINGLE commercial break. Gah!!

How some commercials could possibly be approved baffles me.
There's a commercial for Juicy Fruit gum where two guys are in the locker room of a fancy health club, post-game and post-shower (we open on one of them practically pouring half a bottle of cologne on himself). They start talking about the game they just finished when one of them offers a piece of Juicy Fruit to the other. They both pop a piece of gum (the kind where the flavor will disappear after about five minutes), make orgasm faces, then they continue their conversation through armpit farts.

Okay, I love the Coneheads shilling for State Farm.

Okay, I love the Coneheads shilling for State Farm. "DESCRIBE YOUR APPAREL, JAKE FROM STATE FARM!" The Coneheads will never not be funny to me. Whenever I see them, I'm 12 again.

I hated the song when it first came out, now I don't want to be subjected to the Family Ensemble trying to sing it. UGH! Also, someone needs to shove Flo from Progressive down a manhole or something. She's really effing annoying, especially the radio ads where she's trying to do bad impersonations of drill sergeants and what not. Hate. Her.

My dad and I hate the Buick commercial where the woman is looking for her friend and the friend says she's in the Buick. Woman can't find her because none of the cars looks like a "Buick". Just look at the front grill of the car, lady!
