gotta give him a break mitzah; the guys an ex-cop alcoholic who tours (and apparently makes commercials) when the sauce fund runs low. He did have a good run though in the mid 80′s. I’m surprised he’s still alive and functioning.

Pretty damn funny article, and I couldn’t agree with you more. But you forgot all the Viagra and Cialis commercials. Seriously, are the only guys that watch the playoffs all suffering from erectile dysfunction? God I hate those commercials.

That explains why Craig’s been so grumpy.

I just mute all the commercials between August and November in election years. I don’t like being lied to…

She’s also in the mail order contact lense commercial… “look, look with your special eyes”

The wife who steps out of the shower with the towel already wrapped around her, and the hubby is brushing his teeth…she’s the wife of Jack, from Jack in the Box. I love spotting her in other commercials.
And I, too, mute ALL of the commercials. Except the E-Trade baby and The Most Interesting Man In The World, we love those.

It’s sad that my company still has tools that use OS 2 Warp. Hell we still have DOS 6.22. Anyway SoCo commercials are my favorite at the moment. Dude makes me laugh.

Does he make you want to drop your towel? She has my sympathy.

To be fair to the asshole husband not seeing his wife naked, she does get out of a fresh shower FULLY COVERED by a towel, with a backup towel on the shower door.

He must have been really high, because he can’t seem to sing anything these days.

I don’t think there’s a single one that’s “Best”, many divergent opinions in the homeland. But any of: Santa Teresa 1976, Diplomatico Reserva or Cacique Añejo

The wife in the direct tv commercial should be banging her husband a little more often. Perhaps he wouldn’t be as argumentative then.

I find the Andre Dawson commercial to be exploitive, as if their implying the Hawk was in a drunk/drugged stupor for many years.

Best commercial right now is the car commercial (haha, forgot which brand). That “beeps” as he is about to go too far (cologne, poker, kissing). Great facial expressions.

I’m sick of the Geico commercials with the 2 dorks with the guitars.

Any particular spiced rum or ginger beer that you recommend, kiwi?

No, she is even more annoying than the Shake-N-Bake girl.

When the announcers are like WTF after they read the plug about “the show with the terrible name” you wonder how clever those advertisers think they are.

Yeah, there’s 83 fucking comments on a post about commercials.

Nope FC…Where I live, I have to special order everything. Just tell me which one is best and I’ll give it a shot. I can get it here for the World Series.
@cur…Yeah, if you aren’t working you probably will get hammered again, but “jeez” it’s your own fault. You could stick to cookies?

As I noted above, the Mute button is even more essential if you happen to live in one of those dozen (or fewer) states inundated by presidential campaign commercials. As a resident of one of those states, Craig is likely experiencing this.

Alas, being in a Battleground State, we Virginians have to suffer endless political commercials, between the Obama, Romney, Kaine, and Allen ads. Thus, the essential nature of the Mute button.

I’ve read both pages of comments. Nobody else hates the Cougar Town commercials?

All this talk of Rum and NOT A SINGLE BRAND from Venezuela? Diplomatico? Santa Teresa? Cacique? None of those ring a bell?
