OT: What company has the dumbest commercials?

JakeT. · Nov 23, 2007

I vote for either Wendy's or Taco Bell.

The Wendy's commercials that run lately are just annoying and Taco Bell should fire whoever they pay to come up with that BS. I don't ever recall seeing a Taco Bell commercial that was even remotely funny, even though they keep trying.

they seem to think every man with a truck is a flag waving hillbilly

"This is OURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR country" Chevy, not sure the dumbest, but the most annoying for sure.

2nd that

Geico's are offbeat and entertaining. You try making commercials for an insurer!

Every single Toyota commercial sucks. The Minivan ones with the obnoxious kids as well as the latest one where the video game character turns into a Tundra.

However, I love the Coors Light commercials with the former coaches. For some reason, I never get sick of them.

im not the biggest fan of ebays current commercials...especially since its the holidays and they are going all out...with the marketing budget they have they gotta have someone there who can come up with something better than shop victoriously....

I hate the Wendy's commercials with a passion. It all started one day when they had one with a bunch of people in the forrest kicking trees.

My favorite right now is the XBOX one with the little kids singing "Nothin' But a Good Time" by Poison.

Tie for first between those fucking stupid Charles Schwab "cartoon" commercials and the eternally stupid IBM "business" ads.

I hate pretty much any commercial that are for a financial service firm or foreign car companies. Also hate those stupid diamond commercials that come out of the woodwork like roaches this time of year.

Yes! Wow that song was horrid. I thought I was in ESPN hell that one season they had a recap of all of sunday's NFL action with a new rendition of that dumb song every week.

Never saw Dsethi as being so versatile...

that new ESPN commercial is great with Jim Kelly waiting on Venatieri to get all his rings out for metal detector.
ESPN has the best commercials.

Mgawd you are easily entertained. They send me into a panic to find the mute button.

How damn much profit is there in car insurance. These silly things come on all channels every few minutes.
