Nic...
This advertisement cracks me up every time I see it, as it is exactly a parody of the scene in the movie Flashdance....
Don't know if it would make me buy beer though!

I hate the Pepto commercials with the dancing. Do we need a Pepto Bismol line dance? Really now.
Those Geico cavemen can go back to the Stone Age any time now and I'll be happy. I hear they may be getting their own show,lucky us.

That big piece of mucus (Mr. Mucus) in the Mucinex commercial gets on my nerves.

In my country (Serbia) almost every commercial is very stupid and annoying. I mean I'm not commercial hater I just can't stand this any more. The usuall commercial starts with product in the main plan and with some stupid music in the background and it ends with some happy moron using that product. Very unprofessional and stupid.

Does anyone here remember the old PG tips chimpanzee commercials from the 70s? Real chimps dressed in clothes advertising tea. British of course. One in particular stands out in my mind Dad and son chimp have a job moving a piano down some stairs. The hostess (a chimpess) arrives with apron, tea service etc.. 'light refreshment mr Shifter?!' They forget the piano and go get their tea while the piano falls down the stairs. 'one way of shiftin' it' says dad chimp. After a nice tea break son pipes up 'dad? do you know the piano's on my foot?' dad (starting to plonk): 'you hum it son, I'll play it'

Surely you're not saying the PG Tips tea commercials were stupid? They were classics.  I know that nowadays dressing chimps as humans and using them in commercials wouldn't be acceptable, but it was at the time.

I knew someone would say that:) Actually I just wanted an excuse to describe that commercial because it amused me:) I'd say they WERE very silly, but not in a negative way, if that makes any sense.

The Geico caveman commercials are pretty annoying! And I hear they are making a television sitcom based on the Geico cavemen due out in the fall. I tell ya, they must be getting desperate for sitcom ideas if they have to start basing the shows on commercials!

The Geico caveman one is pretty obnoxious. I like the ones with the lizard.

Saw these ads some years ago here in the UK. The Tampon advert where the girl, once equipped with her Tampon, leapt tall buildings with legs frighteningly astride. No - thank you!

My favorite for the stupidest commercial goes to those erectile dysfunction commercials with the 2 people sitting in separate bathtubs holding hands staring at the lake.Ewww! I really don't care to hear about their problems and the other one where they talk about having Herpes.

The worst of all time have to be those Mentos commercials from a few years back.
But the vast increase in Viagra-like commercials is kind of funny. I just need to be clear on some things... Janet Jackson - abysmal, erectile dysfunction commercials A-OK. You gotta love this country.

How about the recent Nationwide Insurance TV spot where a guy is driving his girl about, then her long scarf flies in his face and they nearly crack up in a vineyard? Yeah, right, that's gonna encourage careful driving, guys! And don't the guys who made the ad remember how Isadora Duncan died?

The worst commercial ever that I could not even watch is the one where they always had a hand in the othe person's pocket. I don't know the name of it but I used to hear in the song " Hand in My Pocket".
