worst Commercial on TV
Westwood College Online....
"We're just testing level 3 and I just need to tighten the graphics up a little." "I can't believe we get paid to do this!" AWFUL!! I wouldnt go there strictly based on the commercial.

McDonald's. McDonald's. McDonald's. Such horrid commercials from such a gigantic corporation. I don't know if they anger me more because I'm a future copywriter or what, but I just can't fucking stand them.

Speaking of commercials, can someone identify the jingle for the new GM radio commercials? It ends with the two lines:
Tell me where you are, and I will jump into my car I'm wondering if this is just something written for them or if it's part of another song. It sounds terribly familiar, but I may be wrong.

In my opinion Axe body spray has some of the best advertising currently, both TV and print.

Worst commercial period is the radio spot for Project Calc.
"NOW who's being exact?"

yes!!! The Fantanas suck!! I hate when foreign countries try to dump their commercials off over here without doing any market testing. Like the Mentosssss guy was any good?! The Chewbacca ringtone with the guy who says, "I love it!! now make me hate it!!" I do!!

I agree that Westwood College Online commercial is pretty awful.
But for me, the one that takes the cake as "worst commercial" is the Starburst one where the guy makes a sculpture of his girlfriend using Starburst and proceeds to eat it as he's describing it to her. It is just way too creepy all around.. /tk

"Watch out! Boss is coming in."
"Dude..." Yes, the Westwood college online commercial definitely sucks. It's funny to watch their hands as they're trying to "tighten up the graphics on level three". It's like they've never held a game controller in their lives. |

OK, so far, the only words I've recognized in this entire thread are "Fantanas" and "Starburst." Clearly, I don't watch enough television. What are you folks watching when you see these commercials? I have no idea what you're all talking about, although I'd like to.

I watch Cartoon Network and Comedy Central and ESPN almost exclusively. Every now and then NBC or TBS gets thrown into the mix...
I've seen all of the ones mentioned except the frog/dragon rintone one (I think it's a Brit thing). Then again, I've been unemployed for 5 full months now so I get to watch a LOT of tv... /tk

You're lucky it's a Brit thing - trust me!
If you do have a masochistic tendency... Crazy Frog: hxxp://www.fetchfido.co.uk/games/crazy-frog/axel-f.htm Nessie the (fucking) Dragon: hxxp://www.jamster.co.uk/jiw/go?search=Nessie%20Dragon&zanpid=1998506C1658528511# - click on the 'Dragon Love' wav (?) file Every five minutes we get to hear this infuriating crap on TV. I swear if I ever hear either of these things on anybody's phone in public I'll be on international news following a merciless killing spree...
