I just saw the Ace Hardware ad with the montage of various inept homeowners with a voiceover saying "I cannot [do this home improvement activity]...." One moment shows a guy lying on the ground while paint spills around him, then pulls back to show that he fell off the ladder while trying to paint his house, while the voiceover goes, "I cannot paint." I like it!

I've never been much of a Patricia Heaton fan--or a fan of Everybody Loves Raymond--but after seeing her irritating commercials for Jewel supermarkets, I never want to see her again. Doris Roberts from that show makes my skin crawl, and now Patricia Heaton turns out to be just as bad.

That commercial for the Chevy Colorado truck had me rofl! I'm talking about the one with the five guys in the truck and the one singing (with feeling) Shania's "I feel like a woman". The looks on the other guys' faces are priceless!!

I hate to admit this, but I really like the truck commericial (I think it's Chevy). The guys are all piled into the front and back seats and the guy in the middle back is singing along to Shania Twain's "I Feel Like a Woman" song. He's really into it and the other guys are kind of scooching toward the doors and giving each other looks. I don't want to think it is funny, but I laugh every time.

Ok,I just saw a new Hallmark commercial. The same woman who buys all the cards and keeps them in a file box. This time she hears someone mention they just bought a new car. And Voila,she pulls out a card that says something like congratulations on your new car! What the HELL is that????? I have never even thought about buying a greeting card for someone who just purchased a vehicle! dumb,dumb,dumb

I'm hating the newest apparent push by KFC to change that the initials stand for "kitchen fresh chicken." Its almost sacrilegious to change the name of such a well known institution. Not only that, but the one commercial where the African American couple go back and forth with each other, the man saying "chicken strips" and the woman insisting "kitchen strips." Then the announcer goes on about "prepared in the kitchen." Ummm....maybe I'm just ignorant, but isn't that where it's always been prepared? Or are they trying to tell me that up until now it was prepared in the bathroom?

Argh!! This song is making me crazy ... it's from the Pepto Bismol commercial, "Nausea, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diarrea" ... and they do a dance like the macarena while they sing this!

I love Viva paper towels, but this deal with the kid, shaking up the bottle of orange soda has to go. I know my mom would have laughed it off, turned the veggie hose on me and then cleaned up the mess herself with one paper towel. Not.

Anybody else see the one where a woman is putting a piece of paper on a telephone pole & some doofus starts reaching through her shirt? She turns around and maces him,which btw he deserves. I have some questions. What was on the sheet of paper? How could that guy stand up WITHOUT A FRICKIN BRAIN?

Kl, I've seen that one... she is posting a sign for a missing gerbil or hamster, one of those, it says "Reward!". The guy behind her sees the gerbil/hamster/spongemonkey/whatever, crawling around in her shirt and tries to grab it without her noticing. The commercial says something like "some people will do anything for a reward", I don't know what it's for though.

This is probably a regional commercial, New England area. It has Curt Schilling in a Red Sox locker room, wearing headphones, learning to speak like a New Englander..."drive the cah to tha pahhhk" while he eats food from Dunkin' Donuts. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

Has anyone seen the animated cartoon for United that is done like a silent movie? I think there are a couple of them, but the most memoralbe has a guy who is goint to a job interview wearing one brown and one black shoe. He has this suprpized look on his face and he goes to the interview, where he untimately gets the job, I guess, and gets to fly United, which makes him very happy. I haven't described it well, but I like that it is animated in a different way and that it conveys its message so well without words.

The commercial with the maids and butlers from TV shows. Alice, from the Brady Bunch, then Benson, then Rosario, then Florence from the Jeffersons. But for the life of me I can't remember who the guy is next to her or what show he is from. Anyone know? Its driving me crazy and that's a very short trip!
