Seems like them SUV commercials rank as the worst of all time...
There was a Jeep Liberty ad I saw last night...where it caressingly drives up the Statue of Liberty's skirt and all the way up to the top. There was a song with it but I forgot what it was...I was getting nauseous at he time.
Another thing...SUV's, much less any vehicle as far as I know...CANNOT DRIVE UP WALLS, STATUES OR THE SUN!
I find the Jeep tie-in with Band of Brothers pretty funny.

Ya, the funniest thing is that the commercial is about how Jeep helped the the Americans in WWII but now adays Jeep is owned by a German company </strong><hr></blockquote>
Don't get me started on that supposed "merger of equals." It was more like a hostile takeover. Just as Chrysler comes alive and makes good cars again, they go sell themselves.
I'd say the worst ad ever is a tie among all those local car ads where the announcer is dressed in a funny outfit, screaming at the top of his lungs, or they make their car out to be this AMAZING thing when it's just a car.
Yeah, I really want to buy a car from someone who screams at me the whole time.
Runners up: Personal injury lawyer commercials ("If you've been injured, you're going to need a lawyer."), or debt consolidation companies ("You've been so irresponsible with money, you get to sell your soul to us now.")

Car ads are especially funny. Because they're all the same car.
You have all these ads for all these 'different' brands of car. They market them based on the music playing in the background. Techno. Jazz. Lame alternative. Rock. Classical.
Lifestyle is the only way these companies can differentiate their products, because they're all the same product.

japanese make very different cars than americans--japanese make smaller, more efficient cars w/ smaller engines and are more reliable. americans make bigger, noisier, much less efficient cars w/ huge engines that are more prone to break down. but theyre cheaper.
european cars are kind of the middle ground, and more expensive cause they are higher quality usually--moreso the german brands.
so please please never NEVER compare a freakin KIA (or hyundai) to a TOYOTA again--damn, those are probably the worst commercials...
it dont matter what the price is...yer still buying a freakin kia, for the love of God...
sry fer the rant, but please dont turn this into a car thread, cause not all cars are the same...
Dont remember where I heard it, but supposedly some European car company is designing a straight out desil car (no fuel cells or anything) that gets 1000 miles on a gallon of desil.

THAT is efficient.
Now if only we could get fuel cells in cars...</strong><hr></blockquote>
wow, thats impressive
damn efficient--kiks the crap outta the hybrids
but they need it alot more over there, w/ the feul prices being so high...
prolly BMW...i wouldnt count on mercedes to be that innovative in that regard...
Oh stop it...if Apple actually got off their ass and released an OS X commercials where people were flying around and so forth, you guys would be creaming your jeans and straining your noggins trying to come up with all the kudos and superlatives you could fling its way.
"Man, that Apple commercial kicks ASS! People all flying around and shit..."
Hands down winner would have to be Phillip Morris for it's duplicitous "anti" teen smoking ads. Every single one of them has the sub-textual message that "only adults smoke and your just a woosy little mama's boy who doesn't have the balls to disobey his parents". You might as well do an add that shows teens who smoke getting laid more and then suggest that they might have to be worried about STDs if they smoke. That would do it!
The only successful anti-smoking campaign is the one where they show teens that they are being manipulated by adults (the tobacco companies). They hate that!

What are you talking about the Tiger Woods Buick commercials are great!
"Looks like we're not in Kansas anymore"
"Are you Tiger Woods?"
"No"
"What? You were expecting Igor? Ahahahaha!..."
The best commercials are almost every golf commercial.

The Tiger Woods commercials aren't bad but the tagline "It's All Good" is awful- some lame Detroit marketing type trying to sound cool. Pathetic.
G4Dude- do read AutoExtremist?
<strong>I think the line "The New Mayor of Truckville" is pretty lame.
</strong><hr></blockquote>
yeah, no joke dude
they were playing that damn piece of crap at every home football game here this season...
such a POS...
