I really dislike the latest University of Phoenix ad with their version of "If I Only Had a Brain," which has been airing a lot lately. I'm not a fan of those diploma mills, anyway, and some of their questionable practices, especially the way they treated our honorable military veterans (just do an internet search if you haven't heard about it).

Yes, & that singer's voice is awful!!!!

I want to add one I love. It is for Subaru. The dogs which are driving the cars. I especially love the one where the dog is driving his "baby" around to get him to sleep. He finally succeeds but the minute he pulls in the driveway and opens the car door, the"baby" wakes up and begins "crying", so he backs up and off he goes again! Also, the one is cute where the husband dog is looking at a cute dog in passing and the wife dog gives him what for!! LOL!!

Another one that is adorable -- although I can't remember what it's for is the dad who supposedly lets the little boy take over the car driving and the little boy reacts to various irritating situations the way an average adult might. Then, in the end he goes, something like, you know what, dad, I'm good! And then he drives off in his little toy car!!!

More real losers for me are a couple of the Yoplait commercials - the family sitting arond saying MMMMMMM. No words. Just MMMMMMM.

And the other is the young woman standing on the ground watching someone getting ready to pull a peach and saying, "Wait, wait, PULL THAT PEACH"! I always change the channel when it begins.

All of the bathroom products gross me out. I'm waiting for a live demonstration on how to use them.

I disllike all of the toilet paper ads - "enjoy the go" "go commando." And the ED ads- I feel so sorry for people watching tv with children when this stuff comes on!

For some reason I love the commercial with the young man who says "I'm never getting married" then we see him happily getting married. Next he says "We're never ever having children" but in the next shot he's happy with his wife and baby. Same with "never moving to the suburbs" and "never having more children." It has a ring of truth, and it's sort of sweet watching the young guy mature. I think it's a car commercial?

Like most everyone here, I love the Subaru ads with the dogs. The current bucket list with the older dog, and an older one with the Golden family in the car and the "father" is oogling a white standard poodle, while the "mother" gives him a disapproving glance.

I also can't stand the University of Phoenix commercial. Have to mute it every time. Also, Walmart commercial for phone plan, with the biracial family. Sounds like ,"hey. It's Gay. And Babe" and "we could do this all day." Her voice just grates. Also can't stand the Trivago guy.
