Just saw one of the dumbest commercials ever.  Three people at a der Wienerschnitzel counter ordering hot dogs.  As they order, they're in such a stage of delight, their (pony) tails are wagging.  The whole thing is awkward.

I don't know if Popeye's chicken is a national brand so maybe this is not played everywhere but one that drives me nuts is one from that company.  People are reacting to the chicken sandwich.  One lady is in a car with her eyes closed and with her mouth full, says "I'm experiencing some things right now."   I miss the normal commercials.  Oh who am I kidding.  I hate commercials, but especially the strange ones.

The commercials that I think are the stupidest are the Progressive Motar commercials.  Just.plain.stupid!

In 1977, der Wienerschnitzel dropped the "der" from their name. I can't believe how long ago that was.

 

The commercial is stupid up to the very last line where the guy says "What's happening?".

Is that the commercial with all those people on motorcycles that are missing their lower half ?   I don't get that.

The Motaur commercials are awful...especially the motaurs in the wild. And how about those Geico commercials with Cynthia who cuts down mail boxes and hanging plants...and the Geico "we have rats" (the rock band) in the basement. I change the channel every time. And if I hear the "nothing is everything" psoriasis commercial again I'll probably throw something! Haha - just kidding. Some of these companies need to hire some new ad agencies!

Add this to your list.  Burger King's latest commercial with their latest innovation:  beef from decidedly less-gassy cows. This new Whopper’s official name is the Whopper with Reduced Methane Emissions Beef.
