Enough with Anthony Anderson and Melissa Joan Hart telling me why I should do my Christmas shopping at Wal-Mart...

The new ad for the Chevy Colorado truck, which implies that if you don't own a truck, you're not a real man.

Don't all pickup truck ads imply this to one degree or another?

I liked the commercial. It did exactly what it was supposed to do: sell the image.

Imagine a guy all tatted up, beard, snarky shirt driving a Prius. What image do you have?
Same guy, but owns a full-sized beast of a pickup? Does your thought process change?

I may or may not agree on the exact image, but the point is made.

Colorados aren't even real trucks. They're city-people trucks.

I would say that I think it's time for FCA (or, as my dad calls it, "F'in Chrysler, America!" ) to retire the "Imported from Detroit" nonsense, but I see their sales are up almost 6% in the first quarter. So maybe these obnoxious ads with the foreign-accented actors are actually working for them.

I think it started as "Imported from Detroit," but then was changed to America after they realized that Detroit doesn't even carry the swagger of Gary, IN.

I know this is titled "Annoying Commercials" but one of my favorite current commercials is the United Healthcare commercial when the couple tries to do the Dirty Dancing lift.

Reviving the thread to say that my current faves are the Duluth Trading spots.

On the new Red Lobster commercial I keep hearing, "Crap like no one is watching" instead of crack for their crab fest. Though I feel they're interchangeable when Red Lobster is the subject.

Anything to do with "start seeing motorcycles" or being safe around bicyclists. When people on motorcycles and bicycles are the most unsafe dinguses on the road.
