The worst commercials in TV history..

The Verizon commercial with "Einstein" (looking like a bad impersonation of Tim Conway's old man character from The Carol Burnett Show) is another overplayed stinker.

State Farm: Since when would any self-respecting NFL head coach (the Chiefs' Andy Reid) paint mustaches on his players while they sleep on a plane? Especially his star QB (yet another mediocre performance from Pat Mahomes)? Just putrid. Almost makes me wish they'd bring back Aaron Rodgers. Almost. :ROFLMAO:
 
On top of which, you think the yokels had a clue about what "personal" meant in regards to the product. (Oh, that's right. It's for the LOLz.)
 
I may have skipped over it, but two of the greatest examples of miscasting were on commercials. John Wayne for Bufferin? Any John Wayne fan knows he would tough out a headache! And John Houseman for McDonald's? Professor Kingsfield eating Big Macs? No way!
 
This one really gets to me. I really hate women being abused and nobody is doing anything about it. In this commercial is what I am talking about. I wanted to literally take that guy to the wall, punch him in the face, break his glasses, punch him until his eyes turn black, and staple his bald head!

 
I hate the Colonial Penn Life Insurance spot where the spokesman, Jonathan, is spotted in the grocery store as the seller of life insurance on the TV commercial. In reality he'd say "yes, I'm Jonathan. or rather, that's my name in the commercial script and I'm making a fortune off residuals for acting as the Colonial Penn rep but in reality I'm an actor and have nothing to do with the life insurance."
 
Any AM/PM ad with the repulsive mascot Toomgis. I would never stop there for their watered down gas anyway (unless I have to fill up a rental vehicle) but just the thought of that walking pile of gross snack food makes me avoid the inside of an AM/PM store. Thank goodness for pay at the pump.

Do they add on a charge for using a debit card like Arco used to? I swore off Arco after I saw that on my receipt.
 
Any commercial that yells at me is immediately off my radar. Used to be car dealers were the worst but now in Phoenix we have an appliance store doing it.
