There's just something wrong with the cute girl holding her hands apart expressing her satisfaction with a foot long. :shrug:

Ok, what is the deal with that frikkin Honda Civic Commercial?

You know, the one where they drive the car down the bumpy road and it plays that little jingle? What the hell is that? I don't understand one single thing about that commercial. Why does it play that jingle? Cars don't sound like that when they go over a bump, did they program the car to play a different sound when it hits a bump? If so, why?

How the hell does that commercial sell cars? It doesn't make a shred of sense. If someone here gets it, please clue me in because no one I know gets it either. Completely stupid.

The first one had a blond holding up her hands giving the foot long sign, nodding with a big smile on her face. Since then there have been no shots of ladies doing this only guys.

Right now I'd say it's the AT&T rollover minutes commercials.

Do any of the local stations still run the "apply directly to your forehead! apply directly to your forehead! apply directly to your forehead!" commercial?

There is a commercial on the radio that is for Toyota. It's a phone ringing with an answering machine picking up and the dude on the message is talking about being out enjoying his Toyota truck. That in itself is annoying as it can get.....

In MY Toyota truck this commercial comes in ear piercingly loud and the phone ringing to the answering machine BEEEEEEEEEEEP just about nearly blows my ear drum out. Its for this sole reason that I mute the radio when I'm driving home listening to a Suns/Dbacks game.

They cut grooves in the road with different calculated patterns to make distinct noises when the tires roll over those grooves. The result was a song. I think.
