And the award for worst commercials ever goes to
Vehix.
Won't even link a youtube if one exists because its just THAT bad. I'd rather watch Madden lead poor blacks further into economic slavery hawking rent a center junk than see another vehix commercial. What on earth are they thinking?

I'm not to fond of the security commercials with an ok dressed white guy physically breaking into an occupied house in broad daylight. with immediate response from ADT or whoever it is. Used to be Brinks commercial.

I can be happy, I have never heard of Vehix or their commercials. I will trust your judgement.
I have seen and heard some pretty bad commercials.

I hate 'em all. I've only been using DVDR since the beginning of the year. I have no idea how I lasted that long. Makes watching TV like reading the paper. This headline, that headline, 1/3 the comics, toss.

DVRs are great. I love to watch a ALMS race and fly past the commercials, and the stupid pit interviews.

Remember the Quiznos commercials with those weird furry puppet things with the mis-shapen but human teeth? What the hell was that and why would it ever make me want to buy a sandwich?

AMC went from the best to worst, (no commercials to 10 minutes of movie, 5 minutes commercials). I'll date myself here and say when the concept of cable TV came out it was so there would be no commercials, FRIGGIN' RIGHT!! Although I will admit maybe .00001% are fun to watch.

I just watched two motorcycle races - each ostensibly an hour long, in a little over an hour thanks to DVR. And Dish provides a handy 30 second button so you can just blast blast blast through the ads.
I can barely stand to watch tv these days without first recording at least the first few minutes of the show.

Those Quizno's commercials were indeed creepy as hell.
But the Titan Insurance ones really annoy the pee out of me.

The Brinks/Broadview ones are just the other side of blatantly fraudulent and promise false security. (If your psycho ex-boyfriend breaks into your house, you will be kidnapped/dead before they ever get around to calling you.)

I belong to the "hate them all" club! The ones I really can't stand are the Progressive Insurance and Geico ads. They are on constantly.

At least some of the Geico ads are funny. I enjoy SOME of the Bud light commercials that are funny.
I HATE all ads that insist on playing music or singing some lame jingle. Mute & fast forward is my friend.

No listen guys, the Vehix commercials (all of them) aren't just bad as in 'oh thats not a funny joke' or 'jeez let it go with the caveman already'.....they are a living breathing version of those cheeseball pictures of generic people smiling and pointing in JC Penny catalogs and Wal Mart sale papers.

I seem to recall hearing the words "Vehix dot com" while watching TV, but I think my attention is turned to my laptop when the commercial is on...
