Creepy Commercials

The latest Progressive commercial where Flo acts like a drug dealer trying to convince kids to try drugs. Like she is a pusher trying to get kids to start on pot, hiding in the shadows. Here, have a free joint. It won't hurt you...

Creepy!

Any commercials creep you out?

I've been without T.V for 6 years now.
I was floored this weekend at a friends house when I saw a Commercial advertising a new show.

Cougars or something like that.

I am TV free too. Amazing how much time you have to surf the web. You also have to play with your children.

The Kayak commercials can also be creepy. One has a guy with 4 paper machete dummies helping him search. They cut to a head that just creeps me out.

Then they have the one with the guy on the computer and another guy come up into his sweater.

All of those car insurance commercials are a bit freaky. If i see that State Farm one with grandma one more time...

Although the gieco commercials are still good for a laugh.

Flo the Progressive insurance girl creeps me out. The Capital One viking guys are pretty disgusting. I'd pay good money so see Flo thrown in a cage with the Capital One vikings. Toss in the Aflac duck and you got yourself some entertainment.

Got to say I love the T-Mobile, Carl's and Wendy's commercials.

State Farm commercials are just annoying and don't make me want to "buy" the product.
