the slash your wrists, bring the house down, sorry your kid died commercial from nation wide is getting its legs.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Granted, people are talking about Nationwide Insurance, that did not ever talk about them before or routinely ignored their commercials.

However, the conversations are NOT complimentary.

I know 'any PR is good PR,' but not in this case. I think the commercial is vile, and it's really hard to offend me.

thing is, the Mindy commercial w/ Matt Damon was actually kinda cute

Nationwide would've been fine with just that one.  They wouldn't've "won" the day, but they wouldn't've stepped on their d*cks either

I saw the Snickers commercial with Danny Trejo and Steve B last night. That was some hilarious stuff. It's too bad they stuck with terrible commercials in general.

Yep, that ad was glorious.

My personal favorite fail was that Nissan commercial about the kid who resents the fact his race car driving dad is never there. "Resent your absentee father? Think Nissan!" Bonus points for being so utterly tone deaf that the soundtrack to your racetrack crash-laden commercial is a song by a man who died in a car accident.

Oh, or Budweiser and their "Let those people with taste drink something else! We're the beer for pathetic sorts who have burnt the tastebuds out of their mouths with years of abuse!" ad was quite the winner, too.
