Most Target ads. I mean, what exactly are they trying to express through song and dance?

Why cant commercials talk about the product anymore :?: I have no clue what the dancing or the song or people dressed up as hamsters have anything to do with cars

Commercials that are completely unrelated to the product make me think they are advertizing something else & I don't have a clue or remember what the original product is. Like Peter in this Family Guy clip; I won't even notice or process the mintos

They seem to have abated for now, but those ads where an illness would be represented by some icky animated character were sickening to me. I wonder what little kids thought of them. "Lookie, Mommy! I want toenail fungus!"

As for programs, AFV is my guilty pleasure. :oops:
But I don't like to look at shows like American Dad and Family Guy because the characters are so ugly. They're funny as hell to hear, but I just can't stand to look at them.

I find Dr. Phil a darkly funny show. Dark because of the complete scumbags who appear on there, but funny because of the scumbag's attempts at passing off as normal humans.
