What's the Stupidest Commercial on TV?

Tweet

Are TV commercials getting stupider, or am I just getting more critical as I get older? Many commercials are stupid even when they're kind of cool. You know, the ones that you actually enjoy watching, but you can't remember the product they're selling? What a stupid waste of advertising money. Then there's commercials that are just stupid, period. You remember the product, and the commericial is so stupid you may even start to hate the product! Here's an example, and what I nominate as the stupidest commercial on TV: The commercial opens with a variety of people... different ages, races, sexes, various types of clothing... all standing out in the woods... each are next to a tree... each are kicking the tree they're standing next to. Not saying anything, just standing there lamely kicking a tree. Then it zooms in on one guy wearing a stupid bright red Wendys wig (you know, with the two upturned poneytails on the sides). He's also kicking a tree. But then he stops and says something like, "Hey, I don't have to do this. I want a fresh juicy burger!" Eventually he gets everyone else to shout "I want a fresh juicy burger!" Then it shows a Wendys burger. That's it. Totally stupid. Wendys commercials were once great ("Where's the beef?"), then amusing when founder Dave Thomas was in them... and have plummeted into the depths of stupidity since Thomas died. Sigh. Anyway, that's what I consider the stupidest commercial on TV at the moment. How about you -- what commercial do YOU think is the stupidest one on TV right now?
