Worst recent commercials

Those smarmy Cadillac commercials:
"Does it return the favor?"
"Oh have I said too much?" I'd really like to punch that guy in the face, whoever he is.

The Microsoft "I am a PC" answer commercials to the Apple "I'm Mac, I'm a PC" commercials.

All the credit card debt consolidation commercials.

A is for Amy who fell down the stairs

B is for Basil assaulted by bears
