Although the car commercial with the gift dog (followed by gift car) in the snow is a very close second...

This commercial totally undermines proper Bible-based male authority!

Errr ... wait ... is that not what you guys were talking about?

I hate this fucking ad. Been going for a few years now. What are they? Drug dealers? Two brand new GMCs on top of a nice house? Who they marketing too? Not me obviously who works for 20k a year

Who gives somebody a fucking Lexus for Christmas, let alone with a bow on it? I hate that ad.

If you want to buy me a car, I want to choose it. I want to do research, and test drive, and pick the color. It’s a personal decision.

Fortunately it's far shorter in length.

Woman gets home, her house is a disaster area, kids out of control, sitter is texting on her phone so she "retreats" back to her car.

Seriously it makes me want to scream -- she opens the door to basically a very chaotic but happy scene and immediately retreats to the serene quiet of her car? Bad mom.

and this one is especially stupid. He picks out the color "he" likes for himself? Yeah, sounds about right.

Of what color of vehicle their significant other is partial to.

I seriously doubt ANYBODY actually does what's pictured in these ads. IRL If you were going to do something like this you'd give them something that indicates that you want to take them to a dealership so they can pick out their new car. But that doesn't translate that well to a car ad

Also, it's just an ad, folks ...

on a new truck or SUV that reads "To: Jim. From: Jim" The the guy who we now know is Jim says "Just what I wanted!"

coupling the topic with the dragging-on of our getting rid of the UNpresident.

And my nominee for my petty peeve was going to be a downer wailing of "I'll Be Home for Xmas ... if only in my dreams." Had heard it in my usual background before finally looking up at the end to see who the danged sponsor was, and it turned out to be the USPS.

In no way is this a hostile-to-USPS thing, just that cloying song and its execution.

***That said, the blue truck one has seemed almost cute to me, but apparently that's just me.

Once in a while, I can't get to the remote fast enough. And I will start hearing a commercial.

I absolutely abhor any commercial that uses OUR music, that we grew up with, to sell drugs!
