    Is it just me or does one of these commercials look like its filmed at ABIA? I could've sworn it looked like the control tower and coupled with the below average traffic, great weather, and wide open sky visible pretty much everywhere it seems a lot like Bergstrom.

    I don't know but I making it my mission in life to find who created the concept and kick him so hard in the nuts that his balls explode.

    Right after I find and do the same to the idoit who came up "that's the money you could be saving with Geico".

    I hope they all get *** cancer.

    I love the Bags Fly Free promos. I respect SW for having the balls to stay away from charging for bags.

    I actually like the spots also. They are well done and definitely get the point across.

    I, too, like the bags fly free ads. Especially after having to pay $15 for my bag to travel to Denver on Frontier.

    I don't mind the Geico spots, either. The one I want to kick in the junk is the Whataburger voiceover dude.

    The worst commercials are Wendy's where they keep repeating "If its reeeeeeaaaaaal, you know that its real."

    I actually change the channel rather than have to listen to that jingle.

    No, the worst commercials are the ones that are about 20 dbs above the current sound level you are watching your show at.

    If there's anyone in marketing that sees this, know that I just mute your **** and go out of my way not to purchase your crap.

    The guy at the end of the whataburger commercials that says

    "What A Burger!"

    Sounds like Rick Barnes.

    So if Southwest has to increase what they charge customers would people prefer an overall rate hike that impacts everyone, or charge for bags?

    The best way to watch TV is to always have a secondary channel. It helps if this secondary channel is a HBO-type channel that has no commercials, thus every time you switch from primary you know there won't be a commercial. Just find a funny movie you've already seen or a live concert on a music channel or something, beats watching commercials.

    One more commercial I hate is the mock-Presidential ads that use some random Obama press conference to endorse debt consoling. ESPN plays these things at every break.

    That Freebirds commercial mentioned in another thread with the guy wailing like a banshee really drives me up a wall.

    The Rudy's Commercial where they start with the Craig Way voiceover from the Rose Bowl but show a reenactment by Rudy's Sause bottles with helmets instead of the actual game footage.

    I wonder if they realize that each time they do that, they make 100,000 people angry at Rudy's. If you don't want to splash out for the game footage, don't tease people who greatly enjoy remembering the event.

    The Geico and SWA commercials are actually pretty darn good, since they convey a relevant message.

    The Mishtress and I sort of identify with those Sonic imbeciles. Sad.

    Is it just me, or is it potentially confusing to have a Dallas based airline claim that "bags fly free"?

    if the Miller High Life guys came cruising in their beer truck where I was and tried to load up the MHL because the people there were "too uppity" to drink it, I think I'd put a bottle upside the guy's noggin.

    and I don't even drink that horsepiss.
