One of those commercials in specific has been stuck in my head for weeks. The used sub compact one.

Funny commercials but TOO DAMN CATCHY.

You couldn't teach a class on Jingle writing without using all of them as examples. Funny, catchy, well performed.... great work.

The sub-compact one is always out of sync when I see it.

That commercial owns soooo much. They make cable and internet and phone intense.

I want to shoot myself whenever it comes up. They literally play that in almost every commercial break and on every channel. I don't even own a TV and I know all the words.

My dad said he read in USA today that the "singer" is French-Canadian and can't actually speak English.

I bet that dude's glad he ended up getting the used subcompact what with gas prices this summer.

They're little ear worms if I've ever heard one. I can't even stumble through our national anthem but lordy, I can sing these word for word.

You're not a well man.
