Pet peeve: McGruff commercials
As I kid, I loved them. Of course they were different then.

Nowadays, they run two of them ALL the time!!!!! There is the video game where the kid "beats" his oponent (a bully) by dodging punchs and jumping over them, ala no violence.


Then there is the REALLY ANNOYING out of tune guitar player who can't play, the 'danger dog' song <----------------------- I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS COMMERCIAL!!! WTH?????

I understand the point of these commercials.....but how are people supposed to get the point when they change the channel everytime they are on?

Yeah the McGruff commercials in the 80's were key.

I used to love that "Don't Do Drugs" commercial with Regina who had that song "Baby Love".

Users are losers. Ahem...

No! I don't know if it's any channel in particular.....I see them everywhere, way too often.
