For me the absolute worst are the Carl's Jr. (fast food chain out west) ones. Some of them have been offensive, in bad taste and I can't stand the guy who does the voiceovers. Be lucky you are all spared those! Carl's Jr. does have a second chain owned by the same company in other parts of the country called Hardee's. I don't know if they use the same ads though.

Jack in the Box ones are a kick. Have you seen the latest where they make fun of competing chains using Angus Beef? ( "Can you tell us what part of the cow the angus is?" Jack: "I'd rather not".)

Faves are anything with puppies! I love the Cottenelle where the yellow lab pup goes into the bathroom because Timmy is scared of his mom wearing a cucumber face mask.

Also the lab puupy who sings (in a little boy's voice) "there ain't no bugs on me..." for flea products.
There's also a cute one for Petco where a bulldog is introduced to his baby sister (bulldog puppy).
