OK folks. You know how we feel about this year's Kay Jewelers ad and the holiday-themed pap smear PSAs, but which holiday ads are making you want to throw your remote/magazine/newspaper/laptop into an open fire this year? There's only one way to find out! It's time for OFFENSIVE COMMERCIALS: HOLIDAY SHOWDOWN!
Kay Jewelers:
I know this ad is from last year, but I've seen it on TV this season as well, and it's just as ridiculous this time around. How is this couple in such a serious relationship (celebrating Christmas morning together) if the guy barely knows how to sign? And can that shiny watch really make up for his lack of communication skills? Well, judging by her smiling face and kissing lips, the answer is yes.
I am restraining myself here and only including four holiday commercials in the showdown instead of the hundreds that could have been entered. If you've seen an ad that took the jingle right out of your bells this season, tell us about it in the comments section! Until then, it's SHOWDOWN TIME!
