This Year's Most Annoying Christmas Commercial

Posted by Scanner Matt



From animated Hershey's kisses jingling Christmas carols to that 80's kid who comes home from college to make Folgers coffee, televised holiday-themed advertising has lodged itself permanently somewhere in our brand-ridden brains. We hope 2008's most annoying Christmas commercial will be easily forgotten.

It's not the Victoria's Secret commercial, but we'll show you that one too.

Santa opens a Christmas present. It's a cellphone that turns him into a smug albino hipster? Most annoying Christmas commercial of the year.

Now what in God's name is going on here? Besides lots of brassieres.

But who can forget this gem? Best Christmas commercial of all time? Yes. "Ho ho ho I'm hu-hu-hungry."

i don't understand those centro "claus" commercials at all! they really bother me.

is "claus" supposed to be sexy?

are we supposed to want to bang him?

why does the phone make santa young?

was santa ever young to being with?

why is he going out to night clubs and eating fancy hip  dinners?

why is the dog he gives the valet so tiny?

why does he want people to call him claus?

am i going to have to worry about bumping into him at studio b?

why do i care?

the only more annoying christmas commercial is the one for campbell's soup, where the tree reaches a branch in through an open window and helps itself to some green bean casserole. that's some creepy shit!

I was looking for braziers, until I realized you meant brassieres.
