There are a couple commercials on the radio, as soon as they come on the radio goes off or to another station: Kars for Kids Shane co (the actors pretneding they're employees with amazing stories about getting rings for their loved one, this company should be put down for that ad campaign alone) Peterson Dean roofs (the cocky asshole who sounds like a car dealer essentially telling you how dumb you are if you don't use his company, I hate this fucker) I don't know those other ones, but yes Kars for Kids is horrible, and now they have multiple versions of that grating jingle. |

You've all seen it if you have watched a US sporting event in the last couple weeks. The guy buys his wife a Peloton exercise bike for Christmas and she rides it all year. So why is it stupid?
What man, it their right mind, buys his better half an exercise bike as a gift? I can see it now
"Merry Christmas dear. It's an exercise bike!!"
after a long pause
"Just what are you trying to tell me. Dear...."
The absolute worst commercials during sporting events are the Chevy commercials where people are supposedly amazed that a car can go by itself. They're beyond insulting, they've been getting ripped for years yet they still do them. If Chevy offered me a FREE car I'd say no because of these commercials.

Now I'll have "1-8-7-7 kars for Kids" going through my head for a while. I fucking scream when that ad comes on. The most infamous earworm ad in history.

This went further than I expected. I seen the ad when my wife was in the room. I asked her if she would love it if I got her an exercise bike for Christmas. She shot me an evil look. I assured her that I wasn't. She said, for her, if I did that and she didn't asked for one, it would be a step up from a vacuum. If a husband bought his wife a coupon for a visit to the hair salon, he would assume he hated her hair. Exercise bike = you're getting fat.
i-8-7-7 Kars for kids. Damn you Jenkins

I hate the Chevy commercial where it’s that smarmy guy telling all the “average everyday people” how many JD Powers awards their cars have won and they’re all like converted to a new cult. JD Powers awards are meaningless bullshit awards and have no more value than my personal Frank Sobotka Awards. |

My question is how the F does that company get business? It's the most hated commercial ever, there isn't anyone who can stand it, yet they're still going and still doing that lame song which is annoying as fcuk. I'd burn my car before I'd ever give it to them, who are the idiots funding these scumbags?

Plus it goes into the whole 'brand awareness' thing that I saying earlier. If you had a car that wasn't worth selling but might be worth the tax break of donating, you'd have exactly one organization you know of that specializes in that. Now a lot of us think we'd rather burn our cars before donating to them because of that stupid god damn song, but most people don't actually take that kind of stance in reality. But yeah... fuck Kars for Kids. |

All I know is everyone hates that fucking commercial with a passion, if you look on any "whats the worst commercial" list, that one always tops the list. it's baffling to me they keep doing that song.

I’ve literally never seen this Kars for Kids commercial. Is it not aired in Philly or did I luck out? Dare I google it?

My lady who doesn't listen to anything on the radio where that commercial would come up, was complaining about it and lo and behold it came up on the tV and I was like "wtf, this is on tV now? Why why why?"

Thankfully, I have no idea what you guys are talking about. This is why I pay for satellite radio.

I'm not sure if I know what this kars for kids thing is either, but I know one thing......
Since it was brought up, it's taken over this thread, even getting comments from people who have never heard of it and are now curious about it.
You know what that's called? Really good advertising. 😉😉😉

I don't know if anyone remembers this guy. If he was East Coast or just NY/NJ.
We loved him, my Dad wanted to torture him to death of the course of weeks. He hated Crazy Eddie. proves how polarizing ads can be. I never got the fascination for "Where' the Beef" and I got violently sick every time I hears "Whazzzup".
