They take the prize for being on TV the most of any ad in history. And they are the worst ever. Even the Mannings can't save them.

at least something happens in these. The performances of J.B. Smoove and Halle Barry are more watchable as are the production values. The spots are different enough unlike the Verizon retail approach.

The State Farm commercials (Arron Rodgers) are worse than those. The AT&T commercials are as bad as Verizon. One favorable note about Verizon -- I don't think they'll last long. It's a limited promotion, viewers hate them, and though McKinnon did it for easy money, she won't repeat the mistake. That's my prediction, for what it's worth.

It is so stupid and distracting.

It would be nice if that Caesar guy could talk properly or be actually funny. They have spent an enormous fortune on those commercials. They should have spent some of it on better writers. You now know where you betting money is going - not to winners.
