#6: Chrysler / SunCom co-op

I’m not big on top 10 “whatever” lists, and didn’t plan on doing one for the worst commercials of 2006. Until I ran into a few lists that other publications had done. Namely, this list by Slate.com made me cock my head to the side like a confused dog and whimper out a confused grunt. Really Slate, do you really think these are the first ten worst commercials of the year? Or are they just the first ten commercials you found? In fact one of them (the Fudgems one) after viewing I decided must be one of the BEST of 2006. (I did agree with the article on at least one contender.)

(Oh there is more…)

Next we eliminate the middleman

I have mixed feeling about whether or not the Hardee’s fast food chain calling its customer base wussies for eating somewhere else is a good decision. I’m afraid if I push the issue more they’ll call ME a wussy.

I do know this commercial strikes me as kind of nasty for some reason. Previously we examined the chain’s desire to show people eating under disgustingly detailed circumstances. Something about a woman bottle-feeding her boyfriend makes me feel uncomfortable. Like gym locker room and-that old man is completely naked long after his shower is over uncomfortable.

There really isn’t a lot of nuance here. They might as well have the guy say “Ga-ga-goo goo, I’m a baby and I eat at McDonald’s!” and then spit a raspberry at us. Watch the commercial..unless you’re too much of a baby.
