The Zeekies Zeke's Christmas Commercial awards 2007
« on: December 04, 2007, 01:06:51 PM »
   This is something I started doing back in 1999. Back then there was only one Category: best commercial.
I understand that most people don't watch commercial, but it's Christmas Goddamit, not watching advertisements at this time of year  makes baby Jesus cry.
over the years we have expanded to:

Most disgustingly manipulative Jewelry commercial

Most Implausible use of Automobile as gift

Best portrayal of an elf

Best portrayal of Santa Claus

Fattest Santa

Most sickeningly cute kid/puppy/polar bear


Most nonsensical commercial

Biggest stretch (we wish you a happy fridge day so go out and buy paint.


Have at it, nominations to follow.

Is there ever a clear winner in this category?

One nomination so far, but not sure which category it'd go in:

I love the Verizon commercial with the 3 teen girls- 2 got the phone they wanted and the 3rd got a pony.  Who bites.

I like this Garmin Commercial better:

The moose makes it.

I like this one too, mostly because it's finally a video game that's not WoW.

This one rivals "I'm coming for you, Porkchop!" (which I can't find!) but it's from 2006.
