Ok, these commericals are getting a little ridiculous.

By now, I'm sure you've seen them all. If you're like me, you've seen all the commercials CBS is showing at least 10 times each, and probably more (and this, sadly, is not an exaggeration).

It's not even the fact that they always replay the same commericals. It's the fact that for every TV Timeout, we get a solid 3 minutes of commercials. After every timeout a team takes, we go to a commerical break, where they usually fit in at least 2 commercials. Whatever happened to the announcers talking about the game during a short timeout? Instead, we're stuck with the same commercials over and over again.

So if you'll allow me to rant about these crappy commercials, and I encourage you to do the same in the Comments, because I'm sure you're as fed up as I am.

The Applebee's Commercial - The first couple times I heard this, I kinda liked it. Now, I think CBS plays it more than any other commercial. I've just grown to have a strong dislike of these two guys. And when they're in the Applebee's playing the guitar, and the water is just flying off the guy's guitar and hits the woman in the eye, that's just stupid.

State Farm Commercial - This is just stupid. The guy's in getting car insurance... only he's dressed up like he's ready for a basketball game. His chest and face are painted, and I think he's wearing a cape. The lady tells him something, and I think he barks. Does State Farm think a guy in a cape with his chest painted barking is going to convince people to buy their insurance? Anyway, she says something else, and he says "Boo Yeah!" What? I don't like Stuart Scott in the first place, and I really don't like Stuart Scott impersonators. So not only is a painted guy in a cape trying to buy insurance, but he's barking and he says "Boo Yeah!" Not cool.

TGI Friday's Commercial - First off, TGI Friday's is not so popular that you just constantly run into people there. Second off, I personally have never met a guy that just sits down, steal a guy's last shrimp out of his hand, and then drinks his Kung Pow says, and says "Spicy." This just does not happen. I don't even get the point of the commercial. To say their sauce is spicy?

Southwest Airlines Commercial - Or maybe it's Northwest Airlines, I'm not sure. Whatever those "Wanna get away?" commercials are. I actually kinda liked these at first. In one, the guy pumps up his basketball so much that it pops when it hits the backboard. In another, the guy jumps off a mini-trampoline and goes on the roof. These become far less clever after the 300th viewing.

McDonald's Commerical - I really have to say, if you've been married for 10 years, and you didn't even know it until you drank a cup of coffee from McDonald's, your problems are very large. And I don't just mean marital problems. How incredibly stupid is the premise of these commercials? "Drink a cup of coffee, cure amnesia!" This commercial sucks.

Cingular Commercials - "You don't have March Madness, you have March Sadness." No, I have March Sadness, from watching this commercial so many times. I have grown to hate that guy with the Cingular phone. Everything about him. His looks, personality, etc., and all from a commercial. I actually thought the dropped calls ne was kinda clever, the one about where he and his brother have such a deep emotional connection that two words is all he needs to say. But now that I've seen it so much, it's not funny anymore.

The saddest thing about this is that normally, these commercials probably wouldn't be that bad. But I've seen them so many times because of all the long commercial breaks that CBS has, so I know I'll be seeing a lot more of them over the course of the tournament.
