Those ads are so stupid. Especially the one where he slides down the fireman's pole and then Limu comes out of the elevator and he says "There's an elevator?" How the hell did he get to the upper floor, shimmy up the pole?

I'm really tired of Limu and his sidekick, so maybe it's time for a nice big helping of emu cacciatore. Emu marsala? Emu au vin?

they ever had to worry about MY doing so. Hated those Flo related ads as well. The emu and the gecko, WAY more tolerable, imo.

Somebody's ad company is getting over like a FAT rat.

into the “hate Emu” commercial club. I adore Limu and his sidekick. They bring some goofy silliness into the world, which we really, really need.

The one where Emu goes after the mascot makes me laugh.

I really hate the Liberty ads, and any pharma ad.

The Jardiance A1C singers are also a kick in the balls, but the absolute worst is those little animated Kroger people dancing in the aisles about "low" prices.

Cooper Lawrence. She's peddling medical kit with dozens of prescription pills. You get the box of pills and then when you think you're on the verge of getting sick, you open the box and choose the pill that's gonna save ya from going to a doc-in-a-box in a room full of sick people.

I wouldn't buy a Vicks cough drop from her.

I'm surprised that product is even legal.

It's especially annoying how the woman screeches "Bags Under Your Eyes" but the whole commercial is awful.
