It's really corny, no argument there. I think I'm ok with it because it isn't loud, doesn't make claims that I immediately and angrily dispute, and has a bear paddling a canoe.

I'm on board with you, it realizes its corny. And him running through the woods for no reason and the eagle call were pretty epic. The guy is just having the time of his life in the middle of nowhere.

Almost all commercials are annoying when the get repeated ad nauseam. One that comes to mind is the Nissan Rogue that jumps on the train and slides into a parking place. Enough already...

The Nissan ad may just inspire a national protest movement larger than the Tea Party demanding they cease and desist. Some ads are boring the very first time out--that was one.

There are a few that don't bother me. Reese's peanut butter cups are short, fairly clever, seasonal, and non-grating. I always liked the Corona ads with the Christmas lights on the palm tree, the lime getting carved like a jack-o-lantern, etc. Those were non-intrusive, understated and tasteful.

I have never gotten tired of the Allstate mayhem ads--think they're witty, love the guy's dry, snarky attitude, always curious to see where they're going when a new one comes out. Maybe my favorite ads.

They sure picked the right guy to play the part. Check out this snippet from the actor's (Dean Winters) Wiki page:

Around June 19, 2009, after shooting the Happy Town pilot, Winters contracted a bacterial infection and collapsed upon arrival at his doctor's office, and while being transported across Central Park in an ambulance, Winters' heart stopped beating for 2½ minutes. Paramedics were able to revive him, and Winters was hospitalized in intensive care for three weeks.

Over the course of the next year, Winters developed gangrene, requiring the amputation of two toes and half of one thumb and ten subsequent operations including a skin graft. Aside from being replaced by Weber when the pilot was picked up for series production, Winters was away from acting until the spring of 2010, when Tina Fey brought him back to 30 Rock and he started work on the Mayhem campaign.

I swear to fuck, if I see either the guy or the gal from the ATT commercial ("what's the catch", "there is no catch") that's shown 50 times every game, I will flatten his/her face with a fucking snow shovel...
