Worst commercial during Phillies games?

POSTED: Saturday, August 28, 2010, 1:10 PM

Which is the worst Phillies commercial?
The one with the female office worker who does a dance number with the mustachioed guy
The "3 a.m. coffee break" series of the couple in bed watching a late-night TV show in which workers in a TV studio drink coffee
The one where the two imbecilic office workers toss a ball back and forth while the office-supply delivery guy brings in the stuff
The one with the barber with the Eastern European accent

We're headed into the homestretch of the baseball season.

Combine that with the extra-inning games of late, and Phillies fans have been subjected to more than their share of repetitive commercials from a certain office-supply house (which will remain nameless because, well, why give it any publicity?).

Time for an Philly Insider poll.

    Thank you for calling out W.B Mason for the most irritating commercials in the history of advertising. They ruin every Phillies game, and I will never buy so much as a paperclip from those morons. Anyone trying to defend that crap in this comments section indubitably works for that moronic firm. If you are a member of their marketing department, then PLEASE...Just. Make. It. Stop. I would criticize that Sal's Back and Steak 'Em Up crap, but it is obviously some kind of Philly Mob racket if they can infringe on copyrights from bad bands like the Cars and get away with it. If you are Klein's editor, give that man a medal.

    What I hate in EVERY broadcasted event is when the lead man is forced to wedge a quick promo in between pitches or during an exciting play. That's about as cheesy as it gets.

    The worst commercial is better than listening to dreadful Chris Wheeler. There must be a side deal somewhere to subject the loyal Phillies fans to this every night!

    I...uh...eh...uh...eh...uh, uh...eh...um...oh...eh...um...I have no words. Please tell me you're all joking about PETA taking exception with the monkey. If PC and special interest have become this interfering, it's time to join the militia.
