for me the capital one commercials featuring a baseball game between the jaguars and visigoth state are some of the worst commercials i have ever witnessed. what makes it even worse is the knowledge that some ''creative'' team put this garbage together and i'm sure were well paid to do so.

I have a friend that works for cap one. I know he had nothing to do with the commercials but just because, I would text him and tell him to go frick himself, every time one of those commercials came on the last three nights. Good thing I have unlimited texting.

Yeah, it is always humorous when a marketing team takes a good joke too far. Obviously, the visigoths fared pretty well in focus groups, so they ran with them. I imagine most people couldn't even remember how the Visigoths started.

A prime example is the Cavemen and Geico. That shite is just worn out.

People have been banned for stuff like that.

TigerJed got banned because he said that John Adams dies.

They had about 3 of them all equally horrible. Only reason I know this is if you were watching on espn 360 it is the only commercials they ran. I was cringing every time it came on and got to the point I had to change the channel. I hate those commercials. Glad to know I was not the only one that disliked them.

Only if he would have screamed "NERDS" coming out! That would have been greatness.

That wasn't Ogre.

Ogre is in the dugout spitting out sunflowers. The dude from the pen is just another big dude with a beard.

i thought that was him in the dugout but i figured if it really was him he'd have a bigger role in a shitty capitol one commercial

Ah your right I just saw the commercial. I knew he was in the commercials but I thought it was him in the pen.

ORGE was initially the catcher and not the guy coming out of the bull pin, but OGRE got hurt on the first day of the shoot so they had to film another person playing catcher for a few scenes.

I am glad someone else feels this way.

Worst and most overplayed commercial ever.

Well....maybe the new Geico commercials are running a close 2nd.

And also any damn Verizon commercial.
