I vote for Microsoft. Their commercial about "Teams" is absolutely ridiculous.

And I would like to know why everyone seems to think videoconferencing is a brand new thing that just came along for covid. But Microsoft takes it to the next level by putting a doctor on and he's amazed he can give test results or explain an X-ray over video chat.

Car manufacturers. Doesn’t matter which one, they all went over the fricking top.

Chick-fil-a has to be in the running.

"In these uncertain times, we're here for you. That's why we've taken measures to make sure you can get our chicken the same exact fricking way you always have...at the drive thru. And while we haven't changed a Goddamn thing, were sure making sure our commercials make it seem like we have. Now let's take care of each other."

That’s a good one. I like how they slipped the London Metro Police guy tracking people’s movements in there as well.

It reminds me of the Dave Chappelle joke in one of his first standup specials...

Anyone else cringe when nurses and doctors are talked about in the same light as soldiers? “on the front lines”.

seems really really disingenuous to the hundreds of thousands who have died for our freedom. just gross.

Quite possibly the most overused word on TD.

Telling everyone in an indirect way about how lofty your moral position is, often in some self-loathing disingenuous manner

For example, CFA technically meets the definition. But the company is actually centered on virtue, so it's different from Kia or Amazon pretending like they give a shite about you/the environment/justice/etc.

Yes. But then again I cringe when Soldiers are talked about the same way.
