I love that Burger King commercial, with Shaq ordering an Xtreme Bacon with Cheese Whopper. It shows everything from his point of view, as other customers say hi, and then the BK cashier asks him what he wants. His delivery is so flat, it's hilarious.
The phrase "phoning it in" is pretty cliche, but I honestly do think he phoned it in. I mean, watch the commercial again. Why else would they go out of their way to never show his face in the commercial? And why is his voice so distant, quiet, and unemotional?
My theory is, he was too busy to make it to the commercial shoot, so the director called him, held the phone into a microphone and told him to quickly say all of his lines. Then they changed the camera angles around, to make it look like its from Shaq's perspective.
I wonder how many millions of dollars he got for saying "I want an extreme bacon with cheese whopper" into a telephone?

The new ads, where someone overhears two people talking about stocks and thinks they own the company... painful...

The new Philips DVD recorder shows people throwing out their wedding video because they are recording it on a format that can stand the test of time... a DVD RW... (RW diskss are notorious for degrading quickly)

Any ad featuring an icecream deserves to burn in hell.

Another one for a hand held digital camera for kids, show the kids making a music video with editing and good blue screen work... The footage they showed the kids made was broadcast quality... It made me want to throw up, but I have a fealing it is the same for everyone‘s fields.
