There are few things in this world I hate more than FreeCreditReport.com commercials. The stupid songs get stuck in my head, making me want to kill everyone, including myself. And they just keep getting worse. Check out the most recent one:
Seriously, this shit has to stop. I mean, are people actually enrolling in Triple Advantage, the program you have to pay to be in to get your “free” credit report? (By the way, you can get a truly free credit report once a year by going here.)
Like my fascination with Flo from the Progressive Commercials, I had to find out who this guy is. After a little internet research, I discovered he’s Canadian (gee thanks, Canada!) actor Eric Violette. Other than an appearance in a Canadian movie in 2007, this is his only gig as an actor, at least according to IMDB. For his sake, and the sake of my sanity, I hope he gets more work very soon so he can quit doing these God-awful commercials. I don’t know how much more of it I can stand.

I honestly dont understand the brains behind this stupid ad campaign.
They change the songs with every ad, the songs are terrible, the guy is unlikeable, and he’s a sexist asshole.
HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.
They also play them on the radio station we listen to at work, I cannot escape it

Ahahaaha. I like them. I’m sorry. Very catchy. I love the scary verizon commercials, too!

@Lizzie: Ha ha, girl, we gotta get you some help. You like these guys, Heidi and Audrina, creepy Verizon guy (although, those new “dead zone” commercials are amusing). Next thing you’ll tell me you like that annoying woman in the Glade commercials or the Toyota “Saved by Zero” jingle!

HATE these commercials. Did you know that guy doesn’t even sing? It’s dubbed. With my current daytime tv viewing schedule I get to see a new one just about every week, and the one today - about a moving to a Renaissance Faire? WHICH DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE - is the worst one yet.

Ok so the one that makes me crazy is that, his life sucks because he is working at a restaurant serving ice tea and chowder tourest. All of this because his credit is in the shitter. I hope that bitch comes into where I work. NO SOUP FOR YOU!
