No one has brought this hideous dreck to the forefront yet?

Well by all means, bask in the horrid singing of three fat chicks.




All these Christmas spots just make me miss the "Noelco" Santa that much more.



It just ain't the season until Santa rides the razor.

Yes, but the commercial in the link is much, much worse:

Yack, that's far worse.
I did do a search, but "Big Lots" in the forums.commercialsihate.com returned nothing!

I used to love this spot, although it usually signaled the end of the holiday season:

"Everyday is Black Friday at Big Lots!"

That phrase alone makes my blood boil!

It did for me.  You can see I used those exact words at the end of the link I posted.  But the CIH search feature is quirky, so who knows why one person gets it and another doesn't.  Won't be the first time it's happened.

Sometimes it's best to just Google it---"big lots commercials i hate".

That's weird. I'll try the Google suggestion next time, thanks!

Edit: Which I didn't do with the posting of the new Kohl's ad, it's probably up here someplace too.

Yeah, that's really bad.  It makes no sense.  Didn't someone think to put a "for" in there instead of "of"?  "It's the Black Friday, it's Black Friday for all" at least makes some sense.

This kept playing all night on ID channel and every time it aired it woke me up.

There's almost a sinister quality to the sound of these awful harpies "singing"

They may be entering at the eleventh hour but could still take home the CIH worst commercial of 2014 award.

You ain't kidding.
I don't even like the look on their faces. it's like they want you to go back into the storeroom so they can eat you. And not the good way.

AH, the longer version of this "Black Fri" was on multiple times last night. Stupid lyrics and the way this lead singing loser stares at me throughout the video creeps me out.

I don't even know where the f--k a Big Lots is near me. Then again, I never really put any times looking up the locations. I'm in no rush either.

I'm pretty sure what I'm hearing is

"Every day is black Friday at big lots,
Black Friday every day from wall to wall,
So when the real Black Friday shows up,
It's the 'Black Friday'est Black Friday of all"

Still stupid. Still terrible. It may even be worse that what I thought they said.

I don't think (hope) a commercial could be worse. So far it still has my vote for CIH worst of 2014.

The latest ad has played 4 times in the last hour. I have had enough. They are not Dianna Ross and the Supremes!!! They are only very annoying. Your commercial is a major fail! I suggest firing your ad agency pronto!

Yep, I had the channel ION on with Criminal Minds reruns, the ad was on every damn commercial break
- also a few JC Penny ads with "Get your Jingle On(?)" - stupid! I simply turned the TV off.

Started Nov 1...it's Dec 20. We are now on day 49 of non stop in your face Xmas ads, the final weekend big push for retailers. I am just so freggin glad we're down to the final days of this horsesh*t, absolutely had enough with this Big Lot garbage and all holiday ads, holidays in general. 

(If you can't tell already, no I am not a fan of this time of year. I know, I'm a grinch. Thumbs Down )
