Not since Jamie on Progressive has a commercial character annoyed me as much as Jusitn, the Stop And Shop worker. The ad where he starts singing "Deck The Halls" and continues is especially irritating, because the guy has no voice, and from the way he sings, I am telling you he is straight. If you want a guy with a voice, you need to get a tenor. Now, being one myself, I know we can be difficult to work with--but we are usually right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I am happy for the actor, who got this gig, and he deserves every penny he earns, but, really, hon, do you think this will launch you into a Broadway musical? I don't think so.
The other question is are there any Stop And Shops anymore? I remember them in the New Jersey of my childhood and youth, but here in Brooklyn, let alone Manhattan, I have never spotted a single one. Queens, maybe? The Bronx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was even a Milton Bradley game called Stop And Shop. Now, I would not mind bringing that back, and playing it--I never did, but this Justin guy has got to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just what demographic do the advertisers think they are aiming for??????????????

I have not seen that one.
My current Most Annoying Commercial is the woman who wins some online auction and SCREAMS.
Adult Women who scream, I find Extremely Obnoxious.
Victoria, I agree with you, but I have not seen that ad yet. I will keep an eye out for it.
