Most insane advertising campaign ever (especially TV, of course)
I know there's a lot of support, if that's the word ("hatred" might be a better one) for the Ballpark Franks idiot, but I have to go with the Bizarro World "Thank you" campaign from Citi, the bank that doesn't want to be a bank no more. Others are more annoying, others are more hideous (Ditech kinda leaps to mind in both categories), and with 50 years to work with others must have been more insane, but I'll be dinged if I can think of them. Nominations?

2. I don't know about "insane" but ...
...one that (I let) drive me insane is the Geiko Commercials.
I despise their whole trip.
Frankly, the Ads remind me of some High-School seniors with
a audio/video set-up. strictly amateur.

3. They used to be insane in the good way
and also Geico would change them up before they got tiresome. Unfortunately, considering how much airtime they buy, I guess that was running into too much money. Now they put on inferior spots and just leave them on forever, like everybody else.
