midterm ads are everywhere, rank the worst ad genre

Six weeks of nonstop campaign ads and I've developed a taxonomy. Worst genre for me: the grainy black-and-white photo of the opponent with ominous music. Every single one looks like a horror film trailer.

Runners up: candidate in a flannel shirt pretending to chop wood, and the ad where the candidate's mom vouches for them. Your nominations please.
