Anyone else hate commercials? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I hate the Brawny commercial where this too masculine of a guy makes cake and spills some icing in the counter and wipes it off. It's too dramatic and obnoxious. They even made a follow-up that I've seen in the movie previews. UGH!

We sing commercials - Chanel knows all the good ones - and we do the Advantage Flea Commercial with the little white singing Lab puppy...

Hello mother
Hello Father
Fleas Ticks Mosquitos
Really Bother !

We LOVE the part where he sings....
Swimiming, Hiking ....and Tent Pitching
They're Not Biting ...I'm not Itching !

Chanel starts dancin when I start singing - Cheri tries but looks like a little spaz.....

You should be on the production end of idiotic commercials!!!!

That's what we did "in another life"!! At least with the animated ones you have control, even though the content is sometimes ridiculous ... the ones with live things are a real experience! The ones we especially hate are "locals" who are totally convinced that they have everything it takes to appear on camera!!

This is not true in most cases, however, since they are the ones paying you have no choice and there's usually no tactful way to tell a client that they look/sound like an idiot! You especially can't tell them that their children/grandchildren are not the most photogenic kids alive nor can you understand them if [God forbid] they insist you allow them to speak on camera!!

I agree about those Charmin commercials and that baby is a little odd! The dog commercials are our absolute faves!! Especially since we are beginning to see more and more Yorkies in them!

Wow, Bettyeanne, you produced commercials? My gosh you are so multi-talented!! Oh my, we have some local commercials here that are so ridiculous that you just gotta laugh! Grandkids and all! I bet you've got a million stories. C'mon, we'd love to hear them!

red98vett · 07-02-2005, 04:40 AM

ok...THESE are the commercials I CANNOT take anymore of -

MALE ENHANCMENT Commercials - especially ...Living Large BOB... who is the nerdiest dude on TV....and who I don't even want to imagine using this product...just the IDEA of that goofy smile on top of the achieved goal is enough to make me want to barf

bettyeanne · 07-02-2005, 04:55 AM

Yep! Cynthia, been there, done that, moved on!!

Seriously, it was very interesting and most of the time fun ... seems like a lifetime ago! We do lead an interesting life ... made even more interesting by "Toto, the traveling wonder dog!"

Villette ... you are absolutely right about "those" commercials!! Could you just imagine?!? That idiot "Bob" .... unbelievable ... and his "partner" too!!

OMG!!! I just saw the picture of BOB!!!! You are nuts!!

How assinine!! And that 'less is more' theme music, oh my gosh, if I hear that again I will go insane!!

Anyway Cynthia. You crack me up!

I like that one, but I hate the one with the girl talking in a man's voice.

Brutus'mama · 07-02-2005, 08:29 AM

I hate the pepto-bismol commercial where everyone is doing the heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea song! WTF!!

I hate BOB on the male enhancement commercial too! Why would anyone WANT to sleep with him anyway! And the disclaimer. "Please seek medical attention if your erection lasts more than 4 hours". WHAT?!!!!
