This one I know is regional - but I'm sure the Southern Ontarians know what I'm talking about... the Milk Rap commercial - Got Milk? More milk??? The rapping farmers? I cannot stand that commercial!!!!

Holy Guacamole, just saw a commercial earlier... it started out as any other laxative commercial, people smiling and dancing in meadows, etc. and then they broke into it with this "News Flash"... Senokot is out of stock?!?

"When Can I Get My Senokot?"

DJ, we get that commercial here in Buffalo too. I kind of liked it at first but I'm sick of it now.

Okay, I have seen the "lean Cuisine" commercials quite a few times now. It just hit me, what on Earth are those women doing sitting on a log (or rock or whatever) on a farm, watching some cows, discussing their dinner of the night before? What? that makes no sense...

Have you seen the Universal City commercial talking about all the great fun? The last shot is a parade and some super hero is sitting in a car and this big old woman is behind him cheering and her really large bosoms are just shaking back and forth. Well the way it's shot it looks like the super hero is between the bosoms being bounced around!

I think the commercial is for Six Flags. A bus pulls up to an ordinary street, and this guy gets out and starts dancing. What I don't like is the guy who is dancing and drives this bus to a fablulous fun fun land, looks creepy and dead. He doesn't look right.

LOL. I know which woman you're talking about Texannie. I think its in slo-mo too so you can get full view of the shaking.

That looks like the same woman who's on that commercial where there's a bunch of people in a classroom setting, and they are learning how to praise, hug, etc their kids (using a dummy for practice). At the end of the commercial, she has the "kid" smooshed into her bosoms in a giant bear hug, rocking back and forth with a wide mouthed smile going on.

It is Universal, Orlando. Something like lose yourself or forget yourself, in the fun of the Universal Theme Park. I sort of like the part with the dad and son who rip off their shirts and pretend to be the Hulk. I don't like the part with a table of model-type women literally stuffing their faces at a restaurant table.

There is this deodorant commercial, I think it is Secret, where they say something like "we all do it!" and then they show women raising an arm in all sorts of casual settings (walking down the street, dancing, whatever) and sniffing their underarms while supposedly no one around them notices? I don't think so.

Saw the best commercial this week end. It was for an eye drop of some sort.

It showed the Vemeer painting of "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" in an entrance way hanging above a table.

A woman comes in and sets her purse down in front of the painting. The girl in the painting has red eyes...so she reaches down and takes the eye drops out of the woman's purse!

I thought it was very well done and would not be surprised to learn that it was Scarlett Johanson playing the "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" in the commercial.

PS Finally saw the Quiznos creatures...and they were every bit as awful as folks said they were.

The newest Burger King commercial not only quelled any desire (as if I had one to start with) to have a burger, it nearly made me lose my appetite all together last night....

Its an office setting. One guy has made the "lunch run" and is passing out the burgers. One lady's order seems to be missing, and she describes what she orders. The guy, who has mayo dripping down his chin goes, "oh, I guess they messed up the order." (I guess we're led to believe he ate her burger on the way back from picking up the orders).

She looks at him, and goes up on him and licks the mayo off his chin, then walks away!

Ugh Ugh Ugh! That is just downright disgusting!

How in the world do they think that is going to make me hungry for a burger?

How about the steak sauce commercial where the guy take his bite of steak and wipes sauce off the woman's face,then eats it?
What is with all the nasty ads lately?

... or the one where a girl walks up to a guy in a restaurant and gives him this big kiss because he has some dijon mustard on the corner of his mouth.

I saw a commercial that had me laughing recently. It was for a Dairy Queen Blizzard. A Dad is carrying a baby in one of those baby slings that you wear across your chest, so that the baby faces out. Anyway the baby tries to take a bite of his Blizzard and the Dad moves it away telling him no. The baby then proceeds to kick the Dad "right were it hurts"! This brings the Dad to his knees and he's bowing his head, well the baby then throws it's head back and "headbutts" the dad! I was ROFL!

Every time I see this commercial for, I think, Quaker something-or-other, I always giggle. Dad and his kids are fishing in the middle of a lake, and Dad says, "The word is tentacles, son." LOL!

I simply lothe these commercials. I find them fake and it seems like they are talking down to anyone who shops there. Everyone on their commercials is a simple all-american-person, many with western accents. Maybe its just me, but whenever I see those commercials I cringe. Does anyone else agree?
