The only thing I have found funny about the end of Friends is the plan of TVLand to cancel their 9-10PM block, and instead show their staffers watching Friends. For the end of Seinfeld, they went to a black screen. I never got into the show. BTW: Budweiser has finally pulled the Superbowl commercials of the farting horse and crotch-grabbing dog acknowledging that they were less than appropriate. I didn't think they got the fallout they could have given that their commercials were overshadowed by the "wardrobe malfunction."}

You know, I really really hate that commercial where they are showing a person drowning, and they say "if your friend was in trouble, you'd help, wouldnt' you?" Its an anti drug/substance abuse commercial.... Don't they know what its like to talk/scream/cry/reason/cry some more till you have nothing left in you, only to have that self-destructive person blow you off and keep on doing it? These commercials put all the responsibility on the abuser's loved ones, and that just bothers the heck out of me.

Excellent post Whoami, I couldn't agree more. I hate the Tim Horton's ads. First there was the idiot that drops the cup and chases it for miles just to play the roll up the rim game. Now there's a guy that crashes a wedding shower and embarrasses his girlfriend just to get an egg salad sandwitch.

I saw an ad on a billboard yesterday for beer. On the can it said: "Available In Bars, Just Like you Are." Man, did I laugh. Only thing is, I didn't catch the brand of beer it was advertising!

Although I am getting a kick out of the Miller vs Budweiser debate ads...I think Budweiser is wrong! It doesn't matter that Miller was purchased by a South African Brewery...it was BORN in America and therefore still eligible to be "President" of beers!

I really like the cell phone ads (I don't remember what carrier) that are set in a kindergarten with the teacher telling her students things like, "Oh no, you went over your macaroni limit for today" and "You can only bounce this ball a certain number of times, and you went over...." The way the teacher acts in the macaroni commercial really cracks me up! I don't have a cell phone, so I can't really get offended about cell phone users being compared to kindergarteners who cannot understand the complexities of cell phone rates....

Well, there's an ad playing on a radio station I listen to with the same theme, Kimmo. The son tells his Mom he's putting her on a mother/son chat plan & she has to guess how many minutes they'll need next month. It's really hilarious.

I like those too, both the tv and the radio ads. They are for the same company, but I don't know which. I like the MSN butterfly/helper commercials.

It may be a regional commercial but has anyone else seen the new commercial for St. Joseph Aspirin with the "pump your blood" jingle going in the background? I'm dating myself here - but I would swear that the jingle is from an episode of Happy Days when Potsie was trying to pass college biology. Can anyone else confirm or deny or am I just crazy (distinct possiblity lol).

I saw the current ad with Shaq; he's pumping iron; etc. But when they show him pumping iron, etc; they don't show his face. A few other times in the commercial they don't show his face; just someone who is dressed like him. Anyone noticed this?

Tash: YES! I have been saying the same thing. DH just looks at me. ETA: Found it! Potsie's "Pump Your Blood" song (Episode #142 Potsie Quits School) FONZIE Okay, like we rehearsed it...Cunningham, harmonica. Malph, bones, Lori Beth, kazoo. Jennifer, beaker.The name of this tune is "Pump Your Blood". Hit It. One, two, one, two, three ... POTSIE GOES TO HEART ON DESK AND POINTS WITH HIS FINGER, SINGS. POTSIE "Pump, pump, pumps your blood. The right atrium's where the process begins, Where the C02 blood enters the heart Through the tricuspid valve to the right ventricle The pulmonary artery and lungs. Once inside the lungs it dumps its carbon dioxide And picks up its oxygen supply Then it's back to the heart through the pulmonary vein Through the atrium and left ventricle." ALL JOIN ON CHORUS. ALL (SING) "Pump, pump, pumps your blood. POTSIE (SING) "The aortic valvels where the blood leaves the heart Then it's channeled to the rest of the bod The arteries, arterioles, and capillaries too Bring the oxygenated blood to the cells The tissues and the cells trade off waste and CO 2 Which is carried through the venules and the veins Through the larger vena cava to the atrium and lungs And we're back to where we started in the heart. ALL JOIN ON CHORUS. ALL (SING) "Pump, pump., pump, pumps your blood" POTSIE (TO PROFESSOR) Well? PROFESSOR What's this? The Zigfield Follies ... ? Weber, I apologize. I'm giving you an "A". FONZIE PUTS HIS ARM AROUND THE PROFESSOR. PROFESSOR (CONT’D) An 'A" plus. POTSIE One more time!

Has anyone seen the commercial for Tech Effect on History Channel? They show a woman sitting at what looks like a kitchen table, and she's talking about how someone was "bored to death" by someone else talking about a vacation or something. Then they show a freshly dug grave and a headstone. I guess the gist of it is, you won't be bored to death if you watch Tech Effect. Personally, I find it tacky to make a joke out of graves, headstones and death. Especially as an advertising campaign. Now, there's another product (a sauce or something?) that has a "bored to...." campaign. But its "bored to tears, bored stiff, etc." No bored to death. Now that one is more amusing.
