The new commercial for Brawny paper towels when all the Brawny guys singing "Lean on Me" is just weird to me!

There was a clown commercial that had me falling down laughing. It was about a clown that stepped on something sharp and started screaming and jumping around then the kids all got freaked out.....gah, now I can't remember what it was.

My alltime favorite is Orbits Dirty Mouth commercials

"Pickle You, Kumquat"

"who you calling a cootie queen, you lint licker!"

"What the French, Toast?"

Escapee-that clown commercial was for Walmart.

Love that Orbits commercial too!

This commercial skeeves me-it's for carpet cleaning and when the boy tells the mom "Toby" has a new trick and it's the dog dragging his butt across the carpet. The mom screams "TOBY!!!"

From E online:
Her name is Lindsay Lohan and she's a delusional narcissist milkaholic?

Yes, folks, apparently this is the world we're living in: LiLo has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the baby-loving ad men over at E-Trade, alleging that they unlawfully encroached on the Lohan brand by having the gall to name the milkaholic tot in their talking-baby Super Bowl commercial—get this—Lindsay. The nerve!

This is what happens when you suddenly have too much spare time on your hands.

As for how she's justifying the exorbitant figure? Well, apparently that's what Oprah and Madonna would ask for, ergo that's what Lohan feels entitled to, too.

Her attorney, Stephanie Ovadia, says Lohan warrants the same single-name recognition as those superstars, and claims that using "Lindsay" as the name for the milk-guzzling boyfriend stealer in the commercial is capitalizing on her fame.

"Her name was used for the commercial benefit of E-Trade and she should be compensated fairly for that," Olvadia told E! News. "She's very upset about it. They did not have permission nor her consent. It's not something that she would have agreed to."

Broken down, Lohan's attorneys, who filed the lawsuit in Nassau County Supreme Court Monday, say the spot violates a New York state civil rights law that used her name and characterization without approval—or, more importantly, compensation.

Lohan's team is seeking $50 million in exemplary damages, and another $50 million in compensatory damages.

"We actually haven't seen the complaint or gotten documentation from her people, so we don't have a comment as of yet," E-Trade spokeswoman Allison Jeannotte told E! News.

Presumably they will, just as soon as they're served. And stop laughing.

My grandparent's last name was Lindsay....if they were still alive I'd say they need to start hiding their assets. When I saw that commercial, Lindsay Lohan did not come to mind, that's for sure.

That article on Lindsay Lohan is downright funny. I wonder how Lindsay Wagner feels about Lohan owning the name Lindsay? I also did a IMDB search on just "Lindsay" and got a hit of 12 shows where a character was named Lindsay. Is she going to sue all those shows too? And if you look her up by first/last names, the only "alternative" name that is listed that she appears under is one with a different middle name. Talk about frivolous lawsuits!

Maybe it's associating the name "lindsay" with an 'a-holic'...I mean, I can see the resemblance there.

Perhaps if they'd called her a diaper-rash-crotch?

ROFLMAO or maybe if the baby was a red head, bumbling, obviously under the influence...Maybe if they'd put a fur coat on her and had her scrapping it out with another baby or gave her some really terrible movies to act in or songs to sing then I could understand the infringement...

I don't think Lindsay Lohan has a leg to stand on, legally speaking. The case should be dismissed immediately.

Costa, I used to wear my old boyfriend's Lagerfeld cologne, too. Oh, that brings back memories.

Dipo, I searched for the Denny's commercial you mentioned. It is funny:

I agree that commercial is hilarious. The first time it was on, I rewound the recording a couple of times so I could watch it again.

omg, check this out! The second video shows how they did that commercial with the Old Spice guy. He actually sits (while showing the oyster) and rides a catapault thing up onto the horse! I thought it was all done with computer aided graphics or something! So it was all basically done with one take. Amazing!
