Since when do any of the Charmin bears wear underwear?

Okay, I have about the strongest stomach around, I truly do.  But that ad made me almost vomit.  It truly did.  I am not a big boycott person but I will never buy Charmin for that reason.  Costco, Aldi, off brand, whatever.  But who the hell green lit that awful idea?

So I just uncovered an entire message board criticizing commercials, and lots of people agree about the annoyingness that is the migraine ad for Princesses and Pirates.

Every time I see this I think the girl is way too old to be playing dress up games with mommy, apparently all day and every day.  I get that it's supposed to be cute, but it's also weird.

Lawd, that Zoe Kravitz whispering commercial for crappy beer makes me stabby as hell.  ASMR?  Does that stand for "Annoying Shit Michelob Regurgitates"?  

All this time I never noticed that she is Zoe Kravitz.  The commercials are terrible.

I don't pay too much attention to the Charmin commercials, but Charmin Ultra Soft is the best toilet paper ever, I would never buy another brand unless they stop manufacturing it and then I would probably cry.

Me too.  I love it when they have it on sale at Costco.  But I do hate those commercials, especially the one described above.

Busy Phillips has one annoying tone. It sounds like a mix of Southern California with vocal fry. She’s an adult who sounds like a teenager so i find it hard to take her seriously when she speaks.

Better yet, why not do what Maytag did and get a new Mr. Whipple? Of course, no one could truly fill the shoes of the late (great) Dick Wilson, who in addition to playing Mr. Whipple for many years played The Drunk on Bewitched (and stole every scene he was in). He was also the father of Melanie Wilson (Jennifer Lyons Appleton, Perfect Strangers). Maytag had several actors throughout the years playing the iconic repairman - Jesse White and Gordon Jump, for example. Why couldn't Charmin do the same thing and get rid of those annoying cartoon bears for good???

I despise that commercial and it was gratifying that others felt the same and for the same reasons.  The child has no friends but has a mother who has time and inclination to play a fantasy game with her all day long...with costumes and props.

We are in the world of germaphobia. What's next? An in-home surgical sterilization device for EVERYTHING?  

Since everyone is encouraged to be germaphobes, I always wonder if the people who are so worried about every single germ have sex in hazmat suits.

I head cannon that the little girl is just humoring her mother until the day she can replace the prop sword with a real one and claim it was an accident and she didn't know the sword was real because she's just a little girl and can she now go live with a sane, adult parent instead of an overgrown toddler. 

I really, irrationally hate the mother in that commercial. I want to smack the smile off her face.

I hate their f'n commercial and now I have even more reason to hate K4K. I always thought this was a scam and it is. I find it hard to believe that a charity/non-profit org wouldn't keep the nicer, more upscale donated cars, for themselves (Mercedes, Lexus etc). 

On an even more depressing note: Courtney is back! Yes folks, after all these years of looking for a mate on Match.com....she is still available! So hurry guys! Courtney won't be waiting around forever 😁

"I'm Courtney, come fiiinnd me!" in the most nasally baby voice possible.

How about her male counterpart who is "Tired of games?"  Him and his dog seem like a perfect match for Courtney!  I guess he can't find her, thus his lack of enthusiasm for games.

I’d tell Junior to pick up his own damn underwear(clean hiney or not).

I hate their commercials but they really should switch out people more often in that commercial. It doesn't say much for Match.com when Courtney's been on it for a few years now and still hasn't found anyone. 

[Jaded]

The newest Trivago commercial where the T guy is checking in with the lady who gets even more annoying when she hears how much he got his room for. Just when things don't seem like they'll get worse they do because he gets snarky bordering on nasty telling her how she should have used Trivago. Considering he was arrested recently for drunk driving making him that snarly in a commercial not long after wasn't the best idea. It did make me wonder if he behaved that way with the arresting officer.

the Wayfair ad in which the wife makes up her own words to the tune of the Wayfair jingle.  ugh.  when she's in bed and she whisper sings "i can plan my room while I'm falling asleep" i get a little stabby.  Then when the husband sings the actual jingle and she says "no. not good." She really trips my bitch alert system...

There's another woman on those commercials that talks in a weird way while smiling. Courtney is indeed completely annoying as is the "games" guy. It's all the same with these stupid commercials: "I'm looking for someone with a great sense of humor...." blah blah blah.

If was in the dating game, I'd be looking for someone with a stable career, no drama filled babymamas, not on prescribed mood enhancing medication, and sane. A sense of humor is nice and all but if the person is maxed out in credit cards or in other debt and is content to work a minimum wage job in order to pay for the bar on the weeked, no thanks.

I think she's right, which may be why she was trying out other wording earlier. Based on their ads, Wayfair doesn't seem to have anything to distinguish themselves from other etailers.

[Tom Holmberg]

I can't imagine why Ms. Philips is Busy.

[Tom Holmberg]

The odd thing about Busy Philipps is that besides that ad she also. has a pro-choice PSA. Both are shot the same way with just a headshot, so you can't tell at first which spot it is.  This is besides the point, I have no idea who she is.

100% agree.  Just have your act together or be making steady progress towards getting your life together.

I just saw an ad for the Home Depot with a young girl who’s just a little too short to reach the snacks on their refrigerator’s upper shelf, so mom goes online to find a fridge with a bottom drawer.  OK, but...

Your daughter’s still growing.  She should be able to reach that shelf pretty quickly, probably sooner than you think.  And in the meantime, there’s something called a stepstool.

Or maybe put the snacks on a lower shelf and just keep the vodka at the top.

I realize that Courtney is probably a trainwreck, and fictional. But I have to admit she's really hot.

Well, apparently she's still available. If you sign up now you might have a shot. lol 

It isn't actually good advertising to use the same people (especially the hot ones). It just makes you wonder, if someone as hot as Courtney can't find someone, how crap is their service?

[chessiegal]

I met someone recently who found their current husband on Match.com 11 years ago when she was in her 50s. She said it was an instant "this is the one" when they met for coffee. So there you go.

The ad for some foot fungus cream. With talking feet. As if feet aren't disgusting enough. *shudder*

I've said before that I doubt she would have trouble getting dates; keeping them is another matter.  None of the actors in the online dating ads would have the least problem getting dates.  They should have ugly people talking about getting dates, it would be better evidence that the service worked.

I have a huge foot aversion. I hate summer because all of a sudden everyone thinks everyone wants to see their toes. YUCK! So basically, any foot cream, pedi anything, sandal commercial etc and I cannot change the channel fast enough.

The strangest part is, I loved both Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman together and individually but those Slinger commercials have made me hate them both.

This is really stupid of me, but I don't like the new commercial with the Slowsky turtles.  They don't like relying on technology for help.  So, if you use the new app, you can schedule a phone call.  So, in order to bypass using technology for help, you have to use technology?  Did they think that commercial through?

They probably figure that prospective customers want to find somebody hot. Maybe they should tell us what Courtney's issue is. Is she like Taylor Swift in Blank Space? Like creepy Emily on The Big Bang Theory? They shouldn't be leaving it to viewers' imagination.

You know, it was lame and I didn't like it, but I didn't really care about it, until the commercial with them trying to lampshade it as a portmando(?) of Liberty Mutual as a way to make you remember their name made me hate them.
