emma675 January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 Why do all commercials for bladder control products for women have to involve how great people can dance while wearing them? I've seen two different ones today (Tena and Always) that have themes of how great ladies can dance around while wearing them. I don't get it. If I had to wear those, I would be more concerned with making sure the product kept my pants dry and it didn't look like I was wearing a diaper. I don't think "can I dance around while wearing it?" would be on my list of priorities. 2 Link to comment
smittykins January 4, 2015 Share January 4, 2015 This is exactly the one I was talking about. Was that supposed to be sexy or provocative? Ewwwwwwwwwwww.Which begs the question: how did a human man end up with a marionette wife? Were there no female humans interested in him? 2 Link to comment

If it takes destruction of property for them to communicate, this couple is in trouble. Shame on them for using Faith Hill's music that way. She oughta sue. I read that as "spinsters".

With all due respect, InDueTime, that Faith Hill song tears me up inside every time I hear it. I will concede, however, that the song is not really appropriate for that particular PSA. I read that as "spinsters". Those are something that city folks just don't get, bilgistic. 2 Link to comment
St. Claire January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 This commercial only goes in the "annoy" range, not full-on rage. The new KFC commercial with the kids who are getting all despondent over their parents serving a rotisserie chicken makes no sense to me. They show mom and dad preparing to serve the chicken, then the plethora of rotisserie chicken containers. Oh my goodness! We are depending too highly on serving roasted chicken as our go-to meal! Let's shake things up by buying...a bucket of chicken. Full disclosure- I am one of those "oh, I'll just grab a rotisserie chicken and do up some sides" moms. Not every week, but a lot. If left to my own devices, I might end up feeding my kids constant rotation of chicken with mac&cheese/ham steak and pierogies/pasta/quesadillas. 5 Link to comment
emma675 January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Everyone else's snacks have to be altered just so these self-centered two don't get tempted OMG, the rage I felt on seeing that yogurt commercial! Those bitches were shrinking everyone elses snacks so they wouldn't be tempted themselves--what gives them the right?? If I want to eat a 1,000 calorie cookie while you sit there with your crappy yogurt, that's my business. 6 Link to comment
Bruinsfan January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 Especially wife/marionette in her nightie.... I swear the motion she goes through in that commercial looks like what Sam Raimi uses for levitating possessed people in his horror movies. 2 Link to comment
Bastet January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 I loathe the "Values. Pass it On" commercials, and this one is no exception (although I've always liked that song). I'm not glued to my phone the way he is - in fact, I hardly ever use mine - but if I dropped it in the sink, I'd be pissed. And if I'd scooped it out quickly, possibly salvaging it, and someone tossed it back in and then prevented me from getting to it? Hell, no. This is not the time for her to address their problems, period, and certainly not the way to go about it. What a stupid ad. As usual. 3 Link to comment
scarletine January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 This commercial drives me bonkers. First off, who the hell strokes their hairy armpits after putting on deodorant? Secondly, the sound of all those fingers snapping drives me up the wall. I also looked at the website for this stuff, and have to wonder why the women's version is shaped like a dildo. 2 Link to comment

callmebetty January 5, 2015 Share January 5, 2015 This commercial could go in two places but for me it's this one. The Jimmy John's commercial with the the mom carrying the screaming baby and then her two hellions running around attacking complete strangers. Instead of dragging their asses home and grounding them, she get's the brilliant idea Jimmy John's will fix everything. Because miraclously, screaming baby is quiet and the two hellions are dressed for church. But even worse the end shows the mom eating the sandwich and one of the hellions eating a huge cookie and the other a bag of chips, baby has somehow disappeared. How is this supposed to make me buy sandwiches there? Because there is no way my brats are going to be eating cookies and chips to reward them for there shitty behavior. Complete fail on Jimmy John's part in my opinion. 5 Link to comment

TattleTeeny January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Oy, catheter commercials. The latest I've seen has an old cowboy on it who tells of all the rugged pain he's been through in his cowboy career. He wants no more of it, especially when he has to "catheter" (apparently it is a verb). Also, I notice there are many catheter commercials--as well as ones about bathtubs with doors and "I've fallen and can't get up" buttons--on the crime channels! Both ID and CI.

CoderLady January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Do old people love crime? Nope.

Extra points for the good guys doing it by using much, much more brain power than firepower. 3 Link to comment

heebiejeebie January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Not sure why. So much to hate in the Progressive "Flo" ads. But when she is surprising people at the service center I hate that she calls a toddler who looks about two....holding her own baggie of treats; "little tiny baby". I know it is irrational but it just makes me grit my teeth. When I'm not yelling at the tv "no you dumb ass, a little tiny baby is swaddled and has to be held a certain way". 3 Link to comment
Watcher0363 January 6, 2015 Share January 6, 2015 Well, I should have been clearer: do advertisers find that an older demographic enjoys watching true-crime documentary shows? Well my dad has been watching the same Perry Mason and Ironside shows for the last 20 years. I am now in my fifties. If I make it to my seventies I am pretty sure I will be watching endless reruns of Magnum PI, JAG, and NCIS. God only knows what newly discovered condition I might need relief from. Or what botched procedure and or faulty medical device installed in my body that I need to sue someone over. I am pretty sure my slash robot sex nurse can handle my slips and fall and other more personal needs. That is, if it is not defective, in which case call 1800BADBOTS. 5 Link to comment
