The bears wiping their asses with Charmin Ultra TP.
I love that commercial. I've loved all of their animated bear (shit in the woods) commercials. They are soooo cute.

But I hate the Snuggle fabric softener bear. He's just whiny and annoying. At least the Charmin bears are happy, dancing bears. :D

What commercials do you like right now? Hate right now?

I hate the Quizno's Subs kid. Talking babies freak me out. :scared:

7. I fucking hate all advertising.
Does Coke really need to advertise? Do the multinationals think we won't buy cars or go see "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" unless we have thousands of car and movie ads flapping their gums in our faces 24/7? Or toilet paper? Do they really think that we'll forget to buy shit unless we have a constant reminder to do so?

That being said, I like the Mentos commercials. Y'know, cuz, like, they're the Freshmaker...and I think that sometimes we all need a reminder that Mentos is indeed the mothafuckin' Freshmaker.

Can't stand that idiot. If he's the duck, we need Elmer Fudd and his shotgun in the ad.

IT'S DUCK SEASON!!

13. But TOILET PAPER! I mean...
there are SOOO many choices! I need someone to tell me which to buy!

(Actually, the brand I buy is non-advertised Dollar General Store brand generic stuff. It doesn't stop up the septic tank. :D Northern Quilted TP required the Roto Rooter guy to visit twice in one year.)

11. On the Other Hand...I LOVE the K-9 Advantix Commercial
With the cute, cute, CUTE puppy singing Allan sherman's "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" with new words.

I get all teary-eyed even looking at that commercial, it is just sooooo damn cute!!

But, then ... I totally love dogs!

Another commercial I like is the Kibbles and Bits commercial, where the dog gets up and starts dancing all over the place. I keep trying to make my dog watch that commercial, and tell her she needs to learn how to do that!! :P

23. Hey, Maddy!!
Good to see ya on the boards again!!

Isn't that commercial just THE BEST, though??

I just totally LOVE that commercial!! I already use K-9 Advantix, anyway, on my two doggies...but, if I didn't, THAT commercial woulda probably gotten me to switch, just because it is SO damn cute!!

Then again, as I say...I totally LOVE dogs. I'm all about dogs. If I could...I would open a no-kill shelter for dogs and spend the rest of my life just caring for the most deserving of all God's creatures...DOGS!!

The canine species, in my opinion, is by far the superior species in this planet. Ok, so we can invent rockets and cars and airplanes...but we still haven't figured out such a BASIC concept as universal, unconditional love. the Canine species...on the other hand...knows that concept, and knows it well.

I just sincerely love dogs!!

Like I say, if I could have what I really wish for out of this life...that is what I would have. Enough money to take care of myself and the dogs for the rest of my life...and no more. I need, or want...for no more than that.

I would love to dedicate myself to caring for the most deserving and best creatures on this Earth.

for one thing, they NEVER forget to say THANK YOU when you do something for them. Unlike these fucking corporations and ball-breaking ass-riding bosses out there...who NEVER say thanks for jack shit. And just take you for everything they can get.

I so wish I could leave the thankless corporate rat-race behind and never again join it. And do something really WORTHWHILE with my life.

12. I liked the Snuggle bear -
until he began to talk.

However, I do like the Serta talking sheep. I dunno why. :shrug:

15. The bear one I find mildly disgusting. The Sea-World Zebra
for the San Diego Sea World is maybe only run locally, but it is one of the funniest I have seen in a while.

No mater how cute the animation, the thought...Ewww.

19. If I see another John Basedow
commercial with him doing those ridiculous abdominal posings I swear I am finding out where that *ucker lives and I will....... :mad: Those are so friggin' annoying.

On a lighter, some infomercials on at 2:00 in the morning have such bad acting it's almost like watching comedy. :)

27. He is a freak of nature!
I can't STAND him, something just looks abnormal on him.

Have we all forgotten about smiling Bob from the Enzyte commercials? What annoying commercials they make with him!

30. For one thing
he never stands correctly. He is always crunching his abnominals while standing. It is so obvious. And the people he has on there giving "testimonials" look wierd as well. And the commercials are so poorly done. In one, they didn't even take the time to remove the green background where graphics were supposed to be.

25. Talking babies and monkies... the most divisive issue in America
Either you like them or you don't. I have yet to meet someone who only "sort of" likes or dislikes talking babies and monkies. If liking or disliking them became a political issue, a civil war would ensue.

I'd be fighting for the HTBAM (Hates Talking Babies And Monkies) side because I think they are an abomination to creativity. :mad:

28. I miss the Quizno's commercials with those funky singing animals
WTF were they anyway? They sang "We love these subs, coz they are good to us..." and then "They got a pepper bar". Those commercials were a hoot, and they lasted maybe a month.


I think the TAG Body Spray commercials are sort of cute, like the one where the guy goes to pick up his date and the girl's mother is all over him.

I also like all of the "Roaming Gnome" commercials for Travelocity.


But I despised Geico's "but there's good news, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance" campaign. They had such stupid scenarios, like a reporter on the scene of an erupting volcano announcing the horrible damage--then she breaks to say how she saved so much on her car insurance. I'd be like "My freaking village was just destroyed, people are dead, etc. I don't give a bleep about your stupid car insurance!":mad:

29. I loved Snuggle when I was a kid. Now he has a grating voice
that sounds snarky. I don't think I like Snuggle anymore.

33. I like the United Airlines ads with the Gershwin music
Edited on Sun Jun-26-05 10:53 AM by nuxvomica
I believe it's Rhapsody in Blue. The cartoons are drawn in a relaxing New Yorker-ish style and together with the music they are just plain beautiful.

edit: You can see them here:
