Commercials I Just Don't Get

I'm creeped out by all those ED commercials but especially the one with the couple in bathtubs on the roof of an apartment building.

Now I know in large cities there are pools etc on the roof. How that works is something that baffles me, the same way the pools on the third floor of hotels baffles me. But back to the crazy ass commercial. The couple aren't in the same tub, which is what you'd figure if you are going to be "getting it on" thanks to some ED med..right?

Nope!

They are in his and hers bathtubs, HOLDING HANDS!

Uh..yeah...

Who was the brains behind this ad? Because really..IT MAKES NO SENSE...I also want to know what guy is going to take this drug and then go to the opera with his wife and then jump in the rooftop tub?

My brain hurts thinking about this commercial.

Kellogg's Is Creeping Me Out

Have any of  you paid attention to the latest Kellogg's commercial? Have you heard the song they are using in it?

OMG it is Yummy Yummy Yummy, that horrid Ohio Express song from way back when.

The little kids now have love in their tummies.

Uh, that is so very wrong!!

The song itself is wrong on so many levels.

1. It is the worst bubblegum song EVER!!

2. It is also the worse earworm EVER!!

3. There's only one way I can think of that anyone can get love in their tummies and well..I don't want to explain that to a 5 year old.

Please make this commercial go away. It was bad enough when I heard this song on The Pickle, now it is on my telly daily!!!!

Two Commercials I Can Do Without

Radio commercials can be either really amusing or really awful. Today I'm going to go off on 2 really awful ones that PH, Fishy, or whatever assorted nickname I'm using for him has done recently.

The first one is for a bbq place in Smithfield, PA. The commercial has him turning into a piggie when he eats bbq.

Oh dear.

And our dear Fishy, morphs into a piggie quite nicely complete with snorts.

Uh...erm...I hope he hasn't sprouted a cute little curly tail too.

But seriously, I never wanted to hear him snort. That wasn't on my list of priorities. Though I have to admit that after I groan I usually belly laugh long after the commercial is over.

Ah well, I suppose it served it's purpose. I do remember it. However not for the right reasons.

The other commercial is for a furniture store. For the life of me, I can't remember which one, but he's talking like he's "Da Man." The voice alone is enough to put me on the floor clutching my stomach. But the commercial had to have someone say to him, "Do you know you aren't wearing any pants?" Why? Because he lost them buying furniture somewhere else.

Enter visual of Fishy sans pants.

Oh dear...

Nuff said on that subject. Make these two commercials go away before I explode!
