All the Enzyte commercials are horrible, but I think the worst is the one where they’re having the pool party. Bob dives in and on getting out discovers his swim trunks have come off and his wife gives him this huge grin while he stands there with his hands on his hips beaming proudly while all their neighbors gawk. The announcer says ‘What every man deserves, a little well earned respect from the neighbors.’
Yea, a pill that gives you an erection is what makes neighbors respect you. EWWWWWW!
But, from my understanding, Enzyte is not an ED drug - it touts “natural male enhancement,” or as one on-line article rephrased it, it’s supposed to make your penis larger.
Anyway, they cracked me up precisely because of the goofy expressions on everyone’s faces - it was like farce.
LMAO. I have to check this one out. How, praytell, does that pill do that. I thought penis lengthing ended after puberty.
They used to claim it would increase size, till they were sued. Now they sell it as an ‘always ready’ ED treatment, not FDA evaulated and never actually saying ED of course.
I know, that’s part of why I found the ads so funny.
I haven’t seen any of their ads since they got in trouble with the FDA.
That’s exactly the one I came in here to mention. The woman is standing there with this bemused expression on her face, waiting for her shirt to dry. If that was me I would have bitch-slapped the whole crew.
I think it was Stehpen Colbert who did a “Media Analysis” type report on this ad. He’s talking calmly about brand identification and mascots. Then when “Digger” pulls up the toenail and starts digging the skin underneath, he just screams and screams.
I hate the King! I could not stand Jack either when he came back, but now I’m neutral.
But the #1 reason I am glad I am single: I don’t have to worry about buying jewelry. I cannot stand a single jewelry commercial. By any company. But the top three:
I do not not wish death on anyone, but can Tom Shane get a permanent case of laryngitis.* Please!
And remember the TV series The Pretender. I liked it. Reminded me of MacGyver in a way. I do not think I will ever be able to watch it again. Be glad your husband bought you anything you shallow bitch!!!
And DeBeers - they’ve built a whole new of hell for you guys!!! ‘Timeless Elegance’, ‘A Diamond Is Forever’, ‘Rape and Starve Africa So We Can Be The Fattest Bastards On The Planet’
Okay, off to bed now. Ciao!
Yeesh, definitely off to bed.
If I hear that damn SINGING PUPPY nattering about how there ain’t no fleas on him ONE MORE TIME I swear to every convenient deity that I will CLEAVE the television set in TWO.
It was cute the first time. Everyone, well, a lot of people like puppies. THe kid’s voice singing wasn’t to intolerable. The second time I thought “We get the point, mutt, there ain’t no fleas on you, shove off.” The third time I gave up and hit mute and left the room.
And I happen to have liked the singing Quizno’s sponge monkeys. It’s people like YOU SPONGE MONKEY HATERS that are to blame for freaking BOB the TALKING BABY!!! :wally
I also really really hate the ethnic McDonald’s commercials: the ones where everyone is either black or latino depending on the audience. Am I supposed to be comforted by McApartheid?
I must confess that I’ve always liked Enzyte Bob. Everyone looks so happy in that world…
Those of you hating the McD’s ads will love/hate this snippet. It appears New Zealanders love and hate equally.
The Sponge Monkeys are what got me to go to Quiznos in the first place. They’re cool with me.
The commercials aimed at parents of children who have cerebral palsey (sp?) by local attorneys disgust me as well as the ones who jump on the disease of the week or banned medication of the month.
Wait…you have Tom Shane in Missouri? For some reason I thought he was our own personal SF Bay Area hell.
That’s kind of comforting, I think, that he’s spreading his annoying voice to other audiences too…
(And, on another topic: I liked the Spongmonkeys. I miss them!)
No, Tom Shane is everywhere!
Me too. And it always struck me as mildly skeezy that they broke out the Latinos and the Spanish dialogue only to promote their spicy chicken, since, you know, they only eat spicy food.
The Spongemonkeys live here: http://rathergood.com
Let me add another annoying ad to the discussion. Geico ads. They play ads on Virginia radio stations that are tailored to the state; mentioning the state bird, state flower, etc. And there’s some lame joke about people saving so much money with Geico that the people of VA want to change the name to Geckoland. Do they make these ads for other states too?
Yes, they do it for Oregon.
Oh, I know–that’s where I found them in the first place. 
I was amazed when they made the “big time” on the Quiznos commercials, since they kinda have faces that only a mother (or another Spongmonkey) could love.
Thanks!
