The current Charmin radio commercial team should not only be fired, they should be drummed out of the industry. 1. Radio commercial - “Mooooom” “Honey” Woman’s voiceover - “In our house we go, a lot…” No, no, no; this is just SO WRONG! Saying, "In our house we use a lot of TP could refer to the # of people living there. A Brady Bunch or Eight is Enough househould will use a lot of TP. Saying we go a lot has a much different connotation; maybe Mom should take some cooking lessons? :eek: 2. [My hieney is so Charmin shiny](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1du-Gl4UmqU). Ummm, unless I’m being _very_ intimate with someone I really don’t care to know how shiny your hieney is. ---

My first thoughts were the creepy toenail fungus commercials. [Lamisil](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h1O7-r7Wrw)(where they pry up a toenail–eww!) [Jublia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Ybz4Tkflk)(Toe in football uniform–attached to the rest of the foot). Also eww. Some people find the [Quiznos Spongmonkeys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuPTZWhz46M) creepy, but I find them oddly charming (probably because I’m a fan of the old Rathergood web videos). ---

This commercial is from Australia, for the Dickens beverage company. They are introducing a new hard cider. It’s not so much creepy and kinky, like the Quizno’s ad. "Surprise your girlfriend with a Dicken's cider" Say that fast. ---

That kid in the first fios commercial creeped me out. The one where he lectures a bunch of women is nauseating. Hush your mouth and respect your elders. ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > That kid in the first fios commercial creeped me out. > The one where he lectures a bunch of women is nauseating. > Hush your mouth and respect your elders. Never heard of these commercials, but [the one you are calling “nauseating”](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/wXgc/fios-by-verizon-binge-weekend-featuring-gaten-matarazzo) has a medical condition. But still is a popular star of an incredibly popular TV series. [He’s making 2 million dollars this year](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5544273/Stranger-Things-Galen-Matarazzo-15-lands-1-200-cent-pay-rise-season.html). How 'bout you? ---

> [@burpo\_the\_wonder\_mutt](#): > > Was this before or after Dave Bowman arrived? After, since she asked “Where’s David.” That is the most disturbing 2001 derived ad I’ve ever seen. Notice she dropped the spoon on the floor just like the wine glass in the movie? They should have done blood tests for whoever came up with that ad, since they must have been on something nasty. ---

^ Bad speakers on my end; it sounded like “Stephen/Steven” the first half dozen times. I had a very uneasy moment when she asked “Where’s David?” and the little door on the robot opened. ---
