It’s the guy who played the lead on Eureka…Colin something-or-other, I think. Very first time I saw him I thought he was Mike too!
Yes. She’s not in all the commercials, but that one and the bowling one (“We’re winning!”). She’s got great comedic chops and pretty hot, too boot.
That’s what I thought, too. I went to the web site shown in the commercial (spelled as moc.maercecisybabelttil in the ad) and also Googled it, and it looks real.
Smuggy McSmuggerton, who is still the mute spokesman for Microsoft Surface.
There’s a followup ad for Little Babies ice cream
Oh, thanks Rick Kitchen. That’s even creepier than the first one!
4 posts above yours kiz. Pays to read the thread.
Luckily I haven’t seen most of these, but the commercial characters that annoy me are those parents holding a sleeping baby in the mobile phone store who “SHUSSSSSH!” the salesperson when she speaks to them. You’re out in public with a sleeping baby and all of society is supposed to be quiet just for you?
Are you sure you aren’t talking about The General? that insurance has a little guy dressed in green.
Unfortunately true-to-life.
Ditto on Trivago-guy hate. When he says, “Trivago,” there’s a vague hint of some foreign inflection. I can’t get my wife to hear it. Or, she wants me to shut up already about it.
The Commissioner of ESPN fantasy sports is starting to grate on me.
That, and the wife bouncing around in time with the husband, who is the only one actually carrying a baby. But yes, with the possible exception of the spot with Grant Hill (“Small forward, college and professional”), AT & T in this series routinely displays its customers as complete douchebags. I like to think I wouldn’t quite pass muster where douchiness is concerned, but hey, maybe I’m kidding myself.
In other news, I heartily endorse the deep creepiness of the No! Ugly! Wires! and Pop-Tarts commercials, although the recent series of M & M adverts are almost as bad as the latter.
I hate them, too, cannibalistic cereal does not make me want to eat it. That’s how you get Cinnamon Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease.
Also, I do not like the Ticket Oak, it’s incredibly creepy.
That creepy Toaster Strudel kid.
That or maybe Geico has started yet another ad campaign.
The one where Green sets Red up with the redhead at the party always makes me think “Haha, it’s funny because she tricked him into being murdered and eaten”
Life Alert:
He’s calling for help right now.
Your kitchen is sending smoke signals. They say “get out now.”
It’s not really a spokesperson, but there’s a not-well-thought-out commercial that makes me laugh, because it’s for “Universal Technical Institute,” or UTI. The voice-over keeps repeating phrases like “UTI can improve your life,” and “see what UTI can do for you.” No thanks.
Maybe I should start watching other channels for a while, because the one I watch most has this commercial on a hundred times a day, I swear. I’m either about to explode with the hatez or run out and BUY some Toaster Strudels.
