> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > Taco Bell commercials are usually a ton o’ hate. Like the one where the guy asks for the special cashier to give him some sort of special deal, that is on the menu for everyone. It is the dumb white guy epitomized. I like those commercials for two reasons: 1. There is no Taco Bell in america with girls that hot working there 2. I think the “give me two bucks and it’s all free” is kinda funny ---

I just heard a new one, had to rewind it, couldn’t believe I’d heard it right the first time: “Charmin Ultra Soft - enjoy the go” roflmao. ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > 1. There is no Taco Bell in america with girls that hot working there You’d be surprised. Maybe not in large areas with plenty of employment opportunities, but I’ve seen plenty of drop-dead gorgeous fast-food employees-- including a few Taco Bell folks-- in small-town/truck stop locations while on road trips or business travel. ---

Pepper Mill has been fulminating about this one for weeks now: “Enjoy the _GO???_ Who talks like that?” My theory: Somebody in the ad agency has a philosophy that you have to use _action words_. People notice action words, and remember them, and get all excited. “Go” is the simplest and least offensive action word you can use with toilet paper. But i hate it, too. ---

Just got reminded of another terrible one… the Lexus commercials where they ask, “Have you ever driven a car with pure silver dust rubbed into the wood paneling?” No. Why the fuck would I? Nor do I want a platinum butt plug built into the driver’s seat. The two are about equally useful to me. Actually I think a built in butt plug would be a far more appealing option for a lot of people. ---

Can we include print ads? The Fresh Step ads with cats standing upright looking distressed and hopping around doing the pee-pee dance 'cause they can’t find their litter box. Because they can’t smell it 'cause Fresh Step is so great at eliminating odors, you know. You know what cats really do when they can’t find a litter box? It ain’t the pee-pee dance, that’s for sure. Better check your bedsheets before you lay down tonight, because you might find an unpleasant present. ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > The Mcdonalds “not til I’ve had my coffee” commercial is ok til the end where he tells the cashier to be quiet. Why else are you there but for coffee? Shut up. I comfort myself with the knowledge that the cashier is going to spit in his cup. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/commercials-that-you-hate/551419.md?page=6)
