> [@Mrs\_Ducky](#): > > The Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercials where the cereal squares are licking and eating each other in a bowl of milk, I just find really creepy. My husband laughs at me everytime that commerical runs. Okay I just spent an enjoyable 10 minutes watching all the different ads for those - and I’m still laughing. They’re great, even if they are little cannibals. 😃 ---

That Cascade “kitchen counselor” commercial were two (adult) sisters are for some reason unloading the dishwasher. One remarks on the cloudy glasses, the other responds, “You didn’t have to come over.”; enter the kitchen counselor. They just give off such a powerful bitch vibe; there’s no way even a flawless dish detergent is going to forestall a fight between those two for more than a minute or two. ---

One remarks on the cloudy glasses, the other responds, “You didn’t have to come over.” Enter the kitchen counselor. What I find amazing is that none of these women ever say \*“Who the hell are **you** , and what the **fuck** are you doing in my kitchen?!?” \* :dubious: ---

There was a commercial about a service that costs money aimed towards the small business person. It was probably some type of banking service. Regardless; one of the persons in the add was a woman who had a mannequin business; and she says something like, "…it it won’t cost you… " then she holds up a mannequin arm and a mannequin leg. It would have been awesome if she stopped there; but NOOOO they had to dumb it down and after a pause she says “… and arm and a leg.” ---

The Geico pig commercials usually don’t bother me, except the one where the pig and a girl are parked and it becomes obvious that she’s wanting some, ah, white meat, so to speak. The pig of course is innocent and oblivious, and the girl is left wanting. Excuse me, YOU WERE WANTING TO GET PORKED BY PORK! Geico, bestiality isn’t a good look for you. ---

I just saw a GE commercial where they were demonstrating some fancy ultrasound machine with a fake surgeon in a fake operating room with a fake nurse and patient. The doctor was trying to place a central line. The patient who was being operated on confused me because his face was covered in Saran wrap. Assuming this follows the same principle as “Don’t stick your head in a plastic bag” I’m struggling to determine how this surgery will end well. “Doctor, his pulse ox is 0 and this little wiggling line has gone flat, is that supposed to happen?” ---

I hate the pig in the GEICO commercials. Seriously, what the hell in the connection between pigs and insurance? ---

> [@A\_Dodgy\_Dude](#): > > I hate the pig in the GEICO commercials. > > Seriously, what the hell in the connection between pigs and insurance? I didn’t used to hate him–I thought the original commercial with him riding in the SUV going “Wheeeeeee!” was kind of cute. But with each successive commercial I’ve disliked him more. The two current ones, where the girl in the car tries to make out with him and where he’s on the airplane, do nothing for me at all. I still kinda like the gecko, though. Go figure.
