As annoying as Fran is, she still beats the hell out of that old bag with the big black Harry Carrey glasses and her dog…Who the hell was that lady anyway? ---

I wonder if the writers even realize that or if they were just trying to make it cute. ---

I am incredibly impressed with Old Navy right now. They somehow got Lil Kim in clothes that cover more than one square inch of her body ---

I love Fran…I watch Nanny reruns all the time… and most of my clothes come from Old Navy. I even thought the commerical was kinda cute (if it were without Lil Kim) Guess I’m in the minority ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by luluBahrain \* > \*\*I am incredibly impressed with Old Navy right now. > > They somehow got Lil Kim in clothes that cover more than one square inch of her body \*\* It took forever for me to figure out who that was…I don’t think I’ve ever seen her dressed before. But really, Lil Kim is not a good spokesperson for clothing stores. She doesn’t wear them. It just doesn’t work. ---

Fran was in _Spinal Tap_, give her some credit! Her gimmick voice makes her cash, we are all watching the commercial, some of us buying (not me, I’m a Torrid kinda chick), and you are all debating the hip-hop-ese she uses. They’ve got you… THEY do! Masturbate to a silent screen, I care not but Fran’s a cool lady. She’s been through a lot in her life (cancer and divorce, I think, among other things). ---

I told my wife that we are never going back there after seeing this tonight. The horror…the horror… May I also add how much I hate those Lexus commercials? Who gives somebody a Lexus for Christmas? Maybe I should ask my wife for one. She has been driving me around for the past 2 days because my Hyundai is in the shop. ---

I hate that Fran commercial too. What’s up with Old Navy putting old (albeit still very attractive) women in their commercials with younger men? Speaking of car commercials, isn’t it time you owned a Jag-u-ahh? ---

To my shame, _The Nanny_ is one of my guilty pleasures–but I think Lauren Lane (C.C.) is hotter than Fran. ---

I don’t mind Fran, or that annoying techno-version of a Christmas Carol…I can look past it all, I have amazing powers of nullification… But Li’l Kim RAPPING IN AN OLD NAVY COMMERCIAL is just more than I can take. Particularly since she looks spectacularly bad while doing it. Old Navy + rap = crying baby Jesus. [sub]I still shop there, though. They have the only jeans in the world that fit me. _sob_[/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fran-drescher-old-navy-i-want-to-die/217072.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fran-drescher-old-navy-i-want-to-die/217072.md?page=3)
