Don’t you think this is all part of a larger trend toward “loser” comercials? E.g., schlub protoguy in schmucky outfit makes stupid decision (often this decision is to buy/use the product) and earns disdain/ends up all alone/has toilet paper on his foot. This is supposed to make me want the product? The panacea in my house is to shout “Loser!” at the screen. E.g., “Loser! You’re an OVEN MITT! You can’t eat a sandwich!” It’s like the toy that so perplexed the protagonist in _Big_–was it a robot that turned into a building? “Fran! You’re a LOSER! You’re speaking GIBBERISH in a pointless ad with a CHIMP!” ---

I love it. It is catchy and insipid all in compact manner. Now, to stick another jingle in your head: \* Plop, Plop, Fizz Fizz, OH! WHAT A RELIEF IT IS!\* thank you, thank you. I’ll be back later on for you to thrown stones at me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fran-drescher-old-navy-i-want-to-die/217072.md?page=5)
