mangeorge, haven’t we had this same conversation before?
Repeat after me: commercials aren’t REAL.
Right. Then why do we buy their stuff?
Repetition didn’t convince that time either.
Sorry, Guinastasia.
Because they make people laugh.
No, Fear, it’s because we believe Nivea is going to make us look 30 years younger.
See? That just made me laugh.
By that rationale, is a propaganda film not fiction either?
Btw, I still want to know what “mommy hair” is.
Sorry, I’ve been having way too much fun with other posters.
Big hair on young boys is often, in my experience, the result of mommy’s preference. No problem with me, just an observation.
I do expect a lot of denial. 
Peace,

try reading what i quoted
I’m confused by #128. 
if you read the passage i originally quoted, it seemed like you were saying people were disturbed by you knowing children. it was a joke.
That little girl is making quite a career for herself portraying pretty girls in commercials! And she is pretty, which makes the Dad’s apparent obsession with her looks seem really creepy in an incestual way. Not that Dads can’t think that their daughters are pretty, of course, but the way he says it seems almost stalker-like. In the psychological horror movie that my mind constructed from this commercial, little Jennifer has been groomed by her mother to be the prettiest, most popular girl in school so she (the mother) can live vicariously through the daughter, but this unexpectedly draws out the latent pedophile in the father, who arranges for an “accident” which kills the mother and son so he and Jennifer can be together…forever.
Somewhat related, in the sense that it’s a commercial that attempts to use “dark humor” or something like cruelty for supposed comedic effect:
There’s an ad for some phone carrier that is promoting a deal that offers unlimited free texting when someone signs up for some kind of family plan. I don’t remember the company, but the ad goes like this: A woman is in a greenhouse, pruning plants or something like that, when a man pops his head in and says, something to the effect of, “Guess what? I just signed up the whole family for unlimited texting!” The woman replies, “Oh, really? And how much is THIS going to cost us? Did it ever occur to you to discuss such a major investment with your WIFE before spending our money like that? Mother was right, I should have married [random name].” The husband replies, “It was free. We got it when we signed up for the [stupid family phone plan name].”
When I saw that ad, the first thing I thought wasn’t “Free texts? I gotta get me summa that!” It was, "Geez, she’s a BITCH! You really think you should have married someone else because your husband signed up for some texting service, lady? Do your husband a favor and punish THAT guy instead for a while. If I was married to someone who didn’t hesitate to not only think like that but blatantly announce it right to my face, I’d order her a nice gift bag full of divorce papers and directions to Hell. Though I have to admit that it’s at least a change from the usual tactic of showing the husband/boyfriend as the clueless idiot. That commercial makes me feel sorry for the poor guy for having to live with her. If she responds that way to him signing up for a texting service, imagine how she might respond to something as unforgivable as getting a parking ticket?
I think the greenhouse bitch is another AT&T commercial.
Oops, correct. This is the “don’t be like these idiots, buy our product” theme, which is somewhat better than the “use our product just like these idiots” theme.
Clearly you’ve given this a lot of thought. :dubious:
Agreed, more of the same theme - “Our customers are hilarious jerkwads. Come be one of them.”
I just found this comedy sketch, which is pretty much this commercial taken to the extreme. Just be glad they didn’t use that to advertise their product.
Well, mom did tell him she loves him. That’s one up on the “Jennifer” ad.
