> [@Grumbacher\_Red](#): > > Yes! Not cute from little kids, and all the way intolerable from grown folk, even if said grown folk are your kids. > > Example: The one that has the teeny petite mom who has raised 3 (or is it 4?) Bluto brute slobs, who either, a) come to her house and act like a gang of hopped-up preschoolers, or b) their over-grown asses still live at home with her making pre-school level messes, which, either way is certainly nothing to be proud of. One that still makes me wax wroth even though it’s from years ago is the one where the kid sneaks up on his mom and sprays her with a shaken two-liter bottle of soda… and they have a nice giggly squirt fight with the soda and the sink sprayer until she lovingly dabs off his nose with a paper towel. So, soda all over her, him, the floor, the counter, the walls, the cupboards, the small appliances and god knows what else… yeah, you’re gonna need more than a paper towel unless you just want to leave a layer of sticky smear all over your whole kitchen. ---

The new Flipp commercial where the couple who can’t stay on budget get schooled by the cashier about this app that finds sales for you. OK, sounds like it could be useful. But the look on their faces when they find out it’s free was overacting in the extreme, they look like they won the lottery and reached orgasm simultaneously. I’ve seen better acting in elementary school plays. ---

My guy bestie detests the Lee “freedom pants” commercial, where the protagonist sails through various events easily with his oh-so-speshful pants, finally ending his day sleeping in his vertical bed with his “Lee woman”. My friend says he has no need of freedom in his pants and the whole idea of it skeeves him out. Why can’t they just say the pants are a relaxed fit and leave it at that? ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > That’s real? :eek: You wouldn’t shit me, would you? Oh, that is so utterly vile. Bimbo with an eating disorder who swallows loads of laxatives to ‘keep thin’ -check. Can’t control her bowels any more, leaves in the middle of a party to drop a huge load in the toilet -check. Calls her turds ‘the devil’s donuts’- check. Producer she’s hoping to impress waltzes in to snort up some coke- check. He thinks, ‘my, her shit smell like rose petals, I think I will put her in a movie!’- check. Just vile all the way around. (not that I don’t think there is no market for this, but making a commercial and such an icky one!..I’m sorry, I’m old fashioned, this is bad taste (ok, bad smell). I wouldn’t be surprised someday to see actual SHIT in a toilet, on tv. ---

My current hate is the iPhone7 commercial with the balloons and that horribly twee song. The song that shows it isn’t just women that attempt to sing in that breathless style. The song that sounds like Buddy Elf wrote it on the fly. (I love you I love you I love you). ---

I’m getting really annoyed with that Subway commercial about some kind of turkey sub … … not because I’m a cook, but because I’m observant. The commercial shows the hands of a “chef” laying the ingredients onto the bun. The turkey is on the top of the bun, and then we see the hands putting the cheese on top of the turkey, and then the hands fold the sandwich together … … and once we see the completed sandwich, now the cheese is on the other side of the turkey. No, really. As we see the sandwich being assembled, once the sandwich is closed the cheese should be between the meat and the veggies. But once it’s folded together, suddenly the cheese is between the meat and the top of the bun. ---
