The “Colonel’s” laugh reminds me of Jon Stewart doing George W. Bush.
I am late to the thread, and I am sure that it has been mentioned before: The Sonic commercials are incredibly stupid and have discouraged me from even trying to eat there.
As for the Colonel - I assume they are trying to mimic the King to make a mascot/caricature.
they are failing miserably.
The KFC commercials make me think KFC must have hired Adam Sandler as their Marketing Director.
I’m hating the new Quilted Northern commercials I hear at 4:30 a.m. when I’m getting ready for work.
Old commercial: Lady comes out to find her house has been TP’d and neighbor kid hiding in the bushes (I think…I hear the ad but don’t often see it) and asks the kid what brand of toilet paper his mom uses. “Quilted Northern?” he upspeaks. Cue angelic music.
I got tired of hearing it three times in 30 minutes every day but it wasn’t hateful.
New commercials: Poor Pookie (or something like that…apparently the name of some decorative ceramic animal object in the bathroom) sees everything. She can’t close her eyes to what goes on in here. But you can forget all about Quilted Northern.
I really don’t get how this is supposed to make me want to use Quilted Northern but thinking about inanimate creatures watching animated creatures doing their business is just…too stupid or gross or something. And Quilted Northern has been my TP of choice for 35 years.
They just haven’t filmed the “Wake up next to the Colonel” ad yet. 
The whole eating outside in my car shtick discouraged me from trying to eat there. I just don’t eat in my car.
When people go to the drive-up window at McDonalds, Burger King or Wendy’s, where do you think most of them eat?
That bladder control commercial with the pink cartoon bladder dragging the woman around, presumably to the bathroom, is getting to me.
Once she takes the pills, the bladder is tamed, but it still sits there at the table staring at her with big oogy eyeballs. It creeps me out.
I hate new Yoplait woman with her annoying French accent. That is all.
Hannah can go fuck her talking horse.
^Some people would pay to see that. :eek:
Most, perhaps, but if I get food from a drive-through window, I take it either home or to work to eat. I never eat in the car. (I don’t want the car to acquire that odor of french fries. The idea of a drive-in like Sonic never appealed to me. Perhaps in earlier decades when cars were roomier, it was more appealing to eat in the car. But with the limited space in most cars, it seems unpleasant.
Quick, someone illustrate Hannah and the horse so they will go the way of Erin Esurance! (Not that I had a problem with Erin Esurance…her ‘adventures’ were sooooo much better than the lame IT department ads that replaced hers.)
I don’t know why DirecTV didn’t just stick to the commercials that compared cable companies to annoying things (like gangs of clowns).
I have always loathed the Orbit gum British twit girl:
An announcer was given copy which included the sentence: "See a man race a porpoise! " Instead he said, “See a man rape a horse!”
Cialis is not Viagra.
Viagra is supposed to give you a boner in the next 30 minutes or so - I’m not exactly sure.
Cialis, on the other hand, is supposed to work on the causes of disfunction so that you function more normally. You don’t sit around with a boner, you take it so if you become aroused, you get a boner, like normal function. Take it in the morning so you can get boners whenever throughout the day.
Ugh. Yes and yes. There are several of these commercials now - including subtitles! And a cow with a male voice? And I’ve never heard a French person speak English so garbled as to need subtitles. Why not just speak French then? At least the actor won’t sound and look like such an idiot. But - I guess you could say the commercials work, as I don’t just remember the stupid commercials but know the product they’re for. Though I’ll never buy it, because the commercials are so annoying.
I find the KFC Colonel disturbing on many levels. I get the distinct feeling he’s mocking the very people who are supposed to want the food. 3 chicken finnnggers, taters and graaaavy, I throw in a biscuit and a big ole cookie.
yeee hawww. And when was the last time anyone filled up their car for $5. when the Colonel opened his first restaurant?
it is never appealing to watch two twits in a car making stupid conversation about their unappetizing Sonic meals.
A line in * Cracked: * “The food here is absolute poison! And such small portions!”
