Probably, since Mad Men was cancelled.
How about the mental image of that elephant gettin’ freaky with the squirrel sisters? ![]()
‘Mad Men’ simply ran its course. All the stories were told and when it came to the end of the 60’s, it was done. It wasn’t ‘cancelled’.
I have no objections to seeing Jon Hamm as often as possible. ![]()
I’d like to see the “movies” he’s supposedly acting in, in the commercials. Especially the one where he’s a mounted policeman.
Regarding the Haribo “board meeting” - I think it’s cute. Then again, I’ve only seen it once. If it showed up every break, I’d probably be flinging shoes at the screen.
I posted in the other thread about this. I just can’t stop looking at the actors’ perfect teeth. They are not eating a lot of gummi bears.
Didn’t Subway do the ‘adults as little kids’ thing once?
There’s a trend in advertising to show adults acting like children. You can see it in this Breyers commercial with the line, “I’m a grown-up.” I think makers of “children’s” products such as candy, ice cream and sugared cereals are trying to increase their sales by convincing adults that they can go back to the happy days of their childhoods. The Breyer’s commercial seems to be saying that their “gelato” (sic) is an adults-only product that allows adults to act like children. I find it insulting and obnoxious.
Just give your kid some ice cream! It’s not like you’re giving him a shot of bourbon.
Here’s my first commercial bad enough to gripe about. It is playing on WSPA (Upstate South Carlina) now. Not trying to sell anything, other than apparently the station itself. Shows all sorts of snippets of activities–including several (Christian) religious ones–while giving a glurgey voice-over. I don’t remember the full monologue, but it ends with something about how we love the community and how great it is to be here until we go to the (and the only exact quote I have) “only home we love more than here.”
Frosted Mini Wheats did it too with their “feed your inner kidult” commercials. I just found the word “kidult” so grating I wanted to punch my TV every time I heard it. It certainly didn’t make me want to buy Mini Wheats.
Glad to see it’s not just me. Ugh, what a horrible word.
What is “crunchy stuff”? She couldn’t specify nuts? Granola? Fried boogers?
The point is they don’t want to share because it is too good, they’re greedy.
I can’t figure out why they’re so greedy–if you look closely, they’ve each got a full dish of the stuff, but none is missing from the container. So if they’ve got regenerating gelato, what’s the harm in letting the kid have some?
LOL, I remember some of those commercials!
That pink Energizer bunny is back, hyperactive as ever, with some kind of crashing-drumbeat song, and now it’s shaking its’ ‘cute little tail’ midway through. Never have I so wanted to drop-kick the thing to the moon. It’s a short commercial, but they show it 20 times an hour.
They’ve already emptied one container, and are planning to start the next one?
Possible, I guess. Though I’m not sure why, since they’re sitting in the kitchen, they don’t just leave the other one in the freezer until they’re ready for it.
My God! Trivago has managed to find someone more obnoxious than the last guy!
Where do they find these annoying people?
What about the commercial that starts out with people boinking in a VW Bug? I don’t even know what the product is supposed to be, but the ad annoys me from the opening scene. Also the KFC “gold” ads are tiresome.
