There have been a spate of dust and dirt characters recently, mostly in Swiffer commercials, who fall in love with mops!
Yeah, but the dust guy who spends too many nights at the space bar is a classic.
Not the stupidest “character”, but this commercial drives me nuts: a woman is talking on the phone while her kid is colouring on the walls with crayon. She gets off the phone and smiles at the kid and starts cleaning off the walls…I think it’s for either Tylenol (for her headache) or Magic Eraser, I can’t remember.
But HOLY SHIT, any mother I know (mine included) would have paddled that kid’s ass and sent them to their room, not smile benignly and start cleaning the wall off!!
The Orbit gum woman with the British accent. In every one of those commercials.
If Big Foot counts as a person I’d nominate him for his Jack Links Beef Jerky pwnage.
This one, right? That’s my friend Kirk playing the part of the friend!
Yeah, that’s the one. And it must be kind of cool knowing someone in well known commercial like that.
So, what’s the friend doing cleaning the carpet anyway? If it were me I’d be like, “I don’t live here, see ya.” 
Nope.
Any mother would have paddled the kid’s ass (assuming that paddling is part of her parenting style), made HIM clean the walls, and THEN sent the kid off to his room.
That’s a good question! I will ask him the next time I see him. I think he was just happy to have a speaking role, to be honest!
My “favorite” infomercial was one that dealt with the unrecognized epidemic of people going to the drive-thru and dropping their food all over themselves when the cashier hands it through the window. This was illustrated by footage of an SUV driver being drenched by a Niagara Falls-like torrent of four supersized Diet Cokes in a flimsy paper tray. The solution? Some big plastic box thingy that you are supposed to hand out the window and have the cashier load your food into. First of all, that takes up a lot of room in the car, and second of all, if you’re that dumb, it would be a small miracle that you ever managed to get to that stage of the process of using a drive-thru anyway. The speaker where you placed your order would probably be an insurmountable obstacle.
I’m also bothered by the bathtub Cialis commercials. You know, the ones where the happy couple sit on the hillside watching the sun set in these huge tubs. To get that romantic set-up, they would have had to drag these things out onto the hill, then haul gallons and gallons of water to fill them up, and at the end they’re sitting in water that is likely now cold, in separate tubs. This is supposed to enhance your sex drive? Nothing like sitting in a tub of cold water to do that! Morons.
Maybe the makers of Cialis are figuring “If we can get enough doofuses to sit around in tubs of cold water, the need for our product will skyrocket!”
Has anyone seen the new Honda commercxials? No Mr. Opportunity; it’s some live person pitching Honda cars with these airs about him as though he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread! The kind whose cell phone ringtone is applause, not ringing… :rolleyes:
It’s just a joke. And I’m surprised you don’t know who Patrick Warburton is. He seems to be everywhere. He’s even doing Smoky the bear ads on the radio.
I never heard of him. And I live in the Los Angeles area; I may not have heard his radio spots.
This is an old one: the guy who said, “Hun? Toilet bowl! Sure needs cleaning…”
Patrick Warburton, better known as Puddy on Seinfeld, or damned near every deep-voiced character in voice acting lately.
No. He was The Tick!
Almost agreed. Flo doesn’t belong, because she’s a friggin’ Einstein compared to the people in her store.
And the Wolf in Hoodwinked!
And wheelchair-bound cop Joe Swanson, in Family Guy!
