I always thought those Brawny ads were aimed at gay men. The simply can’t be for women…they just can’t. I know whereof I speak because \ I _am_ a woman. With regards to the Captial One commercials, I’ll take my David Spade any way I can get him. I’m one of the four people in this country who thinks he’s hilarious. ---

> [@Loopydude](#): > > Y’know, last night I saw a commercial where a guy in a supermarket grabs some sort of deodorant spray off the shelf, sprtizes himself with it, and all the hot chicks within smelling distance go into “bitch-in-heat” mode and physically attack him. > > I not much for PC, but this commercial is egregiously sexist, and pathetically stupid. I fucking HATE this commercial. I’d like to find the guy who wrote it and punch him in the nose. Not even Digger gets me this riled up. > > No, the Body Spray commercial (can’t remember the brand) is my new all-time most-hated. FUCK that piece of shit made me angry. Sounds kind of like some of the “AXE effect” ads - another body spray ad (same company, maybe? I remember one that featured what was OBVIOUSLY a High School football game - a player goes running down the sidelines, and a cheerleader tackles him and basically rapes him on the field. Jeez. One that kills me is the new Qwest slogan - “The spirit of service in action.” It’s actually quite an accurate slogan - if you take away one SPACE. “The spirit of service _inaction_.” ---

> [@UrbanChic](#): > > I always thought those Brawny ads were aimed at gay men. The simply can’t be for women…they just can’t. I know whereof I speak because \ I _am_ a woman. I’ve been thinking about it and have come to the conclusion that those ads were made solely to get people like us talking. No one can find those things the least bit attractive, especially that tool in the innocent escapes ads. Good job, towel guys! ---

I’d like to nominate the god awful Gap commercials with Sarah Jessica Puker. Especially the “I enjoy being a…GIRL!” ones, where her teeth aren’t teeth but pearls. (thank you)…GAHHH! I hate, hate, hate her and her caterwalling! carry on. ---

In all fairness, you’ve got to give Rodgers & Hammerstein some of the blame. On the other hand, it was The Gap that chose to resurrect that song from obscurity and give it to SJP… ---

You know…I don’t think I’ve seen any of these ads except the David Spade ones. I like 'em. Most of 'em. I hate the Diet Coke ads. You know, the ones where this _hot sexy chick_ is walking around the pool wearing a bikini that makes a G-string and two pasties look like Full Coverage. Her “wrap” slides off her waist. She opens a Diet Coke and the faux-hip music starts. Every guy in the place is now following her like she’s the Pied Piper of Hamlin, only they’re all drooling. (Naturally). And _why_ are they following her? Why, because she’s carrying a _Diet Coke_, that’s why! Couldn’t be that she’s a practically naked hottie or anything, could it? No, it’s the Diet Coke. ---

Hey now, I _like_ that Brawny commercial! It makes me laugh every time. It’s funny because they’re trying WAY too hard to be sexy. But they know that they’re trying too hard and thats why it’s funny. Also: Hate the toilet paper ads with the cartoon bears. Come on. You don’t even need an ad for toilet paper. You’re gonna but it no matter what, and I definitely don’t want to buy a brand that bears use. Oh and the Pepto-Bismol shit dancers. Jeez. I get it, you guys have diarrhea. Don’t dance about it, thats only going to make it worse. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nomination-for-worst-commercial-brawny/295994.md?page=3)
