Wow. I hadn’t seen either of the first two commercials and had to go to the site to watch. The first one was just about the stupidest thing I’ve seen. The second was just beyond words.
These commercials are not aimed at gay men. No way. That was not secretly a “gay porn” film. I have no idea just what they were trying to do, but I know if I actually did buy Brawny towels, I wouldn’t now.
You really owe it to yourselves to check out the Innocent Escapes section at the BrawnyMan website. Look at Apricot’s weblink in an earlier post to check it out.
I hate this one, too. Apart from it being gross, I also hate the kid for sassing his mother before he’s even born. And by the way, how does a kid still in the womb have a friend named “Ned,” and how does he know what color Ned was when he was born? E.S.P.?
But then, I hate all Carl’s Jr. ads. Their message seems to be, “Carl’s Jr. - the fast food for louts.”
The stupidest commercial of all time: Dr. Scholl’s gellin insoles.
Dork 1: “Are you gellin’?”
Dork 2: “I’m gellin’ like Magellan.”
The lamest commercials EVER. They make me want to NEVER buy a Dr. Scholl’s product again.
That’s a real commerical? That’s not a parody? Wow. Just, wow.
I laughed so hard at the Brawny commercial mentioned in the OP… because I honestly thought they were going for the Simpsons-style over-the-top sexual innuendo advertising. Poking a little fun at themselves, perhaps. Maybe I’m way off.
Didn’t anyone else think of Chad Sexington? You know… for the Brawly paper towels Marge so adored?
Nomination for lamest commercial jingle:
Autozone -
“If you want it, and you need it, we’ll get it, just ask us. Autooooozzoonnnee…
Get in the zone. Autozzooooone.”
Jesus, who pooped this out?
I keep wanting to add to it - “If you want it, and you need it, we’ll get it, just ask us, come on in, pick it up, walk to the counter, and stand in line, we’ll scan it, hand us the money, we’ll take it, we’ll bag it, we’ll hand it to you… Get in the zone. Autozzooooone.”
And what gets me is - not only did some lameass have to come up with this sorry excuse but then someone had to okay it - “Yeah, that’s good. That’s really good.” Then get people to perform it. Can you imagine having to ask someone to sing this?
This is my kitchen, my heart, my soul, my meatloaf, my quiche. That’s why my paper towel is Brawny, my credit card is American Express, and why I bought a Saturn.
Funny you hate it, I think it’s pretty funny. That woman will stop at nothing to get that shake!!! 
My nomination for lamest commercial jingle:
Don’t know if it’s a local restaurant or a chain, but years back a Mexican restaurant had the worst jingle/slogan:
ChiChi’s: When you want to feel a little Mexican.
:eek:
That’s funny. But you’re right, it deserves a :eek: !
In the grocery story today was a Peeps display with a sign that said, “Peeps: Always in Season”.
Where I used to live there was a chain called Pancho’s. Their commercial had someone, I think a famous tejano singer (?) singing a jingle with the following lyrics:
“You get so much mucho
for not very much-o
at Pancho’s tex mex buffet.
Ay ay ay!”
This always bothered/amused me quite a lot, though I had problems explaining why to my friends. When I would sing the song at work, around my hispanic coworkers, however, they would crack up. Not because white boy was singing a weird song, but because they had seen the commercial and thought it was ridiculous and weird. “So much mucho”? “Not very much-o”? “Ay ay ay”?
Anyway…

33 posts and no mention of the huge package he’s sporting inside his right pant leg? They might as well paint a bullseye on it because it’s all I can see in that last shot.
W.T. flipping F? Those commercials are the creepiest things I’ve ever seen! (Thanks for the link Apricot).
I don’t watch much TV anymore. What types of shows are people seeing these Brawny commercials during? You can often tell a commercial’s intended audience by the type of show it is broadcast during.
Are these Brawny commercials on during Oprah? College basketball? What?
BTW in the second role reversal one it seemed more like the guy was being treated like a child rather than a puppy.
A commercial I (mercifully!) haven’t seen in a while: Dad spills milk on his tie. He grabs the dishrag and wipes it up, then hangs up the dishrag again without rinsing. Junior comes home and uses the same dishrag to wipe his muddy football. He drops it on the floor. Puppy comes running into the kitchen and chews on the yummy yummy dishrag. Then some time later, Mom waltzes into the kitchen…
…And WIPES THE CUTTING BOARD WITH THE DISHRAG. Then she (without rinsing it, as far as I remember) applies a drop of The Product - an anti-bacterial dishwashing detergent - and hangs the dishrag up once again.
This commercial needs a barfy smiley so badly I’m going to invent one:
:eek:

I haven’t seen this commercial since before Christmas, but the other day in the supermarket I walked past The Product and immediately thought of dishrags coated with sour milk, mud, floor gunk and puppy spit, and realized I would not buy a bottle of that cr@p if it was the last dishwashing detergent on earth.
HGTV during home-improvement shows. I’m definitely their target audience (female, 30-50, primary shopper). FTR I liked the Diet Coke commercial with the construction worker. This one, however, I loathe.
Just another of Brawny’s many uses!

If this is the best you can come up with, then thank whatever diety you answer to that you’ve never been subjected to Anna Nicole Smith’s Trimspa commercials.
“Want a Viper? Want some money? Like my body? Trimspa, baby!”
