Apparently there have been a LOT more of these commercials with the Popping Bears than I knew about. Maybe they show them more in other parts of the country, or something.
In any event, his is from more than three years ago, but I just stumbled across it:
Yes, the Charmin Girl Bear* evidently reads on the toilet, tying up the bathroom when other bears need it. I think of her as the Lisa Simpson of Charmin Bears (when I think of her at all). And she reads Kafka’s *Metamorphosis * while there.
You wouldn’t find Mr. Whipple reading Kafka in the break room (“I’ll bet they’d let me squeeze it in The Castle”)
She has a name, apparently. They all do. But I’ll be damned if I’m going to look them up.
What I find strange is the ad where the one bear claims that the ass-wipe will get your chocolate star-fish so clean, “you could wear your underware a second day!”.
But they aren’t wearing any clothes!
And isn’t it a know fact THEY SHIT IN THE WOODS!?!
