Not yet but I can imagine it happening some day. “This is your roid. This is your roid on Preparation H. Any questions?”

That could be expected to lead to roid rage amongst viewers, yes? 😃

My vote is any commercial featuring vaginal products when I’m trying to eat…a meal…

You guys are a bunch of pansies.

And defeatist, too.

I wouldn’t be astonished to learn they don’t stop a single person from smoking, at least not long term. Smokers really do understand that smoking has serious potential consequences. Go to the smoking area of a hospital and you’ll find nurses and a few doctors who see the effects of it every single day lighting up.

Interesting username/post combo.

If you watch any really LATE night TV, you can catch some doozies.

There’s a commercial for COLON CLEANSE. And when the voice over delivers the pitch, you get a diagram of the human digestive system.

I’m YELLING at the TV: “You better not show any more than THAT!”

The TV must have heard me.

I like my sister’s philosophy about colon cleaning products: she says she leaves cleaning the colon up to that part of her body to handle on its own.

Amen.

I’ve seen print ads for some expensive pet food showing tastefully rendered drawings of how small your dog or cat’s poop will be if you feed them that food. Thankfully they can’t yet show actual poop on TV.

I got a custom one of those from my Alma Mater with the school logo on it. Penn State rules!

Whoa! When those two “inventors” get hit with the class-action suit from the women who developed yeas infections from using that thing, they’ll sing a different tune.

(different from “I’m Picking Out a Thermos for You”)

“Don’t you just **love** beautiful feet?”

“Isn’t this **funny**? Here we are at a cocktail party talking about feminine hygiene products!”

“Now I don’t have to worry about vaginal odor any more!”

“Sanitary napkins for those … **heavy** days!”

**Any** commercial that starts with a cold close-up of Sarah Jessica Parker. \*\*YECCCHHHHHH!!! \*\* :smack:

The commercial for the electrical muscle-stimulator, where the guy sitting in the chair watching TV looks like he’s jerking off to porn as his arm twitches.

Okay, okay, I think I can trump all previous posts, including my own.

Those revolting, disgusting, horrible, absolutely CREEPY Febreze commercials where the blindfolded people are taken into SLUMS and they smell the pillows and rub the furniture…

AHHHHHH!!
