Those frickin’ Pillsbury commercials must end. It has gotten completely out of hand. There is not five minutes that goes by that I do not see one of these hellish incarnations on TV. It is everywhere now… CN, TV Land, Fox News, probably the damn Weather Channel for all I know.
They come in several rotten flavors… The ‘Bakin’ big-ole’ biscuits’ has to be the worst. If you ever sit down and think about the words in that song you will simply have to shoot yourself in the head. Daddy is home so you are baking biscuits? What love! Mom and Dad come over and you pop in the Pillsbury rolls? What affection! You think so highly of your family that you forego actual ‘made from scratch’ baking to pop in some 7-minute rolls from a can?! What a bitch!
Then we have the downright frightening commercial with the little girl making cookies with her mom… Is it just me, or is that girl extremely scary looking? She looks like some sort of human-alien hybrid gone bad.
And the woman singing the hideous songs sounds worse than Britney Spears. Off key, out of tune… Especially when she gets to the drive-a-nail-in-your-head “My Heart to Yours” line. Just crush my head!
My theory is that we MUST boycott all Pillsbury items. I know I am. I simply cannot support a company that insists on throwing their lame, from-the-pits-of-hell commercials in my face twice in every commercial break. I refuse to allow myself to be abused in that way. Anyone with me?
Anyone know where the Pillsbury Doughboy lives? I’d love to get my hands on him… And throw him in a hot oven. Big-ole’ biscuits, anyone?
When I saw that commercial for the first time, the thought that popped into my head was thus: “Wow. I’ve seen them use wheelchair kids in commercials, but I’ve never seen them use a retarded kid before!”
I just saw that commercial again a few days ago and realized that the little girl looks like a muppet. One of those grotesque Dark Crystal/Labyrinth type muppets, not the cute fuzzy Sesame Street ones…
If these are the commercials I’m thinking of, I have a big old bone to pick with them. Is Pillsbury the product that advertises that their cookies now come in an EASIER form – the dough is already cut into cookies? As if it was too much work the old way – where you bought the tube of dough, and cut it up yourself*? Are they actually saying that getting a knife and cutting up the dough was *too hard * for someone? Or maybe it was that washing the one knife was too much work in the kitchen. At any rate, I when I first saw that commercial, I almost fell off my chair.
Dammit, Pillsbury has uncovered my dirty little secret! I don’t really love my family, and now they all know it, because I’m not “bakin’ big 'ol biscuits” or poppin’ some crescent rolls in the oven. Shoot. Maybe I can cover it up by buying some other crappy pre-made food.
And I thought that little girl looked a lot like a fetal alcohol symdrome kid. Obviously Mom is using the pre-formed cookies because her hands are too shaky to use a knife.
I had an artistic friend that used to draw little comics of various characters poking the Doughboy’s soft little tummy. My favorites were Freddy Krueger and Godzilla.
