Is it just Zoggie? Or are TV Personnas becoming truly obnoxious?
Okay let’s start with a TV show. Tom Green. He barges in and asks people irritatingly inane questions, in that meddlesome tone of voice.
Then there’s Eet and Ern. Obnoxious? Oui. Destroying cargo, etc…
The milk guy? “Your body called, looking for some Vitaman D and A.” This is supposed to make me want to drink milk? Somebody should pay Miss Manners a call!
It’s like everyone’s going out of there way to be annoying on TV. Oh so pushy…and all that.
Am I crazy? Am I watching too much telly? Or are the people in the boob tube just mirroring reality, or something else equally profound?
You know, for some reason I actually like Tom Green, the Milk guy, and especially the 7-up guy. (Don’t know who Eet and Ern are)… For the shows, I operate under the assumption that after the bit is done, they have to tell these people what just happened and get their permission to be on TV, so in the end it must have been ok for these people who were annoyed. And while some of Green’s stuff is inane and immature, I think a lot of it is creative, and not being very creative myself, I’m drawn to it.
For the commercials, yeah, they’re rude, but therein lies the humor! It’s a guy in a milk costume… how serious can you take that?
Yeah I guess I’m too sensitive. I should be more assertive, less cowering in the face of those personnas.
But STILL. Mr. Clean wouldn’t yell at me to pick up a mop and then berate me when I decided to use a product other than his. He’d just be disapointed. And what about the Trix Rabbit? He’d NEVER be rude or pushy. (Hell he could be a bit more pushy, actually…)
