Ok the first couple of time I saw this commercial it gave me a good chuckle I have to admit.
But Damn! Must you depict us as COMPLETE frick’n morons?
And the shamless Ass-kissery: “Don’t forget guys Valentine’s Day is THIS Monday”
Yes, I know, I get it!
There’s another one out there that parallels this commercial too. Something about Pajama-Grams? Jeez!
Your post just told me when Valentine’s is. I didn’t know before that. Ask my ex, ZipperJJ.
Maybe Adam Corolla was talking to me, not you. 
And what the fuck is up with his voice? It sounds like he was recorded over a cellphone. I’d be ashamed to produce a commercial with the crappy sound quality.
Of course look what they’re hocking so…
Isn’t he actually talking to a guy over the phone in the commercial? It’s in an office or something, right? That may be why.
Whenever I hear Adam Corolla in radio ads, I really get the feeling he’s trying to be subtly tongue-in-cheek about everything. I recall hearing him on Loveline a few weeks ago talking about some ad he was supposed to read (for some adult website; I forgot the name of it, and he specifically didn’t mention it in this particular show, but I know I’ve heard the final version of the commercial)…anyway, he was basically ranting about how the dialogue he was supposed to say was one of the stupidest things he’d ever read, and sounded completely forced and unnatural. But, what can you do? It’s part of the contract…
hehe, you know that didn’t occur to me at all.
:smack:
He and Orson Welles have something in common.
Umm, my husband has given me nearly a dozen Vermont Teddy Bears and I love them, and they are well worth the expense.
The pajama grams are from the same company I think, BTW. They are usually advertised in my gifts as well as my catalogs for the bears.
Yes, the commercials suck, but there’s nothing wrong with the product.
Those are actual commercials!? I seriously thought they were some lame jokey thing but I couldn’t figure out what for. They are really insulting to both men and women equally.
Mr Jim you’re right that it insults men and women equally. Especially the part about “what she thinks is sexy” and a pic of a woman wearing baggy flannel pjs and “what you think is sexy” the fredricks of hollywood jammies. Puuuuhleeez. Everyone knows flannel is a major turn on
What?
But every time I see the Vermont Teddy bear I think of the Shit Bitch bear and it makes me laugh.
Is Adam Corolla still alive?? I figured he’ve overdosed on heroin years ago, after he left the Man Show and Kimmel got his own late night talk show.
I got my girlfriend a Shit Bitch bear.
If, after Monday, I don’t post for a week, it worked well.
If, after Monday, I don’t post ever again, it didn’t work very well at all.
Will keep you posted.
And if you Post at 12:01 am Tuesday, then it didn’t work at all? :eek:
Well, the bears are pretty expensive; aren’t they like seventy bucks? If my boyfriend got me one I’d think it was a terrible waste of money. But then, I’m practical to a fault. I asked for (and received!) a flash drive for Valentine’s Day last year.
$70 for a teddy bear!? WTF?
Open message to mate: if you’re gonna spend 70 bucks for V-day, I’ll take some hot lingerie and chocolate. Screw the bear.
TO EACH THEIR OWN.
I love the bears. They are hand-crafted and have a lifetime warranty (I know, it’s weird but if anything happens they will fix/replace the bear for free). They can be personalized and have very cute costumes.
This is my most recent one.
I have this, this, and this one.
They are a quality product and very sentimental, I will defend them to no end. It isn’t a chinzy company and there are a LOT of people out there who like these things. My husband goes to great lengths to surprise me with these and he enjoys the look on my face when I open that familiar box with the airholes in it. Plus, he gets rewarded for it - which he hasn’t complained about!
So you all like lingerie, chocolates, and flowers . . . doesn’t change the way I feel. I pick out my own lingerie (that’s my husband’s gift), chocolate is okay but I can have that any day, and flowers die in 3 days. I like sentimental gifts that I can keep forever.
Like I said: to each their own.
God, I hate radio commercials that feature phone conversations. That scratchy distortion is so annoying.
Years ago, I used to listen to a radio station that had a never-ending series of commercials that featured a little kid on the phone. Or maybe it was an adult doing a little-kid voice; I dunno. But the combination of that lugubrious voice, the way he rambled on and on, which I assume was supposed to be funny, and the scratchy distortion drove me round the bend. And I couldn’t easily change the station, because my hands were always full and I was across the room. (They had really good music; it was just these commercials that bugged.)
Wow. And I thought it was dangerous to get between a mom bear and her cubs.
