The gargling one is pretty bad, I keep thinking, “Damn, that milk must be getting awful warm right about now…” :barf smilie:
Anyway, for your reading pleasure, Zette, following is the most disturbing description of milk I have ever heard, courtesy of the Bad Candy Guys, proceed at your own risk:
Zette, I know just how you feel. I feel the exact same way about the Volkswagen one with the guy licking the car door handle. Just imagine all the people who must’ve touched that door handle and what sort of disgusting things they’ve been doing with their hands since they last washed them. Maybe the last guy to open that door had just finished rubbing jock itch medicine all over his crotch. NASTY!!! There’s something distrubing-looking about the guy too, like the casting company said “Find me someone who looks like Jerry Seinfeld, but with absolutely no charisma. If he looks like his parents were brother and sister – even better! It sells the idea that he’d be stupid enough to lick a car door handle.”
Tengu, Mike’s, Smirnoff Ice, Bacardi Silver, Hooper’s Hooch, etc. are all malt liquor drinks. Not a drop of vodka/rum/whiskey in them.
What’s the matter with you people? How often do you get handed a straight line like this? bdgr, you’re the only one that even tried to go anywhere with it. I salute you. The rest of you - I’m just disappointed. I had come to expect better of this crowd.

[q]The reason the Sears ad is just awful is because this woman is sitting right there knowing that her hubby is about to drink putrid rotten milk AND SHE DOESN’T WARN OR STOP HIM! Couldn’t her point of “The fridge is broken” be just as effective if she said, “Don’t drink the milk! It’s spoiled!”[/q]
What you don’t understand nineiron is that their fridge has been dying for a long time, but their finances wouldn’t let them replace it. The woman, by using coupons, going without pedicures and giving up Mike’s Hard Lemonade had been saving up for a new one as a surprise for her husband. Because their fridge was hanging in there, she had enough time to save enough money to get a high-end, super energy efficient, top of the line model. Just the night before last she had placed an order for a brand new sage green (the new avocado) refridgerator and then told her husband what she had done. But, instead of being happy, he took her secretiveness as a sign that she didn’t trust him–because he had once had a problem with lottery tickets–spent every spare dime on them. They had a terrible fight with the wife ending up apologizing to him for not trusting him (because it was in the back of her mind that he’s blow the money on a chance for $1000 bucks a week for life). As a show of her faith in her husband’s ability to avoid temptation, she had given him the money so he could pick up the fridge the next night after work. Instead, he blew it on lottery tickets (and Mike’s Hard Lemonade). And that’s why she didn’t tell him the fridge was broken.
Well, Kallessa, that makes a lot more sense now. I thought this commercial was just the latest in the “Idiot Man-Child” series, but I see it has deeper-reaching meaning than that.
Oh god! Racer1, you just reminded me of this diaper commercial that’s currently running. I don’t remember what brand it is, but the first few shots show the baby dancing in front of a maroon, star-covered background. Towards the end, they zoom up on the baby’s smiling face, and the crotch of his diaper (at the very bottom of the screen) is brown and dirty! It looks like he messed his diaper during the dancing and no one noticed! Funny as hell.
Nope, read your labels. None of the new “malternative” drinks have the liquor that is so prominently displayed on the label ( i.e Skyy blue, Smirnoff Ice, Captain Morgan Gold, etc.). It’s beer with the beer flavor removed and other crap put in.
Another reason wine coolers are now malt beverages is that in many states, (Texas, for example) it is easier to get a permit for selling beer than wine and liquor. “Malternatives” are classified as beer.
zette, that is my least favorite commercial atm. whenever it comes on i quickly plug my ears and close my eyes. The idea of curdled milk (even just thinking about it) makes me want to spew my cookies.
**Mike’s Hard Ice T ** with the demon child head out of the neck commerical is the most icky commerical I have ever seen. I cannot bear to watch it and will not allow my kids to watch it.
When I saw it ( nearly running screaming meemee from the room) I decided then and there to start my boycot of the product. Mind you, I’ve never drank the stuff, but now I will never drink it. Watch me bring those souless bastards to their knees.
Here in Northern Indiana we have a VERY disturbing commercial… I starts with with the close up of a young woman’s face (probley 16-18 years old) she appears to be in the heat of passion, (moning sweating and head moving from side to side, I think she even bites her lip once) the cam. slowly pans out and you see she is in labor …voice over says…if she hadn’t gotten into this possition 9 months ago she wouldn’t be there now…fade to planed parenthood logo…
SICK
That is one commercial that really bugs me…I am not a prude in ANY way but geeezzzeee folks can we get a little more direct?
I would much rather see the Sears commercial anyday (even though I agree its gross!)
