I’ll go with a classic and mention the commercial for that foldup bed.
“I can’t eat in bed. I spill stuff!” says a guy while sprinkling popcorn all over his face.
Wile E siad:
That’s an amusing interpretation, as opposed to the intended one that she caught him eating all her yogurts and is chastising him for not leaving her any.
The guy from the old Country Crock margarine commercial - his wife has to keep him under constant watch or he’ll grab a spoon and eat all the margarine before their guests arrive.
Subway “$5 footlong” sing-along commercials, any of them, starring any of those anonymous Subway fans. Five dollah. Five dollah foot longs. Five Dollah. Five dolla foot…
I WIN!!!
But one of them grew up to be Rupert Giles!
And the other one was kinda hot.
My first thought was the invisible cord dad in the AT&T commercial. Does he think all the phones and remotes in the house have invisible cords too?
There’s one commercial for a non-bleach detergent (I think). The guy asks a group of women how many have ruined a piece of colored clothing by pouring bleach on it and one of the women holds up the sleeve to her navy sweater to reveal a pretty good sized hole in it. So either she bleached out her dark sweater and then thought cutting out the problem spot would fix it, or she mistook a bottle of acid for laundry detergent. Either way, she decided to keep wearing it in public.
This is the part that really bugs me about these commercials - he’s just looking in the fridge! Is the man not allowed to look in his own damn fridge? And the way he looks up at her like a naughty puppy when she chastises him for looking in there. It’s like she’s babysitting a toddler or something!
I must’ve missed THAT one – is it the same guy from the Smart Mop commercial?
Me. This isn’t rare; I’ve heard tons of people complain about it. I don’t work a 9-5 at the moment (back in school), but I did for a few years, and I would always completely crash about a half hour to an hour after lunch. I’d want to just curl up in a ball and go to sleep at about the same time every single day.
I’m never going to ingest Five Hour Energy, because god knows what’s in that stuff, but I would always have to have about 3 cups of coffee right around that time of day.
I believe this commercial is a reference to the parable of the blind men and the elephant. You know, where one touches just the trunk and thinks it’s a snake, then one touches a leg and thinks it’s a tree, and they all fight about it but are all right, or whatever.
It was a few years back. I don’t even remember the product.
KID: Look Ma, it’s grandma!
MA: What? She’s early!
KID: No, here on the counter! (the kid made a portrait of grandma on the counter with nutella or something).
The commercial diverges from reality at this point.
No, and it’s a damn good thing he’s not. In the land of TV commercials, a man looking in the fridge could bring about the collapse of western civilization.
I can attest to the 2:30 thing, but that’s mostly because of those damned meds I’m on. Unfortunately, caffeine triggers my seizures, and so I’m screwed. Not that I’d take one of those pills even if I could – I love coffee.
I’d say the vast majority of people on those “As Seen On TV” ads are probaby take the take the cake.
Or perhaps the women in those “Miller Light” commercials who kept asking their boyfriends, “who do you love more?” If I was her boyfriend, I’d say the beer just out of principle.
This is how I’ve always seen it. Like he’s this terrible awful person for doing THE EXACT SAME THING she did. ARG. Actually, I don’t think I’ve liked a single one of their “dessert yogurt” ads.
No, there’s still plenty of yogurt in the fridge.
Here’s the first one: linkie
And I can’t find the sequel on YouTube, but go here and scroll down on the right to the “Guy Talk” commercial.
I thought she might have been rolling her eyes at his whole “must be my metabolism” thing, but she brags about the awesome food she’s eating as well, without mentioning, ‘oh yeah, it’s low-fat yogurt, by the way.’
You forgot: You forgot her Glasses!
Bob is ok, it’s the other products for Male Enhancement that get me
Dippy Blonde: "What are those pills hun? "
Hubby: "You know, they are for male enhancement :wink wink:
Dippy Blonde [touching hubbys bicep] "Oh you mean like more muscles? "
Hubby “No, I mean Male … Enhancement”
Same commercial has a Dude as a Doctor.
Dude as Doctor “I find the ingredients to be truly effective”
Yeah, I find the sky to be truly blue.
Or the other female, holding a WHITE flower in full bloom against her chest. She should just wear a sign, you know?
The Commercials for Non-monetary coins.
The Niccuragan “Dollar” for 9 - 11. “The two numbers 9 and 11 make 20, telling you the value of this piece, and also displaying the year – the first time ever on a piece”
And
“.9999 THATS FOUR NINES! silver”
And
The one showing the SAME Early 1980s footage of a Rent a Cop at bank vault … From “” Monday 8:45 am "
And most recetly
The 10th Anniversary 9/11 Non monetary piece that AFIAK is “” uncirculated “”
- It’s only been 9 years, but thanks for playing.
- The coin has WTC and some Battleship that pops out, and sticks into the coin.
How on earth can the coin remain Uncirculated, and EVER … transform?
Or actually, any Coin being sold on TV, ever. Come to think of it.
Oh FCK me. I JUST saw a spot for the Snuggie, done as a Macarena Rendition. [CBS Lets Make a Deal promo spot for caption support, or sponsorship.]

You forgot: You forgot her Glasses!
I didn’t forget, that’s just where it diverged from reality.
Commercial:
MA: You forgot her glasses!
Reality:
MA: What the hell? You’re like, six years old! You should know better than that! Go to your room! (if he’s lucky)
The Mop and the Broom who have lost their jobs to the Swiffer and fall for the As Seen On TV come-ons for improvement. That stuff doesn’t work, guys, you are fools for believing it! I liked it better when Mop and Broom were pining with unrequited love…
That tool who follows Erin Esurance around. Dude…she’s not into you.
