Why are there no large breasted women in television commercials?

Well, I work for a small company of about 200 people, and there are at least four women, there, that fit your description. So, it may not be as rare as you think.

And, even if it were, assuming something unusual is fake is, IMHO, unreasonable. Wondering would certainly be reasonable, but assuming is being arrogant and snide.

Not all breast are the same. Breasts go through a cycle in a woman’s life, and yes while all women have fatty tissue in their breasts some have more glandular tissue than others.

Hate to stoke the fire, but you’ve also lost an amazing amount of credibility with your poor grammar. And I sincerely hope that when you said you needed time to think of an insult, you were not referring to the one line name calling post. That would be disappointing.

To stay on topic…um…I agree?

Astro,

Grow up.

Remember Mr. Clean? He had large breasts, in a manly kind of way. I would say he and a couple others like him (wasn’t there same hunky Ajax guy) were the equivalent of big breasted models for housewives.

If growing up means not being able to focus Jennifer Love Hewitt’s big bouncing breasts, I’d rather not.

To get back to the OP, I’ve noticed the same thing and have been frustrated by it. The only time I’ve ever seen thin large-breasted women in TV commercials is when they’re selling sex. I’d like to see a good ol’ fashioned large-breasted female peddling some Swiffer Wet. She doesn’t have to have her titties all over the place, but sweater, button up blouse or something else along those lines would be nice. She doesn’t necessarily have to come off as sexual, contrary to most commercials would lead us to believe. Women (and their boobies) come in all shapes and sizes and I’d like to see slender large breasted women portrayed in a completely nonsexual way for once in life.

I agree 100% with you MeanOldLady… and show that she has a brain that works too! Just cause a girl has big boobs doesn’t mean she’s dumb and a slut.

Let’s look at all the possibilities:

  1. More or less thin women with small to medium breasts
  2. More or less thin women with large to really large breasts
  3. More or less fat women with large to really large breasts
  4. More or less fat women with small to medium breasts

Now there are very few women in category 4). In general, if you have a fat body overall, you’ll have large breasts. Category 2) isn’t rare, but it’s nowhere as large as categories 1) and 3). What you see a lot of in commercials is category 2). You hardly ever see category 3) women in commercials, even though they aren’t rare in real life.

Why is this? Well, fat people aren’t what advertisers want to use to sell anything, even all-you-can-eat restaurants. Fat people don’t appear in TV in anything like their numbers in real life. About the only exception is that sometimes a TV series will have one character, usually for comic relief, who’s fat.

Category 2) women appear in movies, TV series, and commercials where the point is to distract the men, not to make any sort of rational appeal for the product. If anybody is actually thinking during the commercial, they will be wondering, “Are those breasts actually real?”. No, not all large breasts in thin women are fake, but a significant proportion of them are.

Category 1) women are the least offensive sorts to use in most commercials. They are thin enough to get by the bias against fat people. They don’t have large breasts, so other women aren’t thinking, “Those are obviously fake breasts.”

First of all, we have in no way agreed upon a standard for what is a “large” breast and what is a “thin” woman. And of course, you have no way of knowing whether their breasts are real or not. Lastly, I wouldn’t call 4 women out of 200 people exactly “common.”

As I’ve already explained, and your example has failed to disprove, large breasts on thin women are not common. We are not talking about “something” here, we’re talking about breasts, around which an entire industry of aumentation has developed. Women can and do get them augmented all the time. And I’ve never heard somebody’s thoughts described as “arrogant” and “snide.” Just because I think a woman’s breasts might be fake doesn’t mean I treat her any differently from anyone else.

Certainly. But this in no way disproves what I said. Other than the exception I mentioned, a breast is mostly fat no matter what its size, no matter the age of the woman. Your own link says nothing to dispute this. That is because it’s true.

I guess you missed all the Jane Russell playtex bra commercials?

At first I thought Michael Ellis meant to write “to focus on Jennifer Love Hewitt’s big bouncing breasts” but then I considered that focusing her breasts would probably involve prolonged manipulation of the knobs, so now I like his idea better.

“Sorry, Love, your right boob’s still a little fuzzy. Let me try and fine tune it for you.”

I also don’t wanna grow up, and as this post indicates, there’s not much chance of it happening anyway.

Sticking to beer commercials, there is one basic rule:

Large-breasted women = cartoons; small-breasted women = women.

Other posters have mentioned the Coors Light “Twins” ads, or the Miller Lite “Wrestling women” ads, but no one’s noted the following:

  1. In the Miller Lite ads, the women in the bar with the guys (the reality sequence at the end, not the dream sequence) are small-breasted.

  2. Coors Light has a “She’s a woman” (“Here’s to women”, or something like that) ad currently airing. Depicting women drumming, or karate, or other things that a ‘real’, active, attractive, intelligent woman would do (according to the ad, not to me). All of these women are (extremely) small-breasted.

In fact, after seeing the latter ad, I came close to posting a very similar thread as this one. It was that striking.

What Rex says is true. But then, the part with the curvier women is meant to be fantasy. If the real women dating the guys looked the same as the girl in the fountain, the joke might not work. Not that it’s a great or complex gag.

Victoria’s Secret (cowabunga!)
Pier One (Kirstie)
1-800-COLLECT
Radio Shack (Vanessa Williams)
DirectTV (the girl’s very skinny but clearly large boobs.)
Ragu Rich & Meaty (also saggy old boobs–very cool!)
Clorox Wipes (woman in light blue shirt-and they are also doing some bouncing)

I’ve noticed that in a lot of commercials, some do have large boobs, but
they’re not that noticable because they’re wearing modest clothing.

I am on such a survey. I always rate ads with attractive women highly in the hope that I will help create a better world for all the boob-lovers out there (male and female).

Dude, those commercials are so cool. I’ve watched them a bunch, and I think I’ve gotten most of the parallels between the two sides. But I don’t get what’s with the four guys standing on the crosswalk. You can see them on the modern side in both ads, but you can really only see them on the 60’s side in the second one, the Levi’s Colors ad. Also, do you think it’s intentional that on the 60’s side, the cop is white and the guy being detained is black, and on the modern side, it’s the other way around?

The 60’s ad street crossing quartet has musical instruments and are kinda Beatlesque, while the modern foursome all have cell phones.
