Comercials
Are there any comercials that insult your intelligence so much that you boycot that business...or there any that tickle your funny bone that you actually do more business with them?

I hate that commercial about the team climbing a snow covered mountain saying that they are at base camp 3 or something of that nature and then the dad pulling his 2 kids on the sled passes them whilst saying "meet ya at the top". I CAN'T understand it! UGH!
Now for some reason I like the commercial where a dad and his son are at the zoo. The dad drops his cell phone into the cage with the monkey (  monkey). He freaks because the monkey proceeds to make a call at peak minutes and the son says calmly, "I sure hope your not roaming". I laugh at that little boy all the time.

I hated that Quizzno's one where they had those hamsters or gerbals or whatever they were. That was the most inept braindead idea I have ever seen.

I must admit, I do like the commercial with the man pulling his kids up the mountain. The Quizno's one, on the other hand, irritates me to no end. I absolutely hate the Charmin commercials, but I love the Whiskas... (?) commercials where the little kitties chase like zebras and stuff... those are great

omg... I NEVER saw this thread.
Fuckin' A' right I do Lilith! lol
Expedia.com travel All of the commercials I have heard from them make the men in them sound like he is either; pussywhipped, a moron, incompetent, or exceedingly juvenile.
In one, a guy is talking to one of his brother's about a getaway to a place their dad used to take them but the third brother is not allowed to come because he "cheated" at a game of Horse when they were children.
In another a husband and wife are talking about the wife's weekend getaway with the girls...
She starts out with, "we're staying three days instead of two."
The man counters with, "Awww, but honey I was gonna make that chicken thing... I mean it's three days..."
"Just like your comic book convention", she says.
He replies, "Well... uh... that see, uh, is an investment... and, uh..."
"See you Monday", she says with a slight amount of condescension.
"Uhhh, okay.", says the whipped male.
There are a couple more that I demember at the moment, but I detest them all.
:bang:

It doesn't insult my intelligence, but I can't stand the commercial in which the "fungus" peels up a toenail and crawls underneath! OMG...what were they thinking? If you listen carefully...you can almost hear every tv in the world changing channels at once. Well, if you can block out Mrs. WI screaming "change it...change it!!!!!"

LMAO....
My poor mom, bless her soul was afflicted with this nasty problem before medications were invented to clear it up and she had to have surgery to get rid of it.
My daughter used to cringe if she saw my mom's toes (well I did too) and she has had a fear since being a young girl of this happening to her. She checks her toes ALL the time since being 5 years old.
When this commercial first appeared she saw it at my home with my grandson and now they both do "toe checks".......This ad really grossed him out. I am sure like most kids he took it that little fungus people really do crawl up under your toenails.

I used to hate the Old Navy commercials...back when Morgan Fairchild and that old lady with the big glasses were doing them! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
But this past X-mas they made some pretty cool ones and so I bet others bitched to them about Morgan and that old lady!
I don't buy products based on commercials...but I have to admit I've never been in an Old Navy store...and I bet those commercials did it for me!
I had a fave commercial to list...but after reading everyone else's...I forgot it...lmfao!
