Commercials....

MouseWife · 07-23-2008, 11:52 AM

I'm just going to throw this out there. Everytime I see this commercial I freakin' crack up.

LOL So, now, that it's over I've forgotten the name of the product, but, it has two women sampling some item that is supposed to have fiber in it. They claim they can't taste the fiber. The manager comes over and says that it is in there and points out the amount on the box.

What is knock me over funny is the look the younger woman gives the older woman when the clerk says 'She's had almost 4 days fiber already'...{or something like that}.

Their look is priceless.

Do you all have any commercials, current or past, that stand out as funny or unique?

I don't know if you can find these on YouTube or not....will have to go and check....

Since I rarely watch anything live (everything is TiVo), I rarely see commercials. So I have no clue as to which commercial that is.

MouseWife · 07-23-2008, 12:48 PM

Well, it is funny.

Because they look at one another and realize 'Oh, shiet!!!'

But yeah, with TiVo and DVR is it a benefit to miss commercials. Right now I am zipping through them myself to get to my soap.....

It's kind of like with the radio and the iPod. I used to listen to the radio religiously. Now, I get new music from suggestions on the boards I go to and put what I want on my iPod and enjoy music without having to listen to fillers.

I am now watching a fair amount of stuff on DVR (and just as I predicted it hasn't cut down on my TV time but increased it, often on crap) but I generally forget that is what I am doing and let the commercials run and do the stuff I always did during commercials.

For some stupid reason a current commercial that tickles me is the one with "milky minutes." Just something about that phrase amuses me and then the look on the mom's face when her husband says "isn't your sister lactose intolerant" is just a good bit of commercial acting.

Okay, we DVR and fast-forward through most commercials, but the Aussie commercials (for the hair products) cracks us UP!

It was funny enough to make it onto Best Week Ever... or was it The Soup. Oh well, one of those shows.

I am at work and I'm blocked, otherwise I'd link it. Better to see it than explain it, so I'll edit this later, unless someone knows the commercial I'm talking about and does the dirty work for me.

It's for fiber one yogurt.

MouseWife · 07-23-2008, 01:06 PM

You are right, BTD!!

Those Aussie commercials are cool. Funny.

Alex, I caught that one the other day and it cracked me up. I liked the first one they did, funny how the mom chews out the family but this one, totally cracks me up. The husband/wife banter is too true.

There's one right now for Tampax with "Mother Nature", a lady in a green skirt suit handing out "Your monthly gift" (a red gift box). Then the gift box is used as a metaphor throughout the ad. SO funny.

I think someone here posted this one. Love it. "Alright Janis!"

I still listen to the radio quite a bit in my car. I can't tell you how many times I wish I had a back-skip button (a la TiVo) when I miss something.
