Commercial Annoyances Part 23 and a Half

My tolerance for all things corny is getting worse. Here's a few commercials that are driving me crazy...



Look it's the Advair Man. This commercial makes my blood boil. The set-up is simple. Some joker has asthma and can't play, until he takes Advair. I've got a question? So what? It's not like he's Dizzy Gillespie so we're not missing out on some good music. To prove the power of Advair, he goes to the attic, retrieves his bugle and starts caterwauling up a storm.

Solution: Get a sledgehammer and take care of his "axe."






I don't believe Sally Field has osteoporosis, she looks like she's about the same height as she always was. If you ask me? I think she's gotten a bit taller. I don't know, the whole thing seems odd. Perhaps it was that first commercial spot where a "friend" told her about Boniva. What followed was one of the worst approximation of normal chatter I've ever heard. The second commercial is much better. Got to say, I've always enjoyed Sally Field in everything she's done...






See, I'm using this pic for my blog and nothing else...












Although I'm not a Lincolnophile, I do think he deserves better than this Rozerem ad. Needless to say, I find this whole ad campaign creepy--I hate people and things out of context.

A Honest Question: Who in the heck is dreaming about Abraham Lincoln, I know I don't. Me? It's pretty much me during the last day of school, trying to get to class and finally arriving at 3:45. I don't need a sleep aid to catch up with that.







This is sad news. Diddy has seemed to join forces with "The BK" Burger King for a nauseating and ingratiating ad campaign. So far, it's been restricted to Diddy's ridiculous and gaudy MySpace page and of course a video that found it's way to YouTube. This is a still from a video where Diddy says he's going to "Order me a Whopper." Order me a Whopper? He knows better than that...



Diddy better hurry up, me and Floyd want to order us a Whopper too...

I've never seen any of those ads you've mentioned.

My least fav ads right now are those damn Subway commercials featuring Jon Lovitz followed closely by every damn commercial ever created for "Scan" health care or services or insurance - whatever the hell it is. Yuck!!!!!

Oh those Jon Lovitz Subway commercials are awful Shawn. I was such a fan of his on SNL and to see the Master Thespian being dumbed down for this, well, it's kind of sad LOL.
I rather see Jared--and is Jared getting bigger or is it just me?

I haven't seen the Scan health care commercials yet. You've got to see that YouTube clip of Diddy at Burger King--it's preposterous...

Jared is definitely getting bigger. I started noticing his weight gain earlier this year.

I'll try to remember to go searching for PD on youtube.

You've got to check that video out, I've gotten a lot of laughs from it.

Jared's stomach is really distracting. Those sandwiches have to eventually catch up to people, we certainly see it with Jared's Fat Gut..
