This is kind of old and has probably already been discussed, but my love for the "Milk Rap" knows no bounds. The first time I saw it my roommate and I were rolling on the ground laughing until tears started rolling down our eyes. This commercial is the definition of hilarious--white farmers rapping about the virtues of milk (my favourite drink). "We be chillin'." I think its only airing in Ontario, which is a pity for the rest of north america.

HATE the Silhouette mousse/whipped yogurt ad with the "What a Feeling" spoof. Why do ad execs think that every time a woman enjoys something she has to immediately orgasm?
Well, if you’ve never actually brought a woman to orgasm maybe yogurt
seems like a reasonable method.
“Hey, Andy? You know anything about chicks and orgasms?”
“Nope, do you?”
“Nope.”
:::long silence:::“You think yogurt might do it?”
“Sure, why not?”

There were these bunch of ads for laundry detergent (I believe it's Tide, but I need someone to confirm!) awhile ago with a butler who uses only said detergent for his employer's stuff.
We never saw the employer, but it turns out that she's this supermodel, who is supposedly anorexic (he once held up what looked like a baby t-shirt with a star on it, remember?), and I think she's always out partying too (he once spoke over her while she was passed/sleeping out in bed).
Anyways, they made a new ad featuring the butler and finally show his employer! The ad is something like her sniffing around and saying, "Hmm..something smell expensive!" and he's like, "That's you madam!" My point? Was anyone else not impressed? I thought revealing the supermodel lady was a big letdown after not seeing her this whole time, lol. Sort of like, that's what she looks like?! lol..not impressed at all!

One showed a couple playing cards or something, and a nurse walks in to give the man some liquid medication. He takes some salt, shakes it onto the woman's clavicle, licks it and takes the shot. It doesn't sound funny written out, but it cracked my shit up.
I had to leave the room when this one came on. Sure, I had to leave the room to check the laundry, but I was glad for the opportunity. I know I'm going to be old and wrinkled one day, and there's a decent chance that I'll still feel a lot younger than I look, but I'm so sick of "funny" commercials putting the suggestion of geriatric sex lives in front of me. Ugh. I don't need that shit.

Dear Kotex,
I love your new silent ad, promoting pads with a "quieter" wrapper. As a male of the species, I probably will never find myself in need of your product, nor do I feel qualified recommending it to my female friends. But as a TV viewer, I do love a commercial that isn't blaring for my attention. Kudos and wishes for success to you.
In other commercial news, IRS E-File has this hilarious ad. This guy's mailing his tax return. He drops it into the mailbox and starts to walk away. But then he finds that the stamp got bent, and stuck to his thumb. So he goes back to the mailbox to try to get his tax return back to put a stamp on, but he gets his head stuck in the box. There's nothing not funny about people getting stuck in mailboxes.

I'm usually trying to figure out who told her orange(pants) and blue(shirt) go together. Seriously, that's a horrifying combination. I do wonder if they actually scared the actor coming through the door tho'. You can read his lips and it looks like he says "oh shit" to me. Either that or he's wondering the same thing about the clothes. I've totally overthought this ad.

My concern about that commercial is that they not only talk about the possibility of leaking when she stands up, but also smelling. First of all, may I say- ew? Second of all, ew, and third, a little more ew. They do remind you that you should change those things, right? Oh, ew, I just grossed myself out even more.
Anyway, maybe the guy is surprised because she smells bad.
I really do love those commercials for [insert enormous sports utility vehicle here because I don't remember what the name is], where the guys are about to go whitewater rafting (in the other one, they're about to go rock-climbing). They're all, "Yeah, a guy I know told me about a Class Five that's down here! It's gonna ROCK!" "Yeah!" Then they get there and it's way too bad-ass for them, so the guy says, "Well, if we do a Class Two and a Class Three, together that would make a Class Five, right?" "Yeah!" They're so cute in their non-badassishness.

Word,
DramaQueenLite. I was worried the first time I saw the ad that the girl on the left would be the example of bad 'pon choice. Icky stain, and, I dunno, to illustrate the funk, maybe a big dog bearing down on her? So, thanks, ad guys, for not making that choice. Because, ew.
What puzzles me about the wussing out rock climbers/rafters/bungee jumpers is that they have their own equipment. Maybe in the first two, it's rental stuff, but I'd think the bungee dudes would have to own it. If so, then it's not their first time, so... why the wimping out? Wouldn't owning the equipment mean you have done it before and liked it? I don't get it. But then, I've always wanted to raft a Class 5.

My latest commercial love is one for United Airlines, done in a kind of sepia-toned animated style, about a man who goes on a job interview and gets the job because, I guess, United did such a kick-ass job of flying him to the city where his interview took place. I'm not really clear on their message.
This ad is so long and boring. He has such a good time on United that he forgets to put on two of the same shoes? I wouldn't want to hire someone who is so not detail-oriented that he would put on two different colored shoes. Shows that he can't multi-task and has no eye for detail.

What I hate about some of the tampon/pad ads lately is the apparent trend of implying that before using THIS product or THAT product, there was no way to live a normal life without embarrassing incidents when you were on your period. Wearing white? GASP! Swimming? OMG!!!1!!! Sitting down for more than three seconds? HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!?
It's like all the feminine products manufacturers have just finished reading Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret for the first time ever, and like they assume all the menstrual-age women in the US haven't quite figured it all out yet.

Dear Kotex, I love your new silent ad, promoting pads with a "quieter" wrapper.
Wait, what? I haven't seen this.
Are you telling me that one of the selling points of a pad is that is has a quiet wrapper, so that
no one will know that you're unwrapping it?
When you're alone in the bathroom, or possibly a public restroom stall? So that no one will know you're on your period?
For fuck's sake. This is just like those tampon commercials where they advertise how small the packaging is, so that you won't have to take your purse to the bathroom with you, so that
no one will know you've got your period, because it's dirty, you're a dirty girl and that's concentrated evil coming out from between your legs.
It's just a pad/'pon, and it's just your period. Who cares about stuff like that? Has any woman here ever been in a bathroom stall, and heard rustlings of a wrapper from the next stall over and hollered out, "Neener neener, you're on your period! HA ha!" What's the big deal if people see your purse/hear the wrapper?

Thank you,
Ernos, for my first beverage-on-keyboard moment of the day.
But this is right in line with my hatred of the tampon/pad commercials lately that act as if a period is an embarrassing, awful thing that no one has dealt with for thousands of years. And that without modern tampon/pad technology, we are all going to have to hide our faces because of our embarrassing period "incidents" and smells and the sounds of the wrappers acknowledging that WE WOMEN HAVE PERIODS. The attitude of the ads lately have seemed to me to say that but for the sanitary supply companies and their innovations, we'd be quarantined in The Women's Hut across the village until our Time of the Curse is over.

I have to admit that I'm weirdly fascinated by this commercial, as I watch the old guy and try to figure out if his head has been CGIed onto a dancing body, if it's really a dancer in old man makeup, or if it really is an old guy that can boogie down with the best of them.

Not only do I have to be paranoid that people can smell me from across the room, that I might stain my all-white virginial outfit, or that people might see the huge tampons in my purse, I now have to worry that another woman might hear me opening my tampon wrapper. Thank you, oh thank you, Kotex, for saving me the embarrassment of being female. I can't wait till menopause, when I can stop worrying about my period and start worrying about what people think of my hot flashes and mood swings. Thank God there's products for that, too!
