Now that would be cool! Most toilets are next to the bathtub; the Skeeball ramp could fit right into the natural grade at the back of the tub!

Hey, who wants to join me on a business opportunity? :p

So I'm not the only one. I thought of Tolkien immediately but that's because I'm one of those people who read through all the appendices and the Kings of Gondor ran heavily to El- names.

What?

I remember Villa Alegre with fondness. Concepcion as a name always got me.

The thing I hate about the new Clarinex ads is the accentuation of the x.

Before it was just Clarinex. Now it's Clar-in-XXXXXXXXX!

vaya con dios, our show is over.
join us tomorrow, in Villa Allegre.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la,
Villa Allegre!

But enough of that.

I hate the new State Farm commercial with the dad asking the kid about whether or not he kissed his date, and the mom asking the dad, and dad acting all smug as if the kid confided in him. I just want to smack him upside the head!

BWAH! A line of Potty related games. We might be on to something, phxchic. Maybe Potty bowling, air hockey, & foosball. Now some of those would really be a hit with people who are dexterous with their toes while sitting on the toilet. Yes, I must be crazy.

I love the bouncing Zoloft character. I want one as a pet! So adorable. Although I'd be hard pressed to pick between it and Elidel. Also have to mention my crush on the cutie from what I think is either a Sprint or T-Mobile commercial. The one where the mom is renting rooms out to help pay for the bill. No, not the nasty guy who used the bathroom. I mean the cute boy sitting at the bar who the girl mistakenly thinks is her new roomie.

Yay, that's exactly why I love them! Except she always disappoints me by not crushing anything, no matter how loud I shout: "Crush the tree! Crush the dog!" She must be slow.

I find Elidel the Superhero confusing because he's bragging about being "steroid free", but he's puffier on top than Jason Giambi, put together. Cortico-steroid free, that I'd believe. Anabolic? Not so much. Takes more than a radioactive spider bite or birth on a distant planet to be that ripped.

That's what I'm talking about. You can sign me up for that one. I need to improve my game.

Shelwood, I thought I heard someone yelling. Glad to know it's not the voices again... : )

The new Saturn ad where people are selling cars to themselves.. twins or camera tricks?

I keep hoping that he'll fall down and break his hip. It's really insidious that when the music starts and Insane Dancing Old Man (who strikes me as being a younger person obviously wearing heavy Insane-Dancing-Old-Man makeup) has his convulsions, folks on the street mindlessly fall in line behind him. I suspect that he's some sort of demonic Pied Piper who appears once every hundred years or so to steal our children via his hypnotic seizure dance. Mark my words, America: When the children start disappearing, look no further than Six Flags!


Man, DoughBoy would be a cakewalk - once he's in the ring, all you'd have to do to incapacitate him is poke him in the stomach; and in any case, he'd be seriously slow in the ring unless they coated the mat with flour so that his feet wouldn't stick. For my money, the America's Toughest Mascot Champion would be the Trix Rabbit; after all these decades of putting up with snotty kids who won't share their damn cereal with him, that bunny must be brimming over with pent-up murderous rage. (Hmm - I'd like to lock the Trix Rabbit in a room with Insane Dancing Old Man, the Arby's glove, the Quizno's spongemonkeys, and a box of Trix. That rabbit would have himself a good old-fashioned massacree, I tells ya!)

I remember this thing. What was it?
They ran the 'healthy snacks' spot as a retro commercial on 'I Love the 80's'. He makes orange juice ice cubes like he's discovered the cure for cancer.



Pottie Pool? Although, 8 ball in the corner pocket doesn't sound good....

Beaten.

Though this was in 1999...

Wouldn't that be a Potty 'Puter?

You know the car commercial where they throw bowling balls and stuff out of the back of a truck and at the cars? Well, I've looked and I don't see a "don't try this" disclaimer. Now I'm confused. Are they suggesting that I should try it? I mean, I'm just a stupid consumer. If they don't tell me, how am I to know whether throwing heavy objects at moving cars is a good idea or not?

The drug names crack me up, too. I always think of something like, "Join the Masters of the Universe as they battle their arch-enemy, Lipitor!"

I'd pay to see Godzilla battle Altovis.

*coffee cup rattles in hand*

Well, hello, ladyDonna! Nice to finally run into you over here.

A few things. I actually used to work with a gal named Allegra. Nice gal. Word to the Hamburger Helper/Arby's Mitt Celebrity Death Match. Bwah! to the Elidel-Tolkien connection. I want to buy stock in the Potty offshoot sports activities.

Alls I'm sayin' is thatthe Snuggle Bear would kick all their asses. That poor doll has unknown sexual tension to work out...

come on over Kaleidoscope, you bring your Jem doll and i'll bring the gloworms!

Is this NotWithoutMyHandbag, phxchic? I post over there.

Although installing a cavalcade of sporting goods into one's bathroom sounds like fun, wouldn't it be easier just to convert one's La-Z-Boy seat into a Port-O-Jon? Then you could have TV and the snacks, would be closer, too.

The HH hand would definitely win a spokesbeing battle because it has fingers.

Yup, sho' is. I swear, what are these people thinking?!? Makes me glad I have a normal name, even though I hated it as a kid.

While watching March Madness, I saw a commercial tonight that bothered me. I have no idea what the product/service was, but they used the tinkly theme from American Beauty. Now that's exactly the kind of happy, jolly movie I want associated with my company!

This is why I'm so mad at the makers of American Beauty. They ruined forever the loveliness that is Baba O'Reilly by the Who. They made it impossible for a screenwriter to ever use that song in any way, shape, or form ever again because it will always make people think of fucking Mena Suvari in a bed of roses.[/rant]
Anyway. I met a baby named Cialis not too long ago. I'm not absolutely sure that's how her mother spelled it, but that's how it was pronounced. She was about six months old, so I don't think the inspiration was the product, but still, it just doesn't seem right.

phxchic, it's for Hartford Insurance. They've been running those commercials for the past few hoops tourneys, and it drives me batty!

And now that I've seen one of the for the basquillionth time, I'm not all that impressed by Thom's Pier One commericals... I'm trying to like them, but perhaps I expected too much.

The lucky charms leprechaun can tag team with Trix Rabbit. He knows what Trix has gone through.

I have a bone to pick with Patrick Stewart. Mr. Stewart, what exactly is Crestor for? And why should I ask my Doctor for it if I don't know if it's for depression, allergies or erectile disfunction or genital herpes?? Could you at least give me a hint?

The "Cuckoo for Coco Puffs" bird's dementia has reached a new level. In a recent commercial, he's lost the turtleneck sweater and is going about starkers. But I can't figure out if that mean's he's crazier or saner. Since birds don't normally wear clothes, he could be improving. (Here's hoping.)

New ID theft ad! Guy in black rhinestone cowboyish gear sitting on a bench, woman's voice discussing getting plastic surgery. Not as funny as "my *girl* robot" or the bustier.

Poodle Hat, Crestor was discussed a few pages back. It's a cholesterol-lowering drug.

While I'm not Mr. Stewart, I am a googling fool...

From Crestor.com we find this bit o'info

CRESTOR® (rosuvastatin calcium) is a prescription medicine used to treat high cholesterol. It belongs to a group of medicines called statins that lower cholesterol.

I personally like to spell it Muuuundays just like she says it. Just like that.

Thinking of changing my username to Assclown Michael Bolton. Heh. Except I'm a chick.

[QUOTE]Matthew Lesko is like Matthew from NewsRadio, except without the funny.[/QUOTE]

Maybe he's Andy Dick's long-lost brother.

[QUOTE]There is this little green that goes in front of the toilet (like a regular toilet rug), and a small putter. Supposedly, while you are 'doing your business', you can practice your golf game.

[QUOTE]Damn my procrastination, I've been meaning to send that ad to Leno for Headlines since the catalogue came before Xmas![/QUOTE]

He had something similiar on the show a few years ago, called Toilet Golf. I had never seen him laugh so hard at a Headline before, or since.

OMG Yes Parasite Twin!

I don't watch nearly enough TV. You guys crack me up :o)

Wasn't he the chicken-looking bad guy in the MST3K movie Prince of Space?

That was Crankor...or Crack whore. Whatever. I like it very much! Also, your weapons are useless against me.

Augh... I'm being tormented by another good song from a car commercial. Does anyone know what the song is from the latest Pontiac Sunfire commercial? It sounds a lot like something from the band 'Big Sugar', but I can't be sure.

they've been using P.O.D.'s "Boom" a lot during the March Madness Pontiac commercials, but I don't know if that's the one you're talking about.

Is it bad that I didn't know they made Pontiacs anymore?

From one of the new Pier One ads: "I like bright colors. Like beige."

No, the first to do this was, I think, Chevy. An SUV commercial about 5 years ago. Get this: A bunch of SUVs doing donuts on a grassy plain with the drivers stretched out with what looked like hockey sticks, and there was a loose ball bouncing around. They were actually playing SUV polo. Swear ta God. And the song played on, but, of course, the commercial stopped before that raging opening stanza:

Out here in the fields!/I fought for my meals!

BBCAmerica has some really bad commercials for itself, with Americans saying really stupid things:

"Have you ever been around a British person? They're more fun than Americans any day"

"I just love the accents on [show full of lower-class Brits]. They sound so sophisticated"

OK, the "Burger King" office spacey commercials are getting more than a bit odd.

"Are you sniffing my wrapper?"

And this makes people want to buy your stuff how?

Oh, I hate those "I am a BBC American" commercials. They're not at all flattering and they don't make me want to watch Hyacinth Bucket whenever she's on. But I do adore me some Hyacinth Bucket.

That's Boo-kay...

My God, I need to see one of these BBC America ads. They sound hilarious.

I especially hated the one where the dude's like "I like The Office because that could happen in your office." If I worked in David Brent's office, I'd have a friggin' heart attack or kill them all, save for Tim and Dawn.

I like that commercial where the airport guy's all "because bad news is okay when you're listening to it with a banjo!" I forget what company it was for, though.

The banjo thing is actually an early Steve Martin joke. He talked about how it was impossible to play a sad song on a banjo, and playing one will always cheer you up. I hope he's credited, but if he's not it doesn't surprise me.

I swear that Enzyte's "Smilin' Bob" has yellow teeth in their new, dumb, car racing commercial. I don't remember if his teeth were so yellow in the other commercials, but if they're hiring someone to be Smilin' Bob, couldn't they have given him some Crest whitening strips?

I'd like to see them combine the Enzyte and Cialis commercials into one, in which Smilin' Bob has a four-hour erection and has to seek emergency medical attention.

Anyone see the new Dasani commercial, where they show this woman in the club drinking Dasani? It's cute.

I'd hate to have the job to market Dasani to Britain, after all that's happened.[/ot]

A good ad that's been on during March Madness has been the Miller Lite spoof of Viagra ads. And I think the main actor in it is Cousin Brian from The Sopranos

What happened?
