Two commercials I need to whine about: Cialis and RGX Body Spray.

We'll start with the Cialis commercials. That "sexy" music in the background has got to go! Ugh!

And the RGX Body Spray commercial? Have you seen it? The one with the woman in the sexy black dress who makes all kinds of "alluring" poses, and gives the "sexy eyes" to the camera, and talks in a seductive tone? UGH!

I don't know the ones you're talking about (although I'll probably notice them when I see them again), but I did observe some rather odd marketing earlier.


I was watching Instant Beauty Pageant, and during the show I saw a commercial for a spiderman toy at Walmart immediately followed by an add for yeast infection medicine.

What's that one? "Active-on, apply directly to the forehead!" I have to turn the channel.

There's another that bugs me because the product is so stupid. It's this patch thing you put on your back and it's like a heating pad. So you can go out and be active. I'm sorry, if your back is that sore you need to sit down or lie down with a real authentic/non disposable heating pad and really actually enjoy it.

I hope I can link this here, but I saw this commercial once, pretty gross, turn your volume down if you're at work and link it - I hope I never see it again - lol. It's these 2 men who crack out of an egg, and the caption "Birth of a new morning show" Ugh, for me it wins the prize for bad.

The Dunkin Donuts commercials are very very obnoxious. They dont entice me at all to come in for coffee and donuts. I put my tv on mute!!

That KARATAAAAAAAAAAAY one is the worst!!!

I know that one!! Head On...apply directly to the forehead! Now they have a different version where a girl comes on and says she hates their commercial but she loves their product! At least they knew it was annoying :)

That's right "Head" on!, I drew a blank, I guess the commercial's so bad I couldn't even get the product right - lol. Yes, unfortunately advertisers believe that annoying commercials do work.

Now my alltime favorite commercial that I actual have downloaded on my computer at work for a pickme up if I am feeling down.

Is the Nextel. "Push it" Dance commercial. HYSTERICAL!

I want to know who at Wendies decided that Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes was a good idea for a theme song. Some suit who never listened to the lyrics?
