Welcome back!

I am complaining about commercials again. Fair warning

There are two main types of commercials on television these days. One gives warm feelings, annd the other leaves me with a chill inside that people actually think that it is okay to put such stuff on the air.

WARM The most recent warm one involved a man wanting to propose to his lady. he realizes that she loves cats, gets a kitten and puts a little tag on the kitten that asks her to marry ‘them’. Kudos for Fancy Feast, that commercial is cute, warm and caring.

CHILLED A woman is interviewing some sharks and asking them about the taste of people they have eaten. They like a certain one who tasted better. She lets another person into the room, the sharks tell him to go ahead and finish his candy bar…….WHAT are they doing? Are they condoning human sacrifice to advertise Snickers? Shame

Do you remember the old commercial that had the little old lady looking at her burger and asking the question above? I do.

I also remember the commercial about the giant dumpling the the man saying the her couldn’t believe that he ate the whole thing. I do not remember the product that they were advertising either. Weird commercials help you to remember them. Of course some of those commercials used good looking guys taking baths to smell good. I didn’t mind them even though they weren’t advertising body wash for acne, but body wash to smell good.

I miss the bunny with the sun glasses and the drum. The last one of those commercials that I saw had him getting abducted by aliens. Is that why he isn’t on the TV right now? Maybe when they get him back he will be a lot bigger. Some commercials make me laugh. Those I like. Right now, unfortunately, most of what we see has to do with the up and coming elections.

I do NOT like political ads. Too bad there is no longer truth in advertising required on TV. Now that would be interesting.

Right now, I am not being political. I like giving my opinions, though. Politics have enough time on the TV these days. I think that other things need some promotional products of their own.

Some of the commercials that can be seen on TV can actually be entertaining. There is one where a good looking guy is sitting backwards on a horse. I cannot remember the product though, because I am usually too busy looking at the guy and wondering how he can keep a straight face while riding backwards. Good actor I guess.

I still miss the chihuahua who was talking and selling stuff. Cute is good, anoying is not good.

I like that line from a movie. I imagine that a lot of people like it too, and know the movie that it came from.

It proves just how commercialized that we are right now. How about ‘where’s the beef’? Do any of you remember where that line comes from, and WHO said it?

I do remember. There are so many different commercials that are out there now. Some are memorable, others quickly forgotten. I know there was one that had a dot com in it. It wasn’t www.carinsurancelist.com, but if I think long enough on it I will remember which one it is. I do miss the Chihuahua commercial about food, though. That dog was cute.

There are so many boring commercials these days that it is amazing.

Recently saw one that actually made me laugh. If I had an epson receipt printer, I would print it out in its entirety just so you could read what it says.

It shows a man talking about a famous mens’ cologne, and body spray. He talks and talks as the camera slowly moves back from him to give you a better view.

When it finally shows what he is doing, he is riding a horse BACKWARDS. That is a unique way to approach getting an audience’s attention. I know that it got mine, for I burst out laughing.

Everywhere that I look on the TV right now, there are political ads everywhere, everywhere….did I say EVERYWHERE?

This man says this, that man says that……noise, noise, NOISE!

I am an opinionated fat broad and even I don’t have as many opinions as the politicians do in all of their ads.

I know that they are trying to get elected, I just wish that they would tell the truth.

OOPS, if they did that they would not get elected….would they?

Am I the only one who feels that the political course of our country has been side tracked by the media frenzy that goes with elections?

Yes, the phrase that you see is exactly what I meant to type.

There is a commercial on TV for the Verizon network. It shows a family and kid with a pinata and one child trying to whack it. The father (I guess) is talking to the people of the network. After talking to them, he takes the stick from the blind-folded child and whacks the pinata which of course causes candy to fall out. Of course the amount of candy falling out is way more than what that pinata can hold.

While the stuff is falling out, he turns, points, and says “Don’t eat that Marsha!” However the man is talking so fast that it sound totally as if he is saying - Don’t eat Aunt Marsha. Every time that I hear that commercial, now, I burst out laughing.

Of course if the man had properly enunciated what he was saying, I wouldn’t remember the commercial and wouldn’t laugh now.

Yes, it is time for me to gripe about advertising again.

I have a few favorite shows that I like to watch. It get me that I am watching the show, get into the mood of the show, the next thing that I hear and see involves LOUD noise, nonsense, and irritation.

That is not the way to sell items, ideas, opinions, whatever. The television networks used to say that the commercials were not at a different volume level. How wrong they still are. When you have to turn down the volume suddenly during a show, and when the show comes back on, turn the volume up again.

The sudden change in volume really kills the mood of the show. I do not like advertisers who do that, and it makes me decide NOT, I repeat, NOT,to buy their product. Isn’t that self defeating in the purpose of the commercial?

I recently saw a commercial that had me saying that phrase above.

The woman was trying to get her husband to do something, or stop doing something. She had all of her face covered with pasty white something or another. Probably cold cream - YUK.

The way that I figure it, she should wash her face and then try to talk to her husband if she wants him to actually listen to her. I have no idea where the ad agencies get their ideas. Some are funny as all get out, others are nothing but irritating - at least to me they are. I am not happy when they treat the customers are if they are morons, or should be morons in order to buy their products. I cannot be alone with my opinions, can I?
