gross tv commercials

[ubsman]

although I spend at most 10 hours a week watching tv there are 2 commercials that are just gross: most recently a pepto bismol commericial where they sing about diarrhea and a woman points to her [bottom - HZ], and another with a bunch of unattractive women lifting up their shirts to show their bellys (something about being twisted up inside, whatever that could mean)... any comments?

Well there's that really funny one from Quizno's Subs that had those two singing hampster-type-mutants that played guitar that got pulled because people complained.

"Any coupon works!..."

JEFF!

You gotta be kiddin' me! They pulled it because people complained? :rolleyes:

Any of those feminine hygene products, bodily dysfunction commercials, etc...especially when the TV's on during Dinner! I need a Time Machine! :rolleyes:

I really hope they didn't pull those Quizno's ads. Weird, yes, but clever and a great marketing trick. It got people talking. It had friends of mine singing, "We loooove tha suuuubs." It bordered on being as recognizable as "Where's the beef?!?"

Someone here used to have an Avatar with thoes hampster things.

A horse farts on a couple so hard their hair gets all messed up.

A dog bites a guy in the crotch for his beer.

That dick pill commercial where the creepy dude is trying to throw a football through a tire and the his wife comes out, and then the narrator talks about the dick pill (but he doesn't say anything about it being a dick pill, 'cause apparently that wouldn't be in good taste! :rolleyes: ) and then it's like implied that he took the dick pill and finally nailed his stupid wife and now he can throw the phallic football through the vaginally Freudian tire.

Ok, ALL dick pill commercials! Gross! All those side effects- 4 hour erections?! Yowzers! What the hell am I gonna do with that, use it as a diving board for Tom Thumb?

When Bob Dole came on my TV to tell me about penis limpitude, it scarred for my life. Ew, Bob Dole's wee-wee! I did not need to think about that. And now that horrible, horrible memories are back. I'm gonna cry myself to sleep, tonight.

But maybe that's just revenge for all those yeast infection and Monopause 7 commercials. I once watched two of those in a row and became queer for 40 minutes. Then Bob Dole talked about his penis again and it set me straight.

So, I guess the moral of this story is that Bob Dole's penis isn't so bad.

I can do without any commercial that features a shot of a naked baby's butt. :rolleyes:

And hey, we LOVE those Quizno's spots! :righton:

"THEY GOT A PEPPER BAR..." :D

Mike B,

This is one of the funniest posts I have ever read here. Brilliant! :laugh:

Just a reminder: this is a family orientated forum.

Yeah, so Happy Mother's Day, Mother______s!

Those Quiznos Hamster-looking things are called spongemonkeys, and I'm not sad to read that those ads aren't on anymore. If anyone's lucky enough to not know what they are, here's a link: http://www.rathergood.com/moon_song/

Still, Gary, Mike's post had me rolling on the floor :D.

Two current TV ads with a similar theme that gross me out:

(1) The guy returning to the office with everybody's fast food, and a female coworker licks a spot of mayo (or something) off his face.

(2) A couple having a romantic steak dinner, and the guy uses a piece of meat on his fork to wipe a spot of steak sauce off the woman's face and then eats it. Slogan: "Yeah, it's that important."

These ads are supposed to entice people to use their products?? :hurl:

HAHAHAHAHA! I love that song! Is that their homepage? I can't find an expanation on them there... but that's some funny stuff. And yes, gross.

JEFF!

I know this forum's supposed to be family-orientated, but that's one of the funniest posts I've ever read anywhere.

is there a Post of the Year competition on the Hoffman board? I'd respectfully like to nominate this one.

(and it isn't nearly as bad as the commercials themselves, imo)

[Holy Zoo]

Please chill on the "dick" stuff. One more, and we close the thread.

Thanks,

Your Neighborhood Gort Party-Pooper.

You gotta admit, HZ, despite it being incredily non-PC, it was very funny!

Guess the d*** jokes struck me differently. The "queer" comment wasn't particularly endearing, either. Not the sort of post I expect to read here.

My nomination for a recent gross TV commercial is one of those "got milk?" ads where a dog's slurping noises are close mic'd and just go on and on.

Watching TV with my 76 year old Mom, and here are two spots for Vagisil - hey, they control odor! Yay!

Eeew. Your post wins in my book, so far.

You know, there really should be an ongoing poll of sorts where the funniest posts are uploaded as they happen, and voted on. With links to them, so no-one's left asking 'but WHERE IS that post?'.

Of course it'd require the intervention of a Gort from time to time to edit the poll when a new post is added, and I can't think of who would choose what posts go up, or how.

Still personally I like the idea. :)

And Jeff, please don't take this the wrong way but (unless I missed something), Mike's d*** post was the only one. The others were just giving him props for it.

[lv70smusic]

When I used the plural "jokes," I was merely referring to the multiple comments within Mike's post.

This thread is simply not in the spirit of the Forum. We are shutting it down...
