I am sure any day now he will see a commerical for Clear Blue Easy and think he is pregnant.
Well, did you know, it is now almost possible to tell if you are pregnant almost at the moment it happens.

LOL those are actually funny to me I don't mind them. My favorite is the one where he is Santa Claus and has a line full of women waiting to sit on his lap. Also the one when he steps out of the pool and everyone stares at his crotch.

I wonder if the company's sales tripled after those commercials aired. A pill that grows a third leg....sure.

Am I the only one aggravated by the RIDDEX commercial? Who believes rats and roaches will be driven away by electronic pulses or signals?

"No reason for STRANGERS coming into your home spraying POISON around your CHILDREN, FOOD and PETS!"

While showing the bug guy practically spraying the middle of the floor! Then the fake bug crawling up the wall while the woman is in the shower.

You know those are seriously annoying, but you gotta admit the guy who portrays Smilin Bob, does do a good job...but I have to wonder if he gets recognized and such...not sure I'd want that!!!

The J.G. Wentworth commercial where they all scream out their window "Its my money and I want it now"

I know their are stupid trust fund babies out there that probably will use this attorney to get a lump sum settlement but Oh does it grate on my nerves.

Ugh. She might be a nice person IRL but if I ever run into her I might have to punch her in the face. Throw in the Free Credit Report.com dude and I am headed to Oz for murder lol.

I don't like that asthma medication commercial with the shadow lady. The commercial is all computer animation and the lady talking and walking in it is just a shadow. I think it's creepy.

Is this one just not a sad commentary on so many people in this day? There are so many with the just "want it (whatever 'it' may be) NOW." attitude.
