HookTheBrotherUp,
I couldn't agree more. Terrible advertising. Almost as bad as the Restasis commercial with that awful woman who says, "Prescription? What do I have?" or "You use Restasis..." and then she gives that stupid nod and silly face. Ugh, anyway, good to know it's not just me that thinks that as well!

Jason

We were joking around at work a few days ago about the "14 day challenge". I'll just say it involved yogurt and someone staying in the bathroom for a long time. LOL

Who thought that saying "It's really good" with food in the mouth should be fired... maybe it is how they eat and talk, but not the majority.

Yeah, I khow it's trivial, and just a commercial... so what? That is why these forums exist.
Absofreakinfu**inglutely. That's not really a word......but it gets the point across.

Anyway Activia seemed the same as any yogurt, I tried it sometime last year NBD......
My wife spoke up before me too. We figured it was just yogurt. Yogurts with 'active cultures' do the same thing. 'Active cultures' - Activia - HELLOooo.

I so agree with you on this commercial. I absolutely hate it. I like Activia okay, but I don't want to buy it just on principle . That dorky guys does look just like he's about to puke and it makes me want to!

I'd have to say the ExtenZe commercials are particularly nauseating (albeit incredibly laughable with the "blowup doll" actresses they use to hawk product).

I'd also have to include "green" commercials that are on the five-year old level complete with pop up cartoon flowers and prancing animals.

(3) Ally Bank a subsidiary of a car company that the taxpayers bailed out. You know; where the kid wants a pony. One gets the shaft(consumers) and the other gets a real live pony. LOL.

These are a few that bother me; COME ON...Get it off your chest...What commercials do you hate!.. But watch anyway...LOL.
Ditto number 2. I like the Ally Bank ads although I despise banks but the thing with the new kid gets the ice cream is pretty funny.
