Why though?   Why do they have to use a beloved children's character from literature and make him obnoxious and horrible?  

 

None of their commercials make sense to me.

I don't particularly care for the ad, but I absolutely love the "look" JoAnn shoots back at the little twerp. Ha!

Because, look at us right here- we are talking about their company, and that is what advertising strives to do...Name and product recognition..

Again, I generally don't care for the GEICO ads, but I don't mind Peter Pan or the new one I saw a couple minutes ago.  It's a mom calling her son at an inopportune moment because that's what moms do.

 

This one's kinda cute, actually.

Just saw the updated coffee commercial: the "kid" is now married and his Mom is holding the baby.  Very nice.

Re: I detest this TV ad

[ Edited ]

Ditto for all the ads mentioned so far.  The one that irritates me recently:  Silent Night is playing in the background and abandoned dogs and a cat are shown while monthly donations for the aspca are requested.  Hate the use of that Christmas carol for this purpose.

I hate the cancer or hospital commercials.  They are painful for me to see.
