I Don't Get Some Commercials

Have you seen the one with Michael Phelps for Colgate and, um, saving water?  It's just so utterly ridiculous and weird.  He's brushing his teeth and talking (or trying to talk) at the same time.

I can't stand to even look at that guy let alone see him in a commercial.

Some TV commercials leave me scratching my head wondering what they are selling. I'm guessing that whoever paid for them has wasted their money.

Actually a lot of commercials these days are to teach us a diversity lesson.....

I don't get most commercials...because I don't pay any attention to them!

Most are boring, but there is a new one from Allstate Ins where the teenager is standing at his Mom and Dad's room trying to explain his "fender bender".  It is so cute.  Has anyone seen it?

People brushing their teeth ,walking around the home and talking makes me gag.  They call them personal habits for a reason.

I don't get some of them either, but this commercial got your attention and we are talking about it so the commercial did succeed in generating interest.   I doubt it will make us run out and buy Colgate though.

Re: I Don't Get Some Commercials

Saw this car commercial on the Internet............

 

A young boy comes out of the house and sees his Dad fussing over his new car - polishing every inch and using a toothbrush around the tiny spaces........

 

Kid says - "Dad, is that my toothbrush?"

Dad - "No, it's your Mothers"
