Anybody else hate that commercial

Where this older lady comes up to this younger lady, stoops over and smells her and says "you smell just like my Walter". The young girl looks like

ewwwwww .  We are all suppose to realize Walter is dead and now she's drawed to smells from yesterday.   I'd go get away from me LOL

 

Think it's Aspercreme.   Silly commercial.

It is annoying, I agree.  

 

Are they that desperate for ideas for this cream?

I'd be afraid if I did that somebody, especially now days, would bop me upside the head and holler "old B get the**** away from me". just go buy a tube and smell all You want. LOL

Yes, I hate it also, but apparently not for the same reason you do.  I think it is a slam against older people which seems to be perfectly OK these days.

Yeah, has a tendency to present seniors as needy and slightly off balance

@SharkE Thank goodness, that's one I haven't seen!  I try to avoid all commercials.  I've gotten pretty good at it, if I say so myself!  It sounds really gross!

They all annoy me. Car sales. Screaming people makes me reach for mute button.  Pity commercials to get money are awful.

I Think the point they were making is do you want to smell like old man liniment?

I have seen that commercial, I think it's funny.  It's silly but I smile  every time.
