Ha...I must have missed that. What hard-hitting questions did they have about Ronny? Maybe something on his life in the rough-and-tumble streets, livin' it up with all the kids.

NBA Gear Ads
Actually I was referring to the NBA Gear ads that started just after the A.S.G. with players from everywhere hawking jerseys etc. I suppose Chris may have done those earlier too, but I found the timing curious, and just assumed they taped the clips during All Star W/E. Either way, I take exception to what I perceived as a lack of respect for our guys.

i hate fast food commercials. the carl's jr one with that SKANK paris hilton make me want to throw my TV out the window. the mcdonalds ones are annoying too.
the one i REALLY hate is that stupid brawney add with the dog. the guy's cleaning baking a cake, finds a mess and is like " what's this??? nothing brawney can't handle" and wipes it up like he's trying to get some. GAWD that guy is so creepy!!! his dog is cute though

Oh please. That guy looks like he performs unnatural acts with stuffed animals...
And I love the "before" and "after" with the guy who looks like John Goodman as the before and the Basedow guy as the after.
"Would you like to go from this (Goodman)... to this (Basedow)?"
No, actually I'd rather do a frontal lobotomy on my own brain with nail clippers, but thank you so much for asking.
BLECH!!!

Notice how the majority of the people in the "After" photos in the Basedow ads are obviously sucking it in while the photo is being taken.
Most of my most hated ones have already been mentioned:
--Carl's Jr. Carl Karcher hast to be flippin' his wig at how his old restaturant chain is marketed now. I'll only set foot in them again if they reduce the Famous Star price down to 99 cents for limited times. Otherwise I'm heading to In-N-Out every time.
--Six Flags parks. A Six Flags rep stated in an article that the kid-as-old-guy has become extremely popular. It was reading that, coupled with the success of The Pacifier, where I lost all hope in humanity. Seeing his mug on billboards everywhere makes me believe taggers could be useful for once in their lives.
--Valtrex. I didn't choose to, but I've actually memorized the ads. I chuckle whenever I hear the "It's a brand new day!" jingle. They used to play an older ad with a guy on a motorcycle, and the jingle was "Livin' the life I want!" That one was hilarious.
--Pepto Bismol. Sometimes truth in advertising doesn't work to your advantage.
--Quiznos. Baby Bob has always gotten on my nerves. Anything that involves babies talking or dancing or some other form of grown-up functioning is something I find more disturbing than cute.
--Listerine. Another truth-in-advertising error. Watching the man or woman making those faces when they're supposedly swishing the mouthwash in their mouths is highly unappealing (I always turn my head away now). And wouldn't you want to convey to consumers that the act itself isn't as tough as people claim it is? They're basically admitting that using it is too tough for your regular Joe.
A downside to working nights is the endless ads for car insurance and trade schools during the days on the local stations.

Awww man! Hearing you guys talk about commercials is really making me homesick, cause I have no idea what you are talking about..The only one I know is the Six Flags guy because it was on when I came out to visit last year..my kids LOVED it and the darn song does get stuck in your head.
Funky Kingston..your hot air balloon/diarrhea comment had me rolling on the floor! Although I have to admit that is the first thing I think about when I see one of those things. What do you do if you have to go to the bathroom up there?

What I think is weird is the way he holds his arm in front of himself..It's freakish. How about when he went blond..for about a week?? Weird.
I'm always mesmerized by his giant bobble head.
That, and I wonder if he knows that the pink triangle in his logo has a different meaning.

I hated that commercial for the NBA with all those bugs on the bball court!
The commercial with the toe nail fungus where the "fungus" comes out from underneath this nasty lookin toe nail..that disgusts me! as well as the one where someone is about to jump in their bed and theres all this grimy stuff all over the sheets
and i couldn't stand the Kobe sprite commercial where he smiled like the grinch..but that commercial was taken off the air in no time LOL. i think its funny how u don't see Kobe in any commercials anymore..at least not over here on the east coast

how bout those stupid cell phone screen saver bs commercials? those are horrible... so is the commercials for those girls that want guys to call and chat with them... obviously, its probly some unatractive women talking to u, but at least ur talking to someone and the point im trying to make is they have these new ones that say, "forget calling, try texting". that is even worst. who knows, u might even be talking to some flat slob.

I love the joke one. Sends you jokes to your phone every day. 99 cents per joke, 5 jokes per week. That's more than I pay for internet, and the jokes are free out here. I'd love to meet someone who actually signed up for that offer.

I saw it on the Daily Show. They asked him about McDonalds new "healthier" menu and how the Hamburgler has lost wieght while Grimace is still fat. Ronald responded that Grimace is actually in great shape...for a Grimace. Quality news journalism.
