Oh man those Honey Bunches of Oats commercials get to me because they YELL at you to buy the freakin' cereal! It's almost as bad as that Oxy Clean guy that shouts everything. Whoever said that screaming at potential customers was a good marketing idea should have their heads checked.

Tell me about it. "ARE YOU HUNGRY??" Not anymore, ya cow! And Billy Mays and his Oxy Clean, give a tire iron and 5 minutes alone with him, no judge on the planet will blame me. But the people who came up with these screamers shouldn't have their heads examined, they should be lobotomized.

What gets me about Oxi Clean isn't Billy Mays. It's that one commercial where they show UP-CLOSE-AND-PERSONAL images of extremely dirty toilets REPEATEDLY, as if the cameraman had a sick fetish of it.

And I can't stand the "Honey Bunches of Oats" commercials because the people in it act in a very pompous way and treat their cereal as if it were the greatest thing ever invented.

Well, don't most cereal commercials do that? I, personally, like the Honey Bunches of Oats commercials. I also like the cereal. I think it's EXTREMELY delicious. Take that, HBO haters!!! HBO... Haha, I kill myself... XD

The only commercial that has REALLY pushed my buttons lately is that stupidly, annoying GAP commercial with Audrey Hepburn dancing around in that black body suit. It has seriously been BEATEN to death over and over again.

I'm sick of the song, sick of her lines from the clip, and just sick of it in general. I fail to even remotely comprehend how this ad is going to make me want to buy clothes from that store.

SkittleMonkey · 10-05-2006, 06:47 PM

I haven't been watching tv that much lately, so I haven't seen that commercial. By the sounds of it, I should think I don't want to see it, correct?

Mr. Marshmallow · 10-05-2006, 06:57 PM

Correct.

Audrey says these lines from a movie or show, I can't tell where it's from but then she dances and the music comes on.

And it just is really stupid, it's the most offtrack commercial I've seen. No clothes connection even in the slightest sense.

But odds are judging by it's unfortunate popularity and constant replays, you'll end up seeing it whether you want to or not.

Well then, maybe I should just avoid TV. I need to stop being lazy anyway. XP
