bingolong,
Mos def!

dougdigitalpro,

COUNT ME IN on that shit, too! I'll bring the butter, a DVX 100A, and a tripod!!

Since this has become a BAD commercial thread, ADD
the CHILI's Baby Back Ribs spots with Dominique Dawes
& Evander Holyfield. Other than just a paycheck...WHAT
were they thinking???

Oh, and the new JC Penny spots with the 11 year old
girls shaking their asses for the camera. WTF!!??

Smokey H,
If commercials are a refelction of our times, which i think they are. We are truly fucked!

It's weird, MOST commercials I see now I'm usually thinking, WTF!???

dougdigitalpro,

I never thought a Dairy Queen commercial could illicit such a passionate appeal. Is there something else you'd like to share with the class Doug? Seems like your hiding something. Hell i'll take an unfunny commercial over another series of those Mentos commercials from back in the day.

Hey guys - Living in England I never get to see any of these crazy commercials you're all talking about.
Any place I can go to to view these monsters?
(Especially this Dairy Queen one which started the thread - we don't get that over here...)

Joelmusick,
I don't know anywhere to view the commercials but trust me,
you don't want to see the Dairy queen commercial.

LOL No, dude. it's not stirring up any bad memories from my childhood or anything. I'm just not a violence freak and it seems that's what the culture is becoming, all sex & violence. I did see the JCPenny commercial with the little girl shaking her rump to the camera at the end and that is disturbing. What kind of parents are raising these kids?
I tell ya', on the Diary Queen thing, it would've been funny had he just got his tongue stuck and not screamed, just had a stupid look on his face. But the scream is so violent and then they cut to him talking about later and he's talking like half his tongue's missing. I guess I'm more pissed that it's just not funny. Bad execution (no pun intended). ;p

Joelmusick,

You don't go out looking for commercials, they find you. On the Telly, on the Radio, popping up on your computer and cell phone, in your restaurant menus, countless billboards, on benches and buses, on Taxi Hub Caps for got sakes, are you sure you want to go looking for them?

Anditsdeeptoo,

Believe me, I know they're everywhere. I mainly wanted to view this Dairy Queen one to make my own mind up. I like knowing what's going on in popular culture, particularly in the States where shock/gross out tactics seem to rule the roost.

Joelmusick,

Yeah, us Yanks love loud noises, pretty flashing lights, and obnoxious premises.
