I’ll admit it…I’m commercial sensitive.
When Burger King came up with the ad campaign with the Creepy Big-Headed King in the ads, I sent them a letter of protest.
Not that my letter made a difference. Dude is still in the commercials, and he still creeps the hell outta me.
Then there was the Levi’s commercial where the mannequin stalked the dude for
buying the jeans. Apparently, the mannequin wasn’t ready to part with his clothing and wanted the damn jeans back. Dude falls asleep on his couch and the mannequin is there, standing over the sleeping man, creeping the shit out of me.
But another commercial has now entered the relms of “ugh”. And this one isn’t creepy for the same reason the Big-headed King and the stalking mannequin. This one has taken creepy to the HNL. (For those of you who don’t watch Mad TV, HNL is a “Hole Nubba Lebel”–in English, that’s a Whole ‘Nother Level)
M&M’s M-Azing takes ho
me the blue ribbon for making me shudder intead of getting me to run out and buy their candy bar. If you haven’t seen the commercial, go ahead and click on the link and check it out. Go on. I’ll wait.
You see an old stationwagon parked on lover’s lane. The background music playing is “Almost Paradise” (Yes, the song from Footloose)
The camera pans around the car. Because of the steamed up windows, we can only conclude there is some heavy duty snogging going on.
Finally, we get a glimpse inside the car. We see an unwrapped chocolate bar (Yes, the chocolate bar is Nekkid) and hundreds of M&M minis lying next to it. (Orgy anyone?)
Then the sexy voice over comes: “Amazing. Colorful M&Ms deep inside a creamy chocolate bar…”
Oh. My. God.
I’m not sure how I feel about promiscuous chocolate.
Total creep factor.

OMG! Now that i have my precious (insert that creepy voice of Gollum’s) DVR, I rarely watch tv live anymore, hence I get to speed through the commercials.
I guess I’m not missing anything, huh?

Ewwww!!!!
What is WRONG with these ad people?!!!
Called Burger King to complain about women in skimpy outfits–on those little railroad cart cars–pumping french fries into an erection. I mean, come ON.
Called Carl’s Jr. when Paris Hilton made love to the water hose during a family viewing time commercial (my then 10-yr old daughter got creeped out. “What’s she doing, mommy?”).
Hate big-headed Burger King guy. He just looks so creepy and to make it worse, they put people in bed with him. Yuck.
But that M & M commercial has to beat them all in the ick-factor. Just…ewwww.

You guys watch WAY to much TV!! Get TIVO and miss the gross out factor! LOL
As for the M&Ms that doesn’t bother me as much as the BK dude or the mannequin. Although, when I come to think about it a little more, I’m wondering if the white stuff inside a raw egg is really…ummm ok…having a Paris Hilton moment here.
Ad people are trying to make chocolate sexy I guess, but then I think they need to take a look at a great Star Trek moment from the NextGen…Deanna Troi is eating a Hot Fudge sundae and the expressions on her face while Riker looks on are clearly indicative of an orgasm. THAT’s how sexy chocolate can be!

Er, I don’t know if I should thank you for explaining the M&M commercial to me or not… I saw it Friday night, twice, and both times cocked my head to the side and said, “Huh?”
Huh? is definitely better than EEeeww!
LOL! Have a great week, Mel! I hope it’s creepy commercial free.

I must not have been holding my mouth right…the link didn’t work. (Or was that like a fake-link-blonde joke?) I’m not sure I WANT to actually see the commercial, the description was bad enough.
Yes, we have to consider the health of our nation: commercials are geared toward the lowest common denominator.
One commercial I do love? The Magic Beer Fridge.

I have never seen that one! Someone in advertising didn’t “get” any, obviously.

The BK guy is gross. I used to work there during the great Fast Food Wars. I still have a T-shirt where the BK king is beating the Sh*&^*&$% out of the Clown.
I still LOVE IT!!!
