(113,389 posts)Yes, they are a bit boring, but I do like seeing him. Good that he's still around.
Now, you want to rail, how about those damned walk-in shower ads or the Home Warranty ads (especially the ones with the attractive Latino couple in the bathroom, who look for all the world like siblings--eh ) or the ridiculous reproducing car warranty ads, or the LUME' deodorize- your- entire- body, rather than taking a damned shower ads (thank you, Dr. Shannon Klingmon, who I am happy to say doesn't dare step into a OB-GYN conference again, as her colleagues HATE HER), or the radio ad for some damned psych-relaxation app voiced by a woman trying so hard to sound soothing that she sounds like the psych patient voice over on all those horror movies...
Time for me to take a major break from all sources of ads...LOL

On the other hand, I've used Charmin for even longer, but if I saw a blue bear I might be tempted to shoot it. Also, don't get me started on any ads for medicines.
Advertising was revolutionized by Hawaiian Punch (POW!) and VW (Lemon) back in the very early '60s. I think it needs another revolution.

the results are enough to make me want to go dancing in the streets.
It's a terrific diabetes killer.

(486 posts)Actually, it isn't the dancing, it's the singing that bugs me. Fortunately, a bad commercial is no indication of how the advertised acts. I'm just mighty happy that PCPs don't go by how good or bad an ad is when considering what meds to prescribe.
