The Dipstick Guy
In this commercial you will see that the male doctor is the same guy who whacked people with the dipstick from the post I did a few months ago.  It looks like he thought with his dipstick and went to medical school. I guess beating the crap out of people wasn't working out for him.

Our Favorite
Gloria and I were at Aubrey's house the other day and we both commented on how retarded this commercial is. It is a local Utah commercial that just plain sucks in every way. The Audio is horrible, the background is horrible and the girl talking is probably the most horrible. But remember ladies you need to "put that sexy little indulgence, back into your life." Emily let us know if idaho can top this.

Women, Please Don't
Gloria saw this one on TV without me and told me i needed to do it. Thank you honey. I first want to say that this should not be called bump it. This should be called Utahhair.com. No women should use this product. It is very unattractive to pretend that you are hiding something in the back of your hair. When I am out and about and I see women with this type of hairdo I just think to myself, "why would women want to have an unatural hump on the top of their head." It looks like a birds nest. I'm always waiting for a bird to come flying out of that thing. Also in this commercial there is a part where they are describing what attitude goes with this hair. When they come to the word "flirty" they show an 11 year old girl. What mom wants her 11 year old to be flirty. So please women around the world do not use this product. Women from Utah i'm sorry but there is no hope for you. You somehow have managed to pull this look off for decades without this product.

Future Mob Boss
This is my favorite commercial the last few weeks. The Windows Vista commercials are starting to do a good job of showing how easy it to use the Vista operating system. They have little kids showing us how they can be creative with the computer. There are commercials with the little girl who is 4, the other little girl of 7, but the funniest one is with Adam who is 8. When you watch the video down below notice that this kid is like an 8 year old mafia Don in training. With his thick east coast accent and his tough guy attitude you want to meet this kids parents and learn just a little bit more about him. When he makes his movie about a tiger that eats all the other animals you really start to see the mind of this kid at work. Watch his face when he says, "He's a very violent tiger." He looks like a mini Robert Dinero. When he says he needs to put the slide show to some music he cracks me up with this line. "Something catchy, I like it." The funniest part is that it is a very heavy orchestral opera. Then he hits a home run when he says, "I'm gonna screen this puppy for ya." I lose it every time he finishes with that line. He is also kind enough to inform us of his mob nick name in the future. " Mr. Teeth." So enjoy it down below.

Fedex Commercial
OK, this one is not something I am going to pick apart. This is just simply an example of a well thought out commercial that is actually funny. I hope you enjoy this one. Bravo to the guys who came up with it.

I hear you loud n clear
Because Emily and John requested this one and it is one of my personal favorites we just have to do it. It looks like this is turning into an infomercial commentary more than just commercials but I'll try to mix it up. First lets hope you have all seen this one. You can watch it down below if you need to refresh your memory. Apparently this thing makes you a mind reader. When the lady yells out BINGO! she gets all excited before the guy even calls out the number. She starts flapping her arms and has that face like, " everyone look at me." She then is at a game of cards and is acting like she's the hot new chick in town. When she leans over to ask what trump was, her cards are showing and the guy say, "hearts" with his eyes checking out her hand. So it also makes you oblivious. Then the same lady is in church not listening to a sermon mind you but rather an entire congregation signing. Wow this lady really is deaf. I think I'm going to go to church with a blue tooth headset from now, it's just the new thing to do and it looks cool. If you notice the guy sitting behind the lady in church is the same cheater from the card game, and he's not signing. He actually has a smirk on his face probably because he made $50 bucks off the idiot in front of him. Now lets discuss the lady bringing in groceries while her neighbors talk about her husband and family. They say, "they just got another new car, he must be doing really well." The lady shakes her head like, "You have no idea, you stupid *$#^#@*. (Sorry for the swearing)
Lets be realistic. What do you think those ladies really said? "The Rogers just got a new car, who do they think they are trying to impress in this economy?, I bet her husband is cheating on her and his taxes." Who want's to hear that. Because that is what people say when their neighbor rolls up in a new ride. Another interesting point is when the moms are talking at the park and the little girl says, "wait for me." First her voice kills me every time, second if the mom has the device on for hearing her child from far away, how loud is the conversation she's having with her the other mom? Have you ever been to a party where you are the new guy/gal? Isn't it awkward when your standing by yourself with your blue tooth on just nodding to nobody. So these girls are talking about him and he's nodding like, "I am really cute. These girls know what's up." So after he introduces himself to the girls and they ask why he has his Blue tooth in his ear, what is he supposed to say? "UHHHH, this is actually a super sonic listening device to eavesdrop at parties." Or, " UHHHHH, This isn't a phone." Or, "I am expecting a call so I thought I would just rome the party with my phone in my ear." Lose/lose situation don't you think? Apparently the guy at his sons baseball game didn't realize that over a hundred years ago the guys who invented the game created hand signals that indicate whether a player is safe or out. This was invented so that people who are 200 feet away know what just took place. But if you really want to hear what the guy said just to make sure his hand motions and his mouth are on the same page you should definitely have one of these things to verify.

Get me one!
I recently pulled all the muscles in my lower back because my wallet was so full. I hope none of you ever have to go through this painful experience. Having so much cold hard cash in my back pocket can really be a bummer. So I really need someone to get me the SLIM CLIP. In the commercial there is a guy who takes out his wallet and it is so full of cash that it flew out all over the place. If your biggest problem is that you have cash raining all around you because you have so much of it then life must be just awful. Then there is a lady who dumps out her purse all over the counter to find things. Several people have bulky wallets that are full to the brim. What these people need is not a Slim Clip, but a seminar on organization. A new trend in selling you things lately is showing that it can stand the blender test. Why do we need to see that everything we buy can't be destroyed by a blender? Has anyone ever had something that they bought, besides food, destroyed by a blender? I can't remember the last time I bought computer speakers and then came home to find my wife obliterating them in the blender, with her saying, " sorry honey, I guess you should have bought better speakers." So if I put my leather wallet in a blender and it got shredded does that mean that it's not worthy to hold my money? However I read a story about a young man who had the Slim Clip and he fell into a giant turbine while at work. His body was shredded to bits but the foreman was luckily able to determine who it was because his id was protected by the Slim Clip. But my favorite part of the commercial is when the guy puts cash in his slim clip and then shakes it with his fingers holding the back of it trying to make it look like the money can't fall out. Also they give you a free key chain flashlight. There is a guy at a restaurant using it to see his menu. Not that this is the funniest thing ever, but It just gets me every time I think about using a flashlight to look at my menu at a restaurant. I think I am going to start do this every time at a restaurant whether it's dark or not.

Finally !!!!
I have seen this commercial for a long time now and can't get over the many things wrong with it. I don't know how many of you understand the difference between a PC and a Mac, but I am assuming you do. When the commercial starts notice that the guy is using a mac. Then also notice the girl trying to check her email is using a mac. Then the girl trying to check her email has her computer crash with the windows operating system. Wow, how did they do that! OK I know what your thinking, "so they mixed up the operating systems of a mac and a PC, big deal." You're right, not that big a deal, simple mistake. Then notice at the bottom of the screen where it says "For PC use only" So you are advertising with macs while your product only works on PC's, Brilliant! What a bunch of idiots. Also to protect people like my mother, do not visit this site to fix your computer. This site uploads the very same spyware, addware, and every other kind of virus to your computer while you are checking for these things and then makes you pay to get rid of them. It's like going to a doctor because you have a headache and the doctor says "here drink this" and it makes you even more sick. Then he charges you for the operation so he can remove the object he put in your drink. I don't know how they get away with it but they do. Remember Mom do not visit this site to speed up your computer. If you want to speed up your computer you should probably upgrade your 256 MB of RAM.!

Oh Vince
Those of you who are still cutting your vegetables by hand must have a real boring life. I can't even imagine that you are wasting your time with actually preparing your meals by hand. According to Vince down below you are really in for a great time. Why are you in for a great time, because you are about to see one of my favorite infomercials. "The Slap Chop" This guy Vince also brought you the "Shamwow." I find it hilarious that he says the phrase "your going to love my nuts." Why on earth would the producer of this or the company selling it think, "Dynamite, what a line." This guy for some reason gives me the willies every time I see him. I try to picture myself at a friends  house with this guy coming over and actually meeting him. I would definitely not let him around my wife. I just don't trust this guy. There is not a whole lot to say just watch it and enjoy. Oh by the way there is an audio clip of Billy Mayes saying that he hates this guy. I mean a clip of Billy Mayes yelling that he hates this guy.

Sprint is so classy
This one is going to be short. Have you seen the Sprint Cell phone commercials? The commercials were the CEO of Sprint Mobile is walking down the street or sitting in a bar in black and white with classical music playing? He tells us that we should expect more from a cell phone company and if we pay $100 a month we can get it all. Why on earth would someone sitting at home say to themselves "you know I think I need to switch to this classy, elegant cell phone company run by this guy." Why would sprint think that we want to see a commercial that advertises themselves as sophisticated and then walk into there crappy stores in the mall with no customers and yellow walls? I don't even know anybody with Sprint. It's like the worst company pretending to be for the upper class. Talk about missing your audience.
Think with your what?
So Castrol Gtx, is a company that sells oil for your car. They have this commercial which can be seen below about a Scottish guy who whips people with a dipstick used to measure your oil content in your engine. I'll be honest this is a funny one for me  and all 12 year old boys. However lets take a look at what is going on here. If you were a grown man and every time you chose to put an oil inside your car would you want a random Scottish guy appearing out of thin air and then assaulting you with a thin metal rapier? How creepy is that? I understand the adult humor that is supposed to be applied here with the whole "think with your dipstick", but i have to say women have been trying to get men for centuries to not think with their dipstick, and then when we think with our brains we are physically attacked by a real life Groundskeeper Willie? (Simpons refrence) What a scary scenario. Watch below and when the guy gets hit by Willie, think to yourself, I would turn around and deck that guy back to Scotland, but this guy just takes it. So next time you get your oil changed, for your own safety think with your dipstick.

The Snuggie is Uggggly!
(Below is the video for this thing.) So I am thinking if you have watched TV in the last 6 months you have seen this thing advertised. I have a few problems with this item. Actually I don't have problems with the item but rather the commercial. If I am in the comfort and privacy of my own home what the heck lets put it on and keep warm. However, if you have friends or family come over to visit, you should probably put the "Friar Tuck" outfit away. This makes me laugh every time I see this on TV. I wasn't going to write about this one because it is a low budget commercial that obviously sucks, but I just couldn't help myself. The part that gets me laughing every time is when the family is at the soccer game High-Fiving each other. They look like a group of clans men without the hood. Imagine you're at the kids soccer game and all of the sudden the Johnson family comes up the bleachers all wearing matching monk outfits. You would loose it right there, and if they sat next to you, how could you hold a serious conversation with them? How could you old any kind of conversation with them? I wasn't going to get one until they threw in that reading light for free. What a deal!

Poor Italians
So have you ever been to a really nice Italian restaurant? Maybe you have known an Italian who lives in America and has made you the best Italian food you have ever had. Maybe you have even been to Italy and experienced the sweet aromas, delicious flavors and great culture in person. I imagine you have told everyone about the most authentic Italian food you have eaten and wish you could relieve it again. Now put yourself in the shoes of Italians who eat this wonderful food everyday. So here is the commercial, Pizza Hut claims to be in Italy and secretly serves the lasagna to Italians who then rave about how it is the best lasagna they have ever had. Are you kidding me! You expect use to believe that a group of native Italians are eating Pizza Hut lasagna and  having the time of their life. We have two options here. Either these Italians were hand selected because of their lack of taste buds or this idea. Pizza Hut took a gamble on shooting a commercial in Italian with subtitles knowing that Americans don't speak Italian and that they could have the subtitles say whatever they wanted. They knew that if Italians saw the commercial it wouldn't matter because real Italians would never buy from Pizza Hut in the first place so they wouldn't be losing a customer base. I took a college level Italian class and learned a few things myself. What they are really saying is this, " This is the worst crap I have ever put in mouth." "It tastes like an American fast food chain made this garbage." "I am only smiling  because this is too funny and my mind can't comprehend what this mystery restaurant is serving us." So imagine you're an Italian in Italy walking down the street with your friends and family and suddenly someone says please enter this mystery restaurant and everyone must eat lasagna. "Oh, OK, this sounds like a great idea. Come on everybody lets go inside." Does Pizza Hut think we are morons, that cheap ingredients made by 16 year old kids who only work at Pizza Hut for 4 weeks is going to provide us with a lasagna that rivals if not surpasses homemade lasagna from Italy! All I have to say is if those Italians were telling the truth they should be exiled from Italy. So who is the joke on, Americans or Italians. Good one Pizza Hut.
Direct Insanity
Before I start this one I would like to preface that I worked in a bank as a teller. I know what it is like to be in a bank environment when hostility and fear are around.
Direct TV has a commercial where a bank robbery is taking place. There are several bank robbers with masks and guns. What a scary situation. However in the midst of this pant wetting experience a man takes out his mobile phone to quickly set his DVR at home so that he doesn't miss his favorite TV show. I know what your thinking? "Oh, how funny, it's a commercial." Your right it is just a commercial, but let us put ourselves in this situation for a brief moment. Your at your local bank standing in line to make a deposit. Your thoughts are running around about the dinner you need to cook, the kids you need to pick up, and the hope that this check your depositing is not just going into your bank account to cover the overdraft fee you pretended didn't exist. All of the sudden you hear "Get on the floor" You turn to see several masked men with guns taking over the bank. Your first thought of "Oh my gosh! I'm going to die" followed by " My family, my kids , my spouse." These are not your first thoughts. Lets get real, your thinking about how you might miss "Lost" tonight and you'll never understand what the heck is going on in that show. Your thinking, "What is one missed episode of Lost anyway, I could watch every episode twice and be just as confussed as a guy who only saw the previews." Your thinking, "I wonder who gets voted off Dancing with the Stars?" So you quickly pull out your expensive phone that costs more than a months paycheck which you shouldn't have bought because you don't have any money in the bank to begin with and try to hide while remotely controlling your DVR that also is to expensive for you to own, and setting it to record a TV show that you told yourself you would stop watching! All the while trying to be undetected for fear that a bank robber would miss interpret your phone dialing as calling the police. How dare that bank robber think I'm using my phone for the good of the bank and it's money. I am trying to set my DVR to record a program I don't really like in the first place just in case this situation gets out of control and I don't make it home on time. What a technology.

Creepy
When was the last time you went to a fast food restaurant and ate a meal that looked so good people couldn't stop staring at you? Or should I say stop staring at your meal. McDonald's has done it again. Their new add has a guy eating a quarter pounder with cheese that looks a hundred times better than it actually looks in person. A young attractive girl sits across from him ignoring the guy she is with, all the while stalking the guy with the quarter pounder. She bites her lip, plays with her straw and longingly wishes she was..... This is the part that just creeps me out. Does she wish she was the hamburger? Does she wish she was the guy eating the hamburger? Look lady if you want the hamburger stand up and buy yourself one you're already there. If you want the guy, stop using McDonald's commercials for your private interests. This commercial just makes me think if I was the guy eating the burger and a pretty girl was flirting with my hamburger while I was eating it, I would probably change tables. Come to think of it this scenario is not that far fetched, I have had this experience before, except the pretty girl was a middle aged man who needed a shower and treated his table as a home office. So next time your eating fast food that just mesmerizes people find the nearest exit as quickly as possible, to avoid an awkward situation.
Parties!
Have you ever seen a party that only has a bowl of fat free, extra healthy (meaning cardboard) tasting popcorn? Have you ever been to a party where grown women slide down a child's slide into a blow up pool full of balls while the other women through popcorn at her? This might be the worst party ever. Well Orville Redenbacher thinks this is a great way to spend an evening. The commercial shows a party where women are placing one or two potato chips in a bowl and then comparing the fun of their evening with the fun that the popcorn nuts are having. I'm going to be quit honest here, both of those parties look like a disaster. If I ever showed up to a party were that was all we ate and did then I would never speak to those people again. And for the women acting like an out of control daycare with no supervision, I would probably get a restraining order on them or move out of town. Whoever gave the go ahead on that commercial must not be a regular party goer, or ever attended a party for that matter. So next time you host a party please have real food and beverages to share with your friends.
