Title: Things You've Learned From Commercials
Post by: InformationGeek on January 14, 2010, 08:14:16 PM
Commercials are always fun, depending on the right one or the right company.  Here's a few:

If you don't switch to Capital One, Vikings will get you.

If you are obsessed over a cereal, you will turn into a furry monster.

Certain body sprays make you irresistible to women.

So, what have you guys learned?

Chinese dry cleaners call their technique an "ancient Chinese secret" when they actually just use Calgon.

Dow bathroom cleaner contains sentient bubbles who enjoy "going down the drain together!".

When faced with an adverse situation, or angry people, just hold up a roll of Mentos and smile.  Everything will be all right.

I've learned that jewelry will definitely get you kissed (or more) when you present it to your spouse.

People, for some reason, aren't surprised to see a lizard talking to them.

When you drink beer, armies of scantily clad women will show up out of nowhere to join you.

Never use Supervolt batteries, as they'll always fail you when you need them the most.

There's all these great foods that promote weight loss that, neatly enough, doctor's don't seem to know about.

I can't remember where I put my remote, car keys, or inhaler, but I can remember @%%@ing commercial jingles that I heard decades ago.

Crooked insurrance companies and drunk drivers upset Robert Vaughn more than Thrush taking over the world.
Cavemen are over-sensetive babies.
Everyone who makes millions of dollars from some "plan" sold on an infomercial hangs out at an exclusive pool party.
Cute puppies are obsessed with toilet paper.

Burger King is a very scary place.  I try to avoid the whole section of town where their restaurant is located.

Eating at a fast food restaurant - 7 days a week - is a fantastic way to lose weight.

Driving any car at any speed is something that should only be attempted by a trained professional on a closed course.

The local restaurant named "Bub's" is actually pronounced "Boobs".

Last year, I bought a 2 DVD set called DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL.  It's a compilation of about 6 hours worth of TV commercials from the 1950s through the 1970s.  It's interesting to see what commercials have tried to teach us over the years.

Advertising execs seem to think using a popular song and changing the lyrics slightly to promote their product is a brilliant bit of marketing.  

They also think "weird" or "silly" sells, whether or not it has anything to do with the product.

Every time you make crescent rolls you'll have to poke a small man made out of dough in the stomach.

People who eat at Sonic enjoy really stupid conversations. 

Some burgers are protected by alarms. 

A place with a rodent as a mascot not only sells food but is a place where kids go to have fun. 

Giving a girl jewelry must always be preempted with an awful pun or line.

most prescription pills have horrific side effects...but you should take them anyway

if you are in debt, you should pay someone to consolidate your debt...even though you could do it on your own

using a feminine hygiene product gives you a feeling like a day at the park, or dinner with girlfriends, or day at the beach(etc. etc.)

using male enhancement products makes all your girlfriends want your man's package...and that's ok with you.

stars with millions of dollars use weight loss products and/or excercise products to look perfect in a SUPER short time...has nothing to do with fact that they have the $$ to get lypo.

you should pay $1.50 and over for a bottle of water...even though a few years ago, we got it free out of the tap, and at some point it was drinkable.

you should believe in true love and love a man for his spirit...but getting a REALLY big diamond from Jared (insert jeweler here) helps alot!

Commercials don't have to have anything to do with their product, as long as they have quirky humor.
Wherever you go with your cell phone, dozens of phone company employees will follow you around.

Going for a walk outside is a boring, painful, inconvenient ineffective and downright dangerous way to get exercise. A machine in your house is better.

With a good wax, you can put a high gloss on scrap cars.

A good car wax can replace hundreds of dollars worth of body work.

Hercules could only lift 300 pounds.

Blankets are difficult to use.

Although we aren't told what it does, Viagra appears to be an antidepressant.

People are surprisingly gullible the moment you mention a brand name.

The Burger King got even creepier when he started rapping about how he wanted to have sex with Spongebob Squarepants (how the execs thought "Baby Got Back" was an appropriate song choice for their commercials designed to push a crappy toy that came with kids' meals I'll never know).

Women who shave their legs while having a bath may "accidentally" throw the razor several feet (possibly clear across the room).

Goths are actually vampires that can be easily defeated with garlic pizza.

Women friggin' love to clean their houses.

It is our duty to eat turkeys whenever possible because it turns out that they're actually terrorists.

Getting a cell phone may result in you being stalked by a crowd.

It's actually quite creepy to have talking animals trying to sell you meat products. Seriously...they're selling out their kin.

An enhanced male looks a lot like a creepy, grinning idiot from the 1960s.

A glass of artifically flavoured sugar water is worth the cost of masonry repair.

A lot of the things I consider easy and convenient are really a pain in the butt.

A British accent somehow makes products seem less crappy.

Babies excrete a clear blue liquid.

Planning your funeral ahead of time will fill you with optimism.

Family heirlooms just take up valuable space, especially if they're made of gold.

Wal-Mart is staffed by helpful, knowledgeable people who are happy to be working there.

You can print The Lord's Prayer on any piece of junk, and somebody will buy it.

Cheap commemorative coins are legal tender if some third-world country is paid to recognize them as such.

Juicing vegetables is much better for you than just eating them.

Wearing an ugly metal bracelet can give you a feeling of wellbeing, but nobody appears to know how or why or even what it does.

Looking back, it should have been pretty obvious that Billy Mays was on something.

You can get a professional bodybuilder's physique using a Bowflex machine.

It's all right to discriminate against silly rabbits.

Eating hamburgers in front of characters with hamburgers for heads is neither creepy nor insensitive.

If some suicidal fish asks to be put in a can, it probably won't taste good.

Women go nuts for guys who douse themselves with cheap aftershave.

Heating up a small pre-cooked beef roast makes any meal feel like a special occasion.

Sugar Bear has to steal his own cereal.

While watching a TV show, you'll spend one-third of your time watching commercials for other TV shows.  And if you tune in to see those shows, you'll spend one-third of your time watching commercials for the show you're watching right now.  This ensures that the audience maintains a high level of interest in the TV shows.
