Anyone with blue pee report directly to your urologist. Do not pass Go, do not collect diapers or pads.

I hate any infomercials. Especially ones for exercise machines and cleaning products. The people always seem to be yelling don’t they?

There’s some allergy medicine commercial that keeps playing over and over here…the opening line is, “You know that song, ‘Time in a Bottle’?” To which my roommates and I go…”Um, no…” It’s kinda confusing, too. I think the repetition of it is pretty much why I hate it. haha

Any local commercials make me cringe, considering they’re usually selling cars or tractors. And we live in Oklahoma. Not a good combo.

I believe the enterprise rent-a-car commercials are meant to appeal to all the Sound of Music fans (like me) out there…we get excited by any “brown paper packages tied up with string”!

boffthewall–I too greatly enjoy that “credit report.com, baby” song with the 3 guys in the hatchback! =)

brooke – i’d say my favorite caveman commercial is the one where he’s on the people mover in the airport. coincidentally, there’s no talking in that commercial.

audra – cool! i figured someone has had that happen to them. we’re you crisply-dressed at the time?

mary – wow, laser-guided paper cutting! where can i get one??

I get annoyed by this one commercial for a paper cutter, the one with a light so you know where the blade will cut before you move it across the paper. They show someone cutting with regular scissors like they’re right handed cutting with their left. They’re cutting all zigzagged and whatnot. C’mon! It’s pathetic. I can see the convenience of having a paper cutter, but all that dramatization is crazy.

Hey, I’m proof that the car thing really happens. Christmas morning there was a brand new Honda Odyssey sitting on my driveway with the big bow and all….my friends hate me. And, with three boys, we’ve had to ban Axe at our house, too many Axe bombs. Maybe Drakar or Polo is the answer.

I don’t enjoy those caveman commercials…they aren’t funny, they are just pointless.

But i will say, i DO enjoy the new free credit commercials with the 3 guys singing! Hilarious!
