Hey, Nicorette: What are We Seeing?

It's a silly commercial.  It's eye-catching.  It's got a beat.  It's also got tiny 2 inch tall musicians hiding out in the center console of some lady's car.  Now it's starting to sound like a hallucination.  She takes the gum, chews the gum, and then sees the tiny people jamming out.

Hey, Niccorette:  Did you mean to say that?

Geico, what are you saying happened?

This commercial is really funny, but don't think about what must have happened too hard - it leads the mind into some pretty nasty places. Hey, Geico, did you mean to say that?



And of course, the "Let me get that for you, sir" commercial. It's just too fun to pass up.



I still wonder, just where did the phone and wallet come from?

Hey, Ford!

Is this really what you mean to say? I see your Sync commercials, and all I can think is: "Do I really want an MP3 player in my car that takes 20 seconds or longer to find the file?" or "So I want my cell phone to take 20 seconds to figure out how to make the call?"

Come on! I want my mp3 player to be quick, and my cell phone to make calls immediately.







Hey, the robots are cute, but there's way too much time delay between command and execution.

Hey, Skittles!

This Skittles commercial has been around for awhile, and I just finally had to say something about it! What on earth is appetizing about candy that comes from a tree that's growing from a teenage boy's stomach? The impression I got from watching the commercial is that if you eat too many Skittles, a tree will grow from your stomach. Yay. That just turned me off Skittles for a long, long time. It'll take some real work on their part before I look at Skittles as an appetizing little candy, again.

Hey, Skittles! Did you mean to say that?

Hey, Toyota!

I've been watching this Toyota commercial for months, now, and it still gives me the impression that if you buy the advertised product, you'd be throwing your money away! The main scene in the commercial is a balding man and his wife, standing in front of a new minivan, and he is just brushing money out of his hand with a sappy grin on his face while she dances around on it. The overall appearance? Buy this vehicle, and you'll be throwing your money away on it for a long time to come.
