Edie Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I was a fan of the mid 60s Jergens commercials "how would you like to shake hands with a lobster?" and a lobster would be shown poking out of a sleeve. Same with hair brushes etc. And the ubiquitous "hey Mikey" Life cereal commercial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

c.lo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Anyone seen the "Pedi Paws" commercials? they're to trim your cat or small dog's nails. Looks scary. My cat wouldn't go for it. I took "Advertising" in college & I had a 2hr class every week (for a year), where all we did was watch commercials. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Gym Teacher Man Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 i tried to find it on youtube but failed, but my favorite commercial was the mcdonald's commercial from the 90s where ronald is talking to two kids and a phone rings and ronald says "you don't say. you don't say." and hangs up. then the kids say "who was it ronald?" and ronald replies "they didn't say." i loved that commercial. loved it.

He's making like he would have been able to buy a nicer car had he known his credit score earlier. But that doesn't make any sense. If his credit score sucked, it wouldn't have mattered when he became aware of it. He still would only be able to get the shitty car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jules Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The thing I don't understand is... He's making like he would have been able to buy a nicer car had he known his credit score earlier. But that doesn't make any sense. If his credit score sucked, it wouldn't have mattered when he became aware of it. He still would only be able to get the shitty car.Maybe he is implying that had he been aware that he could easily check his credit, or even that his credit rating mattered, he would have been able to prevent it from getting so poor in the first place.

austrya Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I told my husband that I want to get some snuggies just for the purpose of wearing them to sporting events to embarrass our kids. I would die if my parents showed up to one of my games with those things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
