Poll question: Most hated tv commercial jingle?
Edited on Fri Sep-03-04 10:37 PM by undisclosedlocation
I'll add more (and as always Other) as they get nominated in replies. Obviously, I hate the fake Springsteen-style auto-parts anthem.

As to Charmin Ultra, does this update the old question to "Does a bear use toilet paper when he shits in the woods?" (Everybody: Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!)

1. Old Mr. Hero one
Think it went something like "So open up your mouth a little bit wider and let a mr hero slide inside ya" at least it sounded like that to me when I was a kid...

Yah, Pepto Bismol!" with actors pantoming the symptoms. Very nasty. The SINGLE most sickening ad on television

10. Dingdingdingding I think we have a winner
Anyway, I'm adding it. There's all of 2 votes so far, so winning isn't likely to be a big challenge.

11. What you said.
I literally cringed when i saw that ad.

What a way to end a career.

Mimicking diarrhea etc on national television.

Glad that one lasted only a couple weeks.

At least that I have seen.

15. That disgusting shit has been airing for weeks down here...
I immediately "mute" the commercial as soon as it starts. It really makes me ill.

20. Agreed.
Guess I don't have much time to watch tv lately.

And thanks to my kids, it is mostly SpongeBob when I do get the chance.

7. Does a bear use toilet paper
I had heard.... rabbits.

Which brings to mind the old joke....

A bear is going in the woods... and a rabbit happens by...

The bear asks the rabbit if he has trouble with crap sticking to his fur and the rabbit proudly states that he never has such trouble....

So the bear picks up the rabbit and well you know what he does...

First time I heard it I laughed... it was long ago... still makes me chuckle a little.

8. Sprint - "Business Is Beautiful"
I'm pretty sick of that one. "With Sprint in my business, my business is beautiful." Soul-less people dancing wildly to dollar signs. Pretty pathetic. CNN runs it every damn morning.

23. Too true; sorry it's too late to edit the poll
but a definite stinkburger. I usually listen to tv rather than watch, so I didn't even know what this was advertising, but I'll certainly assiduously avoid buying Bridgestone now.
