Twix

If you haven't seen this major advertising debacle, say thank you. It's the "Left Twix" vs. "Right Twix." And I ask you: who gives a damn? They're EXACTLY the same. And, prepare to have your mind blown, the left one BECOMES the right one if you turn the package over. Shocking! Please pull this ad.

"The" Ragu Commercial

I saw it once and it became an internet sensation, I haven't seen it since. I have to say, while it is hilarious, creative, and unforgettable it's also really inappropriate and the product is completely unrelated to the substance in the commercial. Spaghetti, no matter how good, cannot undo the damage done by seeing your parents en flagrante dilecto. However, it's hard to argue with results- everyone's talking about it. Still, it doesn't make me want to buy Ragu anymore than I did before.

I LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL

This one may be a personal favorite because I am the perfect demographic for it. It's the Peyton/ Giants vs. DeMarcus Ware/Cowboys family feud commercial. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=A_ktRaVHmJc&feature=endscreen and it's brilliant. Although to be fair it seems all the great advertising comes from sports these days- NFL, ESPN, NASCAR, etc. Granted, I am a football fan, on the verge of fanatic. Granted, I am the mother to a young girl. Granted, I want her to follow in the long tradition my family has of rooting for a particular NFL team but c'mon, how great is this commercial?!

Totino's pizza rolls

I put this off. I put off this critique for a long time, thinking that perhaps I was overreacting. I thought perhaps my "suspension for disbelief" is higher than others. I can no longer hold my tongue. I HATE YOUR COMMERCIAL!!! First, the kid calls his mom with the freezer door open. First, what kid does this? Show me someone that stands in front of their freezer with the door open talking on the phone for 30 seconds. There are a total of 3 items in the freezer. You mean to tell me the kid can't see the pizza rolls? Bah. The kid says, "Mom, we're dying." To which she replies, "No you're not." Well, no $h1t. If he was literally dying this would be a completely different commercial so I think pointing out that he is, in fact, NOT dying is redundant. Then she directs him- "Front, left, center." How does she even know he's standing with the freezer door open? Hmm, perhaps this is a habit of this kid of which the audience is unaware. So what does the kid do after this very specific and helpful directions from mom? Puts the phone down in the freezer. Doesn't hang up, no "thank you" or "goodbye" just sets the phone in the freezer and walks away. If I had left the phone in the freezer, ever, I would never hear the end of the blond jokes after my mother had finished yelling at me. THIS COMMERCIAL IS AWFUL!!!
