And now a word from our sponsers.
Commercials I really don't like right now:
- That McDonald's one where the guy is in the head brace and his dorkwad friends are eating egg mcmuffins like they haven't been laid in 8 years - the giggling, seriously, has to stop.
- The Toyota "Lots on the Lot" event where the keys fall from the sky. Hate the music, and generally manage to get the channel changed right when I hear the lead in. But the song sticks in my head for far too long afterward, and usually won't get out until I am in my car cranking Pablo Cruise or something.
- Is it Ditech? The one that says "People are smart"? Because, you know, they aren't. So I generally sit there (or stand there, or cook there, or blow dry my hair there, or sit at the cracktop there) saying, People AREN'T smart every time they try to tell me that people are. Because they aren't. Not in general.
- Any Mattress World commercial, because the couple that own the stores are HORRID on TV - flat, dry and yelling. Stop it. I literally made Tom go to Sleep Country USA to buy his mattresses a couple of weeks ago because of it, and let me tell you, the Sleep Country USA commercials are not that much better.
- eHarmony. Shouldn't that be enough of an explanation? That guy that started it, the doctor guy? Lech. He looks like some kind of molestor. Grosses me out, and since I am not an enormous fan of happy people, I rarely manage to get through the whole 30 seconds without some sort of gag reflex situation.
That's all I've got for this morning. I should mention that I really like the caveman commercials from Geico (and I really don't mind the gecko either), and the Dairy Queen commercial where the guy is eating the pepper cheese sandwich and lights his office on fire.
Have a nice day.

That Lots on the Lot commercial just makes me think about how bad it would hurt to get hit with multiple keys falling from the heavens and how they'd just chip all the paint on the cars that they have lots of on the lot.
And eHarmony... isn't that guy in a cult or something?
Okay, Joycie, you have told me numerous times how you hate the juvaderm commmercials. How could you forget those?
In reality, they sure don't make 'em like they used to.
Remember: "Where's the Beef?", Tom Peterson's "Wake up, Wake Up!!"?
I'm sick of beer commercials that show bikinied women holding a beer. What about the vast majority of women beer drinkers? Who of them want to look at a woman?
What about a hot man? Maybe there aren't any left.
When that eharmony dude shows up, I immeidataely mute the TV; when Victoria Secret comes up, I change channels. I, too, love the Geico Cavemen. Other than that, I can't think of any good or bad commercials. Not like I used to; remember when people actually commented on the great ones?

Hi Joyce!
Since I can’t respond to your blog from work, I decided to email you!
You know, I really get hypnotized by the Target commercials! I like the music and the visuals are great.
I agree w/ you- stupid eharmony!! How desperate are these people?!!
I like the Geico commercials too…..i think it’s the accent!
Any mattress commercial-SNOOZE. I wish that one would stop trying to go retro w/ the chick as a stop-motion puppet a la the sixties classic of Rudolph. Not interested!
What’s up w/ soft porn commercial for KY lotion?! Hello! This isn’t HBO or Showtime people!
I’m tired of fast food commercials-CLICK.
In general, I don’t care for commericials…… Why can’t we get commercials like the one I’m sending to you? H-O-L-A!!
