Real Commercials that make me REALLY uncomfortable

August 5th 2009 08:03
Sometimes, advertisers just cross a line....a fine line between good taste and utterly disturbing. It really makes you wonder how these commercials ever made it past the planning stage. For that matter, how did these products ever come into being?

Demo for the Facial Flex....2 billion kinds of wrong are going on with this contraption.


They must be seen to be believed, and they're all real. Dear god. Watch them all.

Yeah, maybe I'm just a perv, but this contraption seems really obscene! Remember, "Dynamic Inertia" is what the kids are calling this action now. Hmmmmm. And men everywhere are saying, "See honey! I told you it was a good work out!"



Hey....no one likes to be stinky, right? Especially in those "Special Places". Thankfully, now we have Aspray. And as this disgusting commercial wants us to know, you can use it anywhere, even on your butt. Seriously, take it from Lanny F., the Private Contractor in the commercial. He needs some Aspray ASAP! Yuck.




This one is only disturbing if you really think about it. It was on TV the other day, and it just confused me.... So let me get this straight. Cottonelle makes you feel like you're wiping your ass with a cute little puppy? Wait, no...If you let your puppy wipe its ass with Cottonelle, it will steal your house and chill in your hot tub??? I don't get it.



WRONG!!!



This is an old school PSA that will surely give me nightmares. The Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water will lure children to an early grave.




If this product doesn't make you look positively radiant, you can just keep the mask and become a psycho killer!




Just so you know, next time you enjoy a Slushee or an Icee, you may actually be feasting upon the innards of an insane clown.




So let me get this straight...some guy told you that this activity would make you look younger, and you believed him? Did he try to sell you on "Dynamic Inertia" as well? And doesn't the hostess of this little infomercial seem like she might have been slipped a Roofie right before going on air?




And of course, this last product was invented by a man. Because, until now, I never knew that I would sleep better if I had something shoved between my boobs!

Oh my god, where do you find this stuff? It made me laugh my arse off. I can't decide which is the funniest but the very obviously stoned lady with the mouth exerciser had me in stitches.

As for the Kush, you could invent one to support your butt cheeks and call it Tush...a restful treat for your seat.

Bad I know... I'll just slink off now

I don't even want to think about what lengths you go to in order to amuse, entertain and educate.

Is that mask for real - that's gotta be a gee-up.

As for the Kush - c'mon . . . now I really do believe you can make a million out of just about any absurd marketing mumbo jumbo. What a classic!

Cheryl, the funny part is...oh gosh should I say it? Hell why not...I think the Kush already resembles something designed to be placed in the tush...there, I said it. And I feel better! The facial expressions on that mouth exercise lady are a hoot, aren't they? I couldn't decide if I wanted to laugh or cry!

MNG, I'm your dancing monkey. Throw me a dime, and I'll entertain my little heart out! And the Rejuvenique mask is real. That's an actual video from QVC home shopping club. I'm serious. Talk about nightmares!

Morgan, that Quiznos commercial wins for most uncomfortable, doesn't it? "Say it sexier, Scott. Sexier." I think Scott has a bonafide sexual harassment case against that toaster!

Ruby, I know. It seems like it would be, but here's a link to buy it from the QVC website, and here's the gal actually on QVC selling it. Strange things in this world!!!

Facial Flex

Btw peeps. Here's another disturbing one that I'm going to file under "Products that people are going to try to use inappropriately". It's Dr. Ho's (hehehe) Massager, and the chick in the video even proclaims..."Who needs men??"

55 bucks?!?!?!?!?!? I guess if you're and A or B cup you don't need it? Here I thought I'd found all the answers on the Internet!

Natalina, I found the Rejuvenique Electric Facial Mask is very ridiculous! Honestly, I won't spend my money buying most of the things that you've mentioned on above, as I think it's totally useless!

PS: Don't take it offensively, Natalina. I only spoke out my feeling about the products...

James... I guess the gals with the smaller boobies are good to go, and have no need for that expensive contraption I never knew I needed. And it is rather pricey, isn't it? I wonder if a can of beer or a rolled up newspaper would do the trick?

Wilson, you're right that mask is ridiculous? The things people will spend their money on....

And believe me, I don't take it offensively. I don't plan to buy any of these products either!

The crazy thing is I actually work with a woman who could use the breast rest thingy. She used to tan a lot so her décolletage is a bit... leathery, and for the first half of the day, she has wrinkles almost up to her chin from sleeping on her side! Who knew someone thought of that and made a product to help her out.
