I haven't heard Total Transformation in awhile but those used to drive me insane. The worst though are the commercials from Progressive where Flo sings. Seriously, what the hell do strikes in baseball and bowling have to do with insurance?! The Johnsonville commercials are pretty annoying too, but the commercial with the Mr. Banana Lamp is actually kinda funny.  |

Flo hit a new low with her queen "imitation" - it's even more horrendous than the gangster one, if that's even possible.
It almost - almost - makes me miss "who are you calling sir?" and "I can eat a lot of hot dogs in a mile, Bob".

Flo doesn't bother me like the kid (is it "Jeremy?") who can't be nice to his parents.
I do kind of want Stephanie Courtney to do an album that is written & produced by Jim Steinman.
Charlene's spoken word bridge for "I've Never Been To Me" doesn't bother me either. I think 'cause where I lived in Spring 1982, many of the stations played the instrumental bridge without spoken word version.

What killed me about those Total Transformation ads was that they ran for years, and yet still had that "limited number" of free kits remaining. Apparently nobody liked that crazy woman. After a while I started chanting "Je-re-my! Je-re-my!" every time they came on. But while I fully understand everyone's disgust with TT, Flo from Progressive, et al. ... the ads I TRULY hated were the old Netflix "game show" spots. For some reason I found them not just insipid, but offensive. I had to turn the volume off or I was going to smash my computer. I'm convinced those ads are running 24/7 in Hell. |

Last week I said: 'It almost - almost - makes me miss "who are you calling sir?" and "I can eat a lot of hot dogs in a mile, Bob'".
Sure enough, we heard BOTH of them on the '70s broadcast this week.
Sorry for the jinx!!!!!

When I used to hear that TT ad with Jeremy' mother, I used to yell out, "Well, lady, what did you DO to him to make him hate you?!", thus to suggest that maybe she was at least partly to blame for his behavior. (Hey, nothing happens in a vacuum.) Also, have you noticed that those new Flo commercials, one with her impersonating royalty and the other impersonating a gangster, see, didn't last long. Wow, those must have been beyond the pale even to the powers-that-be at Premiere. |

I always found it ironic to have meat products pitched during AT40 given Casey's longtime veganism. It was more so when Casey was alive and might have been listening (remember those loud "Chop Swap!" ads from the National Pork Board?) |

It's marketing to say "limited number" but it's not a liE necessarily. It's designed to make you think there's just a few left. However, reality is if I mass produce 1 million free kits of something, I've given away 2, then make a commercial; I still have a limited number available because I have a certain quantity left. In addition, if they are given away at a high enough rate that people buy more, I produce even more free kits to a certain number. It's STILL limited because there's a finite number. I'm sure they give away plenty of free kits. Don't know a single parent, me included who's ever gotten one or bought the whole thing, but I'm also not the type to take my family on Dr Phil for help either but plenty I guess do. |

I personally don't like the 'women only' products ads. Men AND women listen to the shows!

Every time I hear the "Why am I so fat?" Amberin ad, I reply "Maybe because you keep stuffing food down your pie hole"?  Just keep hoping that someday Flo will be just a bad memory... |
