One that I think is ok in principle but poorly executed is one for Mattel's Cruncher interactive pet Dinosaur.

Basic premise is it is like a show and tell and kid is showing off his pet Cruncher. When it does its little "attack the class runs screaming. It is a typical toy commercial scenario over acting on the ferocity of toy creature.

The problem? The class all appear to be 11-12 years old! Since when do 5th or 6th graders have Show and Tell or would one happily talk about his new toy pet dino? If it was a group of 5-6 year olds I can see it. But by going with older kids they are trying to show it is for older kids too.

That add is insane.

The acting and stuff is ok for kid actors and the premise is fine, just the kids are WAY to old for show and tell.

What about that commercial where the woman cleans the table with wax?

I saw that the other day, and I darn near puked!

I have not seen that one but it sounds stupid.  To tell the truth i don't see a lot of adds these days because i watch pretty much everything on my DVR and skip the adds.

Actually, I was referencing this, but I got the wording wrong.

Wow, even Matthew Henson thinks that is an obscure reference.

So there's this new commercial for Hot Pockets that struck me as completely disgusting. Now, I don't even really consider this shit food, but these things look like they got shot in the face. It's like Saw with snacks!

How is it that a group of people actually sat down in a room, watched this, and found it even remotely appetizing?!?

What I want to know about that commercial was who thought it was a good idea to include the lines, "We all taste great!" "Some... More than others."

Hot Pockets Sideshots: At least the Sloppy Joe is pretty good!

[Bob]

To me it looks like the hot pockets are vomiting their food.

And they are kolaches, not "side shots"...... I guess the other name is too ethnic for them.

Yeah, how messed up is that?!? ""We all taste great! Except the ones who taste like shredded ass. Feelin' lucky? Go ahead, grab a box!"

Two burgers, one box?

 

It's like the frozen food equivalent of Saving Private Ryan. That one dude got cut in half by machine gun fire and his intestines are about to spill out.

I can only assume that's Czech for 'rotten possum cooked over a tire fire'.
