It's amazing how tiring some of the often repeated commercials can get.

The mute button on my remote gets used often, so I never really know what the commercials are about.

KFC gives me da shyts for 3 days...but I really dig that chick on the commercial! That look and attitude does something for me. I love a cutie that can talk slang and quasi hood and look like she walked out of a sorority...

In January, new regulations took effect to lower the volume of commercials. They used to be able to set the volume equal to the loudest part you're show's sound track. It annoyed me to no end and I couldn't hit the mute button fast enough. Strangely, now that commercials are the same volume as the show I'm watching, I find myself a little slower to the button.

I have not had the pleasure (?) of seeing this commercial, but I have a feeling that given the proprietor, the only thing going BOOM with that bucket would be my.

took 23 seconds of Google time to pull up that stuff.

Folks on the tube want to paid attention to...to a point, when things get close they (and anyone) tend to freak. I'm harmless, what you read/see is basically all there is. Beware the guy in the back, the lerker...they get a serious freak on.

This site has those and I fully expect that something whack shall happen...its just like that.

Pretty certain this answer is yes for 90% of commercials. Especially car lots.

Demographics be damned, the ad company wants you to remember the product. I wouldn't be surprised if the twenty-something, faux gangsta, hand sign throwing, white bread suburbies that appear to be the target audience also think it's a POS ad. Never-the-less, we all can instantly recall the product, and that's why the ad company gets paid.
