The Ridiculousness of Commercials

I was going to post today and write about a  subject filled with controversy to make you all think and some of you would probably get heated. You know how I love to stir the pot and shake things up. However, I'm watching The Bachelor right now and these commercials are hilarious and stupid.

The one that prompted this post was the Oscar Meyer Turkey commercial. A family is sitting and eating sandwiches. Someone says, "It's just like Thanksgiving" and the mom says, "Just like Thanksgiving but not." Then they proceed to go through a series of flashbacks. One flashback the husband makes the wife drop the turkey on the floor. The husband cries out, "5 second rule!" He quickly picks up the turkey, tosses it towards the table and it slides right on the floor. I was dying when I saw that. It was so darn funny.

Some commercials are just to darn funny for words. Tell me what are your favorite commercials? Do you even pay attention to the commercials? Do you think that advertisers have to be more creative now that we are in the day of DVRs? If you were going to create a commercial what product would it be for and what would the commercial look like?

Talk to me! I would love to hear your thoughts.
