Annoying TV ads part 15

[1STMP]

I was just thinking about the differences in ad content from when I was growing up to the ads of today.
In the 70s, we had ads featuring Morris the cat, Mr Whipple advising people Don't squeeze the Charmin, Ads for Bayer aspirin, Bufferin, All-Tempa-Cheer, Tide, McDonalds and Burger King, Beer ads but......NO ads for prescription drugs.
Do any of you remember ads for that crap?

Nope, but you left out a few....
Teryton- I'd rather fight than switch
Alka-Seltzer-Plop, Plop, Fizz, Fizz
Cal Worthington (no explaination
necessary)
Earl Shibe-I'll paint any car for $49.95
Smokey The Bear-Only you can
prevent forest fires.
Walt Disney
Also commercials for Slinky,
Silly Putty, and Hot Wheels, and let's
not forget the Schwinn Stingwray at
the top of every kids wish list.
Though, as a kid, I don't remember
any of these being particually
annoying, I'm sure they grated on
my parents' nerves.
It just goes to show how far we've
strayed from family values.
Just compare cartoons from then
'till now. I've not watched a single
episode of Sponge Bob....

The never ending stream of prescription drug ads using great songs bastardized with crappy lyrics about the product being promoted.

So, there are two commercials on T.V. from Comcast that blow me away with their creativeness! Mind you, I HATE
Comcast, but these commercials are great! Frankenstein in the Castle asking "Anything about the Bangs? and the
Rabbit commercial with the 1950's band with Louis Jordan, And the green grass grows all around. Comcast is
fighting for their life right now so spending alot of money on commercials seems like a good idea.

If I never hear the legal loophole for viagra it will be too soon. Also the newgenics with Frank Thomas and Doug Flute. They ruined Motor trend tv

Firing Frieburger and Dulcich is what ruined motor trend TV. I've got 60 or so Engine master shows on dvr, NOTHING since the firing. I think I might have spent a half hour on MTTV once, about two weeks ago.
