COMMERCIALS

I was looking at comments people posted stating which commercials they liked/hated and why in response to an article titled I Hate That Commercial You Love. Multiple comments made about the Quizno’s oven commercial confirmed that I really am not crazy and I do not have a filthy mind (some may beg to differ on either point). Many people commented on the sexual innuendo in the commercials. I hated the one when the oven tells the submaker, Scott, to “put it in him”. I cringed every time I heard that! I found it creepy and disturbing, and wondered if it was meant to have a sexual undertone. If Quizno’s goal was to impart to us that their subs are soooo delicious that we need to get one right now, why didn’t they have the oven say something like, “Load me up, Scotty” (heh heh, like Star Trek!), “Fire me up” “ I just melt for them..” you get the idea…or another phrase devoid of sexual innuendo? If they really wanted to get sexual, they should have had some sexy female co-worker with “Scott” to say that instead of the oven in my opinion.
Many people said they were creeped out by the Geico stack of money with eyes. Personally, I think it's funny, especially since Rockwell's Somebody's Watching Me plays when people spot it. The money and the song is just so corny that I have to laugh.
The commercial I hate with a passion right now is the one for Wendy's twisted frosties. I want to punch that guy at the end right in the teeth when he says "FROSSSTY!" like he's some kind of hottie. YUCK!
