Funny commercials

I'm sitting here watching the Y&R-athon on SoapNet and one my favorite commercials just ran.

It's the one for Uno Attack.

It has a song in it.

Now mind you the woman singing it sounds like she has marbles in her mouth.

But the song goes ..."Uno Attack...you might get ten...Uno Attack...You might get eight."

But because the woman sounds like she is gargling glass,

it sounds like "Uno Attack...You might get ten OR you might get AIDS." :blink:

Now that's a rough game. I don't want to play that game.

That's some highstakes there. Oh you got 6 cards? Damn...all I got was AIDS.

I'll pass on that game. I'll stick to monopoly.

The worst that can happen is losing some purple money.

I swear. Everytime I hear it it cracks me up.

Getting or having AIDS is not funny!...but getting AIDS from Uno is hysterical!

You have to catch it.

The commercial...Not the AIDS :)

I also love the one with the loving/angry mother-daughter duo about getting a phone.

AMC's Arlene plays the mom.

I also like the identity theft commercials with the black man/valley girl and the granny/red necks.

Anyone have any they like?

Mostly I channel flip right thru them.

Or pee thru them.

I have one, at least I think it is a funny one.

It's a commercial for Soft Scrub kitchen cleanser....

The announcer talks about how Soft Scrub kills bacteria on kitchen counters, and he says:

"When you use Soft Scrub, this is how your kitchen counters feel" then they show a zoo keeper with a

chinchuila rubbing its fur against this guy's face.

Then the announcer says: "This is how your counters feel when you don't use Soft Scrub." Then they show a baboon getting up on a chair, and slap the guy in the face, knocking his glasses off his face.

When I first saw it, I burst out laughing so hard, that my baby cousin looked at me and then started laughing too.

Right now, my fav commercial is for Cingular, I think. It's about drop calls and how they can ruin a conversation.

Boyfriend: Baby I'm just glad that I'm the only man in your world.

*Call drops*

The girlfriend is saying something, but you can't hear her.

Boyfriend: Baby?... baby?.

*silence*

Boyfriend: Is it Earl?

*silence*

Boyfriend: Cat got your tongue? Earl got your tongue?

:lol:

    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.

          Betsy Snyder, when she was at DAYS was part of the WGA winning writing team before she died, tragically far too young.  
    • Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?    
    • But then he HATES the original Heather Webber (Cher's half sister played her, right?) and we know what happened when Robin would step into the role a year after this.  He does seem pretty spot on about actors who show promise otherwise.  It's interesting he knocks OLTL early on (though I loved all the recently released episodes from this era we got) but does give a lot of credit to the actress playing Cathy despite earlier complaining about her story.  And over all, while quite negative, his various pros and cons on the shows sounds about right with what I know of the shows at this time. This was a July dated issue of the magazine but and I know they date mags a month or two in advance--obviously when he wrote this he didn't know Lovers and Friends was gonna go off the air (in May I think).
    • You know one of the soap outlets posed that question just last week: Who do you want Trina with Spencer or Kai? And, of course, the picture of Spencer was NAC. I said, well, a lot. I chose Kai. I said that Spencer had been an entitled brat & that some people valued him over her, when I valued her above all others. I guess we'll see.
    • You're right. The only thing I can think of is if GH finally decides to bring back Spencer.
    • Sharon Rose Gabet told me on Facebook that she calls this "Baby Raven".
    • I imagine the storyline would now segue into Laura's accident. But I hope they manage to keep Leslie around though. I really don't want her to be written out, or get the DOOL treatment where she just pops up every so often to cause some short term trouble; the character and the actor were such a find.
