| #1 Posted on 9.7.02 0916.13 Reposted on: 9.7.09 0926.38 | Okay, I've watched them a million times and I still don't understand. A young guy and a middle-aged guy in the NEW~! TNN marketing department, sitting around bullshitting. WTF? I know this may be some new high-brow form of comedy that I haven't been exposed to, but more than likely, these are just stupid.
The ones I understand: 1. The kid has a boner when he picks up the Pamela Anderson poster. I get it. 2. The "would you have sex with a Klingon chick" commercial. Got it.
The ones I find frustrating: 1. The kid's cell phone keeps ringing while they are talking. What is funny about this? 2. They are having a conference and some guy keeps coughing really loudly. What does this mean?
I guess I just demand too much from my commercials. I tend to hate things that don't make sense (at least comedic sense). Promote this thread! | | Scott Summets

Maybe they should just dump it all and bring back fishing and country music 24/7. | Oliver

I called to complain about the nepotism in the first ad, but that's because I have a lot of free time.
No really, I did. I feel dirty. | TheBucsFan

| #8 Posted on 9.7.02 1947.00 Reposted on: 9.7.09 1959.08 | ...forever ago, when they showed the Godfather series, I called in to complain about the raver commercials. Just... bleh.
I also complained about the damn black bar with the show's title at the bottom of every show, as if we're watching some sort of perverted backwoods widescreen presentation in letterbox format... something we're thankfully spared of on Raw, but DAMNIT, don't FUCK with Three's Company. | Fuzzy Logic

| #9 Posted on 9.7.02 2321.16 Reposted on: 9.7.09 2322.18 | wait... They show Three's Company? I honestly don't know how they'd fit that in with 8 hours of MadTV, 4 hours of ST:TNG, and I don't know how many hours of Baywatch daily... damn! | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
