T.V. Commercials

I hate most t.v. commercials. They either insult your intelligence, or make you feel somewhat uncomfortable in the presence of children. You know - the ones for male enhancement, and now female enhancement too! Those should be prohibited until after 10 p.m. - IMO anyway.

Of course I love most commercials where animals are involved - especially dogs and cats. Who couldn't smile at most of them???

But there is a new commercial out now which I find delightful - for some reason.

It's for Kleenex tissues, and it's a bunch of school kids doing a kind of line dance - only it's just a hand clapping and high five thing. The music is catchy and bouncy and the kids look like they are having a grand old time. It's makes me just grin, and want to grab someone and break into dance. It's a fun, happy thing, and so different from the run of the mill idiotic commercials that take up so much t.v. time.

Has anyone else seen the one with the kids? What do you think of it? Cool - huh???

It's sad really, because I do not watch commercials anymore. I always plan it out so I start watching something about 20 minutes after it starts so I can fast forward through commercials. Modern technology has allowed me this pleasure (DVR).
My mom always asks if I saw a commercial and I have to remind her I don't watch commercials. But I watch for ones I've heard are good. So I'll have to watch for this one.

I completely adore the Traveler's Insurance commercial with all the animals. When I catch it on the DVR, I'll stop and play the whole commercial every time. I love the music, I love the fantasy of it, and I love the meerkat taking a high dive from the top of the giraffe's head!

I know the one you are talking about and I love it too.. Kind of reminds me of those mob dances and they always cheer me up and make me smile...

AARRGHHH!!! Now this is pathetic.........

I thought I'd do a search and see if I could find a video of this commercial and post a link, but couldn't find one.

I did however, find numerous comments about it - some good and some bad. Some people actually found it disgusting and offensive and wanted to write to Kleenex and protest it - because one of the kids sneezed, and the clapping continued. Wow - he sneezed. DUH - it's a commercial for Kleenex!!!!

I guess they are the type who find it NOT offensive to discuss what to do when an ******** lasts more than 4 hours, in the Viagara, etc commercials.

Some people need to get a life.................
