I can remember good old commercials, but very few of the bad old ones. My standard for bad commercials tend to be the ones that pretend to give you accurate information leading to the conclusion that the advertised product is more stupendous than Brand X.

Oh, that and four out of five dentists surveyed thing ... those have always annoyed me, even before they started the series of ads making fun of the fifth dentist.

I didn't realize bri had referred to that commercial when I watched it this morning in the other thread you put it in. I never saw it on tv either. but Mind Sticker...makes me think of someone sticking a round red sticker with a goofy face on it.... right on someone's glistening wet cerebellum. (the front of their skull is just not there when this occurs.... you can see a cross section of the skull and scalp and hair)

and yeah.... why did women put up with shit like that? didn't the men that made those commercials have wives? was Anchorman accurate? what the hell?

Wow, honestly I didn't know she had referred to it either, until I saw your post jim! I was just looking for an aisle without garbanzo beans. Funny she remembered it...I came across it while looking at the 'retro thing' website when I posted the Merlin link.

I can almost see the ad agency pitching this idea on Mad Men!
