A while back there was a thread in this section about company mascots that scared people. I would like to submit the walls that talk in the Terminix commercials as positively creepy.

You know, I grew to like Burger King over the last few months. It's so bad it actually is kinda funny. But I hate "So bad it's funny" awkward humor.

I really hate the ads for Yo-Gos... it's the most headache inducing torture I've ever seen. I mean, they'd show that to get confessions out of prisoners if it wasn't so horrible, they wouldn't even use it at Guantanamo.

I don't know if I know of those Terminix walls you speak of, and now I am positively intrigued by this Yogo and it's add!

It doesn't scare me now; infact I like it for the exact reason that it would have freaked me out as a kid! It's the commercial for the car, I think it's a Subaroo, with all the forest animals calling out the guy's name. Creepy and cool!

The Terminix Walls commercials basically involve a woman at home who is performing some normal household activity when suddenly one of the walls start talking to her about the bugs that are sharing her residential space. A somewhat human looking face morphs out of the wall and starts informing about the fact that she has bugs living with her that she didn't know about. In one she's doing some gardening and the outside wall tells her about the termites that are near her begonias. In another one she's getting her breakfast and the cupboard wall tells her about the roaches that are eyeing her cereal, and in a third she's haing a midnight snack and the wall behind her tells her about the ants that are living under her carpet. The woman always leaves the room saying she's calling Terminix at which point the wall calls after her some comment about the duty that she has left unattended to make the phone call.

I wonder about the Chocolate and peanut butter Corn Pops cereal? It their way of going head against General Mill's Recess puffs cereal.

But that does sound creepy!:eek:
