I'm surprised he doesn't do 10 10 220 commercials by now...
I thought he would do 10-10-9-8-7 calls, since they are for overseas now...?
Anyway, I wanted to ask the panel about the commercials for some of the new movies that are coming out right now. I don't mean just the big summer ones, but movies in general...
Barring X-men 2, in which I haven't seen one of what I am going to complain about with their commercials yet, I have seen commercials for "Daddy Day Care," "Lizzie McGuire" and even "Bruce Almighty" on my various channels on television (all the time, she said in drawn-out, whining voice).
And each and every one of them have SOME kind of "bathroom" joke of some kind....(again, long, drawn-out whiny voice).
"Daddy Day Care": The kid who goes "potty" and misses. Cue the music from "Psycho."
"Lizzie McGuire:" Lizzie is trying to sing, spins around in the bathroom and proceeds to fall into the bathtub, but amazingly misses all the taps and spigot and doesn't get hurt! I swear, this kid falls down more than someone with two broken legs and no crutches...yet never gets hurt...will wonders never cease...?
"Bruce Almighty:" Bruce uses "the power" and teaches the dog to urinate (like a human) and sit on the pot when it feels the "urge." Jennifer Anniston walks in on the dog when it is sitting on the pot reading the newspaper, says, "Oh, excuse me," walks back out and closes the door, then shakes her head like she can't believe what she just saw. Believe me, Jen, neither can I...
Why? Why, why, why, why, WHY??
Why all the "bathroom" references? Why in each and every movie any more (or does it just SEEM like that)?
Has "All in the Family" really paved the way for "toilet humor" to be extended so far?
Did Normal Lear really know what he had on his hands (so to speak) when he first flushed out the comedy of a flushing toliet on air?
Are we to be subjected to "toilet humor" for the rest of our days?
These and other questions to be answered in FUTURE MOVIES!
