MOST SUBTLE SUBLIMINAL ADVERTISING MESSAGE OF THE WEEK SO FAR

The All-Bran Construction Worker

(Thanks to Peter Metrinko, who got it from the chat of Mr. Gene Weingarten, whose favorite thing in the world is a good poop joke)

First to be speechless. Because I'm too busy laughing.

[wickedwitch]

and i thought that i was the only one that saw that commercial and laughed. i thought possibly that i was having some kind of flashback. can't you just see a big, burly, nuckle-dragger worried about his fiber intake. he11, that's what beer is for.

[JayBee]

Oh my...that is just classic.

How old is this ad?

[a different dave]

Just love the dump truck spilling a load in the background; made me snork up my all-bran.

[wickedwitch`]

throws the gratuitous 'k' up there for knuckle.

[fivver]

Shucks, regularity is no problem here. Just like clockwork on the first and fifteenth of every month.

[crossgirl]

jaybee, i just saw it on the tv the other day. snork worthy for sure.

[PeterM]

Yes, it is a current ad

[fivver]

There's a great new Clearasil commercial I've been seeing on G4 (okay, I'm a closet Ninja Warrior addict). Guy is sitting on a couch between his hottie girlfirend and her mother. Mother is doing the humiliate the daughter routine by showing him her baby pictures. "Here's her first tooth, here she's naked in the bathtub." At which point the girl purrs, "You should see me now." The looks all around are priceless!

[Bethie]

That is too freaking hilarious! Finally, a commercial worth the sixty seconds to watch!

[Siouxie]

Great find, Peter!
I have yet to see it but it's hysterical!

Many years ago when I was attempting to raise small children, and I was familiar with all the latest psychological theories, like the "anal retentive stage" and the "anal expressive stage", and the attendant "control" issues, I used to fall off the couch watching the kids' commercial for a toy truck, which showed a happy little boy zooming his mighty truck around while an excessively deep basso male sang, "The great big trucks are rrroooolllling/The great big trucks are rrrrollling/And you are the one controllling/The Big New Johnny Express."

Apparently the kid grew up to be a construction worker.

[fivver]

Wasn't it Dr. Denton pj's that had the flap in the back so you could play dump truck?

[DeskDiva]

OMG, fivver - I saw that Clearasil ad, too. Cracked me up! I also love Ninja Warrior. :) You rock!!

life is now officially complete.

[ScottMGS]

Marc's link. Dang, though, I was hoping for a director's cut of the clearasil ad.

[Cheryl Howard]

snork @ the Clearasil ad.

[Susan]

I just walked by a tv that was on, here at work.

It was the All Bran commercial. I had never seen it before Dave's link today...to actually see it on tv today just cracked me up.

[WriterDude]

Belated *snork* @ Grammaw Marina's "Barryatrics" -- I think we have a winner!

(And it goes without saying that "Marina and The Barryatrics" WBAGNFARB.)

[marina_like_a_boatdock]

Writerdude, why didn't I think of that! After all I really am a rockin' n rollin' barryatric -
