THESE TWO COMMERCIALS JUST NEED TO GO AWAY

I thought once the Super Bowl was over, that this creepy commercial of a puppy mixed with a human baby and a monkey would go away, but it's been back all through July with a vengeance.  Some people think it's catchy, but this ad just reminds me to pass by Mountain Dew on the soda aisle of the grocery store.

The other commercial that has me scratching my head is from Pepto Bismol.  Rubbing your butt and singing to let us know you have bathroom problems is just weird. (lol)

    There are indeed some commercials that leave you confused as ever. Some have little or nothing to do with the product being advertised.

      It sort of amazes me that people pay big bucks for these ads. (lol)

    Yeah the Pepto Bismol commercial is hilarious and does NOT make me want to buy it, but the first one I don't know. Thanks RO

      The first time I saw the Pepto commercial I actually had to rewind to make sure I didn't need to clean my glasses, Debbie. (lol) But I did laugh.

    Hi RO :) Gosh...we gave up television a long time ago and I have to say I do NOT miss the commercials!!! I remember when the DVR was available, it was like heaven to record my favourite shows and skip all the commercials easily! Now we just download what we want to see or watch online.

      The DVR does make it easy to skip right through. However, there have been times that I've seen some good ones. (lol) Hugs...

    Some commercials just make NO sense to me. The first one here is really creepy, I agree! Thankfully I haven't seen it in forever. As for the Pepto Bismol one, it's not THAT bad but still a little weird. haha

      I had to rewind twice the first time I saw the Pepto ad because I couldn't believe what I was seeing, but I do have to admit that it made me laugh. (lol) Still not my fave though. Hope you're feeling well.

    Hahaha I am familiar with the Puppymonkeybaby one because they actually started showing it as "commercials" online but I'm not familiar with the Pepto one. I'm actually really glad I don't have cable because commercials drive me nuts. LoL

    We don't get either of them. But don't feel jealous - we have some shockers of our own. I am sure I am not alone in saying I can't remember any ad which made me buy a product but can easily think of a few which made me decide to NEVER buy from the company again.

    I'm lucky, I guess, because I haven't seen these since the Super Bowl! I also don't watch much tv, so that would definitely help. I just want to know where people get these kinds of ideas and who thinks they're worth investing in? Why is a commercial that makes you uncomfortable a good one?

    This is the website I read about Prophet Abulele and contacted him to help me get my ex boyfriend back to marry me during the month of june this year and I have come back here to post about him. Prophet Abulele will help you solve your problem no matter what you are going through. My name is PATRICIA from Canada. Posting about a spell caster is very strange to me because I never believed i will be able to say that I was helped by a spell caster in bringing my ex boyfriend back to me after 5 years of no contact. I read about Prophet Abulele from other websites and contacted him to help me and in less than 48 hours my ex boyfriend called me and I was happy that he wants to get back to me. We met on Friday and he proposed to me,... It was the most beautiful ring. Please everyone out here, Contact Prophet Abulele to solve your problem for you and make you happy with your relationship that is hurting you. Love is the best feeling ever experienced. Email Prophet Abulele at prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com or directly on whats App him +2349022406159.

    I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
