ENOUGH with the Old Navy commercials already!
 
I used to think the Verizon “Can you hear me now” commercials were akin to dental surgery without drugs. But then they toned down whatshisname’s broken record and hired the ferret.

As wonderful as the “Green Acres” theme might have been, I can’t remember anything this side of the “Enterprise” theme that makes me involuntarily and rapidly reach for the mute button on my remote EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Please, God, make it stop!!!

Thank you for your most valuable time.

That broad is older than I am! -eek-

I don’t care if it’s Brittany, nekkid, with her latest set of boobs showin’. That commercial is E-vil! Nobody should be subjected to that music 10 times a night.

E-vil, I tell you. E-freaking-vil!!

Makes AT&T Broadband look like a candidate for sainthood...

The lady with the big glasses didn't get fired; she died. That was Carrie Donovan, an ex-editor at Vogue Magazine, trying to convince us that those horrid clothes were "chic". Perhaps her death was some cosmic payback for those ads.

I don't watch enough TV to get really annoyed by any commercials, but I dug the Megan Mullally spots from last year. I had no clue who she was, and she gave me the hot!

(I think those were Old Navy - but maybe I'm wrong)

Bandoman 10-24-02 12:02 PM

Did someone mention Britney's boobs? I'd watch that commercial.

But the Old Navy Green Acres commercial has made me anti-Old Navy. I won't shop there until that ad is removed from the airwaves.

adamblast 10-24-02 01:21 PM

On general principle, I refuse to buy clothing from any store with hay in their commercials.

Wizdar 10-24-02 01:33 PM

Or flying pitchforks.

OUCH!

:lol:

Geofferson 10-24-02 01:53 PM

I agree...I'd love to see these damn things on tv.

SuperJim88 10-24-02 05:08 PM

I always thought that Saturday Night Live should take advantage of that Verizon ad, "Can you hear me now?"

The sketch should show that one day this dude was with his friend and the friend ask him who is he talking to? And the friend grab the phone and said, "This cellphone is not even real, who've you been talking to the whole time?" And the verizon guy go crazy and just shout "verizon is the devil and they are going to eat me alive!!"

I still have an Old Navy jingle stuck in my head from like a couple years ago...

OLD NAVY OLD NAVY Old Navy performance fleece!

homeslice 10-24-02 07:24 PM

What happened to that hot blonde with more hot girls all around her? She was a spectacular Old Navy representative!

Lol, read this:

I hate that commercial but you have to admit Morgan Fairchild has held up remarkably well.

JamesBrian 10-25-02 12:19 AM

Morgan Fairchild is "hard-pressed'? I haven't heard that expression used since I had to translate the writings of Julius Caesar in Latin class about 35 years ago.
But she does look fine in that red dress.

I thought when Miss Donovan joined the Choir Invisible ("Magic" was apparently entombed with her), that we'd seen the last irritating commercial from them. Alas, 'twas not to be. It's an automatic scramble for the blessed "mute" button every time now.

Morgan Fairchild was hot twenty years ago. She's hot now. She'll be hot in twenty years.

tanman 10-25-02 02:10 AM

Question:
can they really be making enough money on those stupid pants and vests etc. to make up for their air time?

i mean i buy a few things at old navy but i have never bought anything they have advertised.

In twenty years she'll be over 70.

Hot or not, without the mute button I'd prolly be in jail by now.

What I hate about this commercial is all the stupid poses the guy makes - sticking his crotch out, riding the tractor like he's humping it. It makes me want to smack him. ;-)

cheapskate 10-25-02 02:50 PM

I like them...so what? hehe :)

Morgan Fairchild will always be hot *

*I reserve the right to change my mind on this 20 years from now

Is Jon Lovitz married to Morgan Fairchild? I was unaware of that.


OR is somebody talking about having seen Jon Lovitz naked?

costanza187 10-26-02 06:47 AM

and RE the Verizon guy...I would love to just punch him in his head for being so stupid.


...kind of like in Bob Barker from Happy Gilmore tone, "Can you hear this B!tch!?"
