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.

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!!

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)

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.

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!!"

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

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.

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.

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. ;-)

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!?"
