Is anyone else creeped out by these Charles Schwab commercials?\u00c2\u00a0 Disturbing<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 The animation just gives me the willies every time I see one – so much so that I had to blog about it.

On the other hand, there are a handful of commercials out right now that always make me chuckle.\u00c2\u00a0 They’re stupid, but I always laugh.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

One is the William Shatner as the Price Line Negotiator<\/em><\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I love his horrible kung fu moves and that he can be such a dork and not take himself seriously.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I also find myself chuckling at the Emerald Nuts <\/em>commercials…\u00c2\u00a0 the Swiss Family Robinson<\/strong> or the “Addicted To Love Girls<\/strong>” that appear at 3pm and mess with the person who’s sleeping because he didn’t eat the nuts to stay awake. Really dumb, but funny.<\/p>\n

And lastly – for some reason I smile every time USA Network plays their promo for the upcoming Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show<\/em><\/a>. It has these dogs, photographed like models, with wind blowing on them (the Afghan hound is beautiful), etc. as “I’m Too Sexy<\/em>” plays, or “She’s Like The Wind<\/em>“….<\/p>\n

Any standout commercials for you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
