I love watching As Seen On TV ads because every now and again they have an interesting product. Well interesting is not the word I would use for the Squatty Potty, in fact I am so speechless I can’t even think of the word to describe it.
But I have to admit that it has piqued my interest. So the next time I have to go, I will use a step stool and see if it helps.
And on a positive note about the ad, at least they didn’t use people. Could you imagine, having some older guy in a khaki pants and an argyle sweater running to the bathroom, sitting on the toilet as he strains to go. Then they show him doing it again with the Squatty Potty, and smiling as he goes. Oh wait I want that ad, someone make it happen ASAP! And that is why my advertising teachers were happy when I told them I was not going into advertising.
When I saw the commercial for Bambooee, I was waiting for someone to yell out “Baba Booey!” That’s because it is so ridiculous, I thought it was fake. But somehow it is real even though they have the worst Sumo Wrestler impersonator I’ve ever seen. And I saw Morning Glory with Diane Keaton wearing a blow up Sumo Wrestler costume.
Now when it comes to the amazing towels, even though the ad is a mess I still want them to clean my messes!

For almost 20 years the Kool-Aid Man has been enjoying the life of retirement, but now he is back. Sadly while he has been relaxing instead of working, it has made calmer and less interesting. Someone needs to put some sugar in his jug because he needs some of that spunk back! Oh yeah!
I don’t know about you, but I am addicted to As Seen on TV items. Well the latest product I found online is Quit It and basically it is a spray can that makes a hissing noise to stop your pet from doing bad. When I watched this commercial I was like no way is that going to work on pet. If I tried that on my cat, she wouldn’t run away from it. My cat would run towards the can and swat it out my hand. Seriously you think any pet is going to listen to that? Please they are smarter than that.
via Daily Mail Valege in France came up with a way of selling their product on the boob tube, by using boobs! The French Lingerie company has a series of commercials where the left breast is trying to find the right one and bringing them together in a way that only a push up bra can. As perfect as this ad is the only thing they are missing is the actual bra, but I don’t think there will be many complaints about that from men. Do you?
BTW it is ads like this that make me regret not going into advertising, and a lot of teachers very happy that I didn’t.
