    PS that actor for Allstate,i think he so good looking.
    That is Dean Winters. He is wonderful. He played the brother of the main character on FX's show "Rescue Me" and he was awesome. I love him in the Allstate ads. But now I don't have TV I don't get advertisements any more. After reading some of these posts, I am kinda thankful for that! :lol:

    Well, how about the one for Latisse. This is a product that is supposed to grow eyelashes.

    The commercial says "Latisse is for people with inadequate eyelashes, or not enough eyelashes."

    Duh...I think we know what inadequate means!

    There's a commercial for the upcoming new show Project Accessory where one of the designers very blatantly holds up his middle finger. If that's what the show is like I won't be watching it!

    Have you noticed that you can't remember what the commercial was selling? The commercial is so good sometimes, you actually love it but what are they selling. How about the men's e....... problem and they are in a balloon and then in separate bathtubs. Have we come down to bathtubs= sex?

    I also hate the AT&T commercial. The first reason being - as another poster said - the wife is a shrew. The second reason being - nothing is 'Free' - yet the commercial wants you to believe the texting is free, along with the other service he signed up for because she doesn't rag him about it.

    I'm really sick of the viagra and all commercials of that ilk. The guys in the commercials don't look to me like they should have too much trouble in that department. Usually they appear to be maybe, early forties, and their wives are smokin' hot. Be realistic. Put an older, over weight, out of shape guy, and his equally aged, has lived in her body, popped out a couple puppies, wife on there.

    I'm not saying younger men couldn't have a problem, all I'm saying is be honest about the target audience and quit making perfectly healthy men, both younger and older, think something is wrong because they don't feel like chasing their wife around the house 5 days a week any more.

    ROFL

    I LOVE those bathtubs in the middle of nowhere with two happy people sitting in what must be frigid water (as there are no taps attached to said bathtubs). Nothing says foreplay like freezing your a@$ off parked on a hillside in a tub of cold water!
