    I have to say, I get a kick out of the Jingle Bell boxer shorts commercial. I don't find it offensive or crude. A bit edgy, yes, but also pretty darn hilarious! (Not to mention, pretty easy on the eyes!) I respect that some of you find it offensive, and that's okay! We all have a different way of seeing things. It's okay if some of us like it and others don't. If we were all the same, it would be a boring world!

    But come to think of it, I watched it online, not in a room full of other people. I guess it would bother me to be sitting among certain people and see this appear on my tv screen (like young kids or my pastor!)

    I agree with gale about the toaster strudel commercial - odd and unpleasant.

    This commercial is not near as bad as the ones for Victoria Secret.

    The boxer jingle bells commercial is just awful. Makes me want to boycott underwear.

    most of them I laugh off, but this one gets to me. I hate any commercial with Flo in it. Love the pig!
    I'm not a fan of Flo either, and the thing is, then you turn on the radio and she's there too. It's not like she can sing either. I got news for her, I do look good in cordoroy pants, which she says isn't easy. I'm not allowed to wear jeans of any color to work but I can wear cords. they are comfortable and last long and so much warmer in the winter time.

    I went with Progressive twice, both times the first 6 mos the rates were great then the second 6mos they raised the premiums for not reason, not tickets and no accidents. My son experienced the same thing. So I don't like the company or their commercials. They keep her because that's what people remember; the things that either irritate us the most or the ones we really like.

    Glad someone agrees with me, K-Mart boxers for sure. Upset me enough I went to their web site and wrote them a letter. Absolutely disgusting.

    My DVR is my best investment. Skip thru commercials and even then it seems to take forever. They run so many that it takes awhile to fast forward thru them. What a waste of time to watch the same commercials over and over again.

    If you liked the one with the man chasing the turkey, there's another going on. Believe it's the same man running down a hill with a cut Christmas tree and a bear chasing him. Think he's yelling "I got the tree - OPEN THE DOOR".

    It's obvious I need to do more quilting and less t.v. watching.
    oh my goodness, i had a big chuckle just reading your description of the man being chased by the bear. I have not seen it.. i laugh at the one when he is chasing a turkey.....good to laugh

    No wonder K mart is in trouble. They have insulted way too many people with their Joe cool boxers.

    One I just do not understand is craker barrell. I see it over and over, thought ok that looks like a pretty cool place. I go to the computer and look it up now go figure there are not craker barrels in CA. Now how stupid to show a commercial over and over in an area were there are none???

    Th image of watching this ad with my pastor made me laugh out loud The poor man is in his eighties and very proper! The toaster strudel one annoys me as well...I think that little boy is supposed to be German which makes it even more annoying to me. I am German and this is one of the worst stereotype portrayals
