Personally, I’m sick of the Carl’s Jr. commercials. For some reason, in the US, it is considered “manly” for a guy to stuff his face full of artery-clogging take-out food… or else he’s *gasp* GAY.

Yeah, keep eating, fellas. A few weeks later you wont be able to find your own dick, and then you’ll cry about all of those “shallow bitches” who want nothing to do with you.

I just can’t believe they’re still using Baby Bob in their commercials- he is seriously creepy to me. I was hoping he’d go away after that failed sitcom, but no such luck. I think he falls into some sort of Uncanny Valley territory for me that makes me immediately change the channel.

Point? I was supposed to have a point? Okay fine: talking baby= disturbing, misogynistic talking baby= really, really disturbing.

I saw it for the first time this weekend, too. Seriously, it frightened me a little.

Diane, I’m just relieved to hear I’m not the only one who felt that way! It doesn’t sound so bad when I try to describe it to someone, but once you see it… oye.

My girlfriend and I saw that ad this weekend. After that line we both looked at each other with a bemused expression. Her response, “Well, that cost me an I.Q. point.” How’s that for a slice of life reaction?

Yeah, and the expression on the woman who doesn’t speak puts across that same vibe.

YouTube provides part of the “meat” commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PLyruHv7EI

The giggling makes it sound like the women are reading from a script they’re almost too embarassed to repeat. Classy.
