Re: "Thinking with your dipstick"

That really is an annoying commercial. Nice thing to teach kids that it's OK to whack people with a metal whip!

I also always hated (and muted or changed channels) any commercial that Billy Mays was in . . . I hated hearing his booming raspy voice and the tv always gets louder when commercials come on. Now he's dead and seems they replay them more than ever :mad:

I thought I read somewhere that he was coked up and that's what brought on his heart attack?

The DVR is sweet and I try and record shows just so I can scan over the commercials.

It should be rated as one of the most stupid commercials ever. It doesn't make sense. How does one think with his dipstick?

You are correct, well, one autopsy said there were traces of cocaine, and another autopsy said there were no traces of cocaine. WTF?!:confused: Am I missing something here?

Out of all the companies, I hate McDonald's commercials the most. They have that terrible jingle, and they're on the radio and tv. Apparently, their marketing director is not "thinking with his dipstick." Now, I like Burger King and Miller High Life commercials, they can actually make me laugh.

Re: "Thinking with your dipstick"

The job of the marketing people who come up with advertising campaigns is to make it memorable. Sometimes they make them so likeable you can't wait to talk about them. Sometimes so annoying you can't wait to talk about it, as in this case. Either way, if you are remembering the ad from the hundreds of others you see, they've done their job well!! My Cummins dipstick is over 3' long. EN GARDE JIMMY! :p
Filled with Scottish blood, I think it's bloody brilliant!!!!!!:D:D

Yes I'm getting pretty sick of it now but it was funny @1st. I still think one of the all time clasic's was the Dodge Hemi powered ram commercial where the guy in the passenger seat kept yelling "PICKIN UP LUMBER IN THE DODGE HEMI POWERED RAM" or goinig fishin in the dodge hemi powered ram with the mega phone love it or hate it it still got your attention.

Speaking of the Dell Lollipop commercial...

Watch it closely next time,

at the very beginning, the music starts, the factory lights come on,

two dudes pop up from behind a conveyor belt,

and the guy on the right is buttoning up his overalls!!:eek::eek:

-Just what the heck is going on during third shift?!:D

Personally, the funniest commercial has to be the Office Linebacker.

Also, I don't mind the Dipstick commercial. I find in inspirational and makes me wanna go wack someone with a dipstick...like a neighbor of mine who is a #$@# dipstick!

I've been pointing that scene out also. Opps, did I say "out"? As in "out" of the closet for those two guys.:eek:

If he wasn't holding an actual dipstick and said "thinking with your dipstick" what would you have thought? ;) :D

Anyone remember Mentos? They haven't run it in years but I still remember them because they were really stupid.
