This commercial annoys the #$%&! out of me!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Has anyone seen the ad for the Clapper Plus? It turns on/off the lights and other appliances by pushing a button. It's like the little handheld device that locks/unlocks the new cars. But they still use the "CLAP ON, CLAP OFF" jingle and the name Clapper is used for the product. But YOU DON'T CLAP to use it, so WHY USE THE NAME CLAPPER!?? I know it's stupid, but it just annoys me no end when I see it on TV. OK, I feel better now that I've gotten that rant out of my system.

If you feel better Monika, then I feel better.

I haven't seen that ad, but can I say what ad bugs me? It's the one where the young boy comes home, and to show how he's carrying germs, he turns into one giant germ. We see his insides, just crawling.

Then, they show a the phone, covered with germs too. I think it's for Lysol. I'm too busy being disgusted to catch what they're even advertising. That clap off feature would come in handy about then, lol.

Ewwww...

I'm happy to say I've never seen that commercial. GROSS!!

BensonFan · 12-15-2007, 01:44 AM

I never saw that one, Monika, but what always annoys me is those "Chia Pet" commercials. "Makes the perfect gift" they say. For WHO? Did you ever know ANYONE who actually wanted that thing?

catlover79 · 12-15-2007, 01:46 AM

They should say it makes a great GAG gift. One of my sister's best friends gave her one for Christmas as a joke several years back. Plus, do you ever see ads for the Chia or Clapper any other time of the year? Have you ever seen one aired in May or June?? Didn't think so.

Never seen it...but I'd take one if someone wanted to buy it for me. That way I could be lazy and not have to get out of bed or walk in the dark to get to my bed at night.

Chia Homer makes a better gift.

Yes, some commercials are so God awful they should be used to torture spies. But then there are the clever & fun ones, like the '84 commercial with Clara Peller in the Wendy's one looking at a 0.3 oz burger and exclaiming "where's the beef?"

Hey - I LOVED the Where's The Beef ads! Clara Peller was a rock goddess!

There's a TJ Maxx ad playing for the Christmas season right now and I can't stand it. A woman is supposedly taking a picture of her husband holding their baby in front of the sofa after opening gifts. She's talking in this stupid "baby talk" so you think it's at the baby at first - then realize she's ignoring them and taking a picture of the leather briefcase she bought her husband.

It's so stupid!

Nighthawk76 · 12-15-2007, 11:31 AM

Uh, okay, Monika.

catlover79 · 12-15-2007, 11:52 PM

That Clapper commerical was on twice during the news tonight!!

I've never seen the TJ Maxx one, but it sounds stupid too.
