That Lume commercial where the chubby lady threatens to demonstrate how she washes her crack....man...what is this world coming to? I thought there was supposed to be a code of ethics that prohibited such blunt...

..frankness?

Lume commercial

OMG, I am so sick of hearing that cow talk about crotch odor!

I guess they feel that the blunt approach will gain eyeshare? And, I'll admit the first time I saw it, it grabbed my attention. But the shelf life is no so good. Once you've seen a few repetitions, it grows painfully familiar.

I guess a different standard of decency applies to cable advertisements vs over-the-air?

I just don't see any company such as the big soaps (P&G... Unilever... etc), stooping to such a level

That horrible commercial repulsed me the first time I saw it and now it's annoying and still gross.

An irritating commercial are those dumb Peloton commercials with that horrible rap music blasting in the background. I pick that as the second most annoying commercial. Lume is #1.

There's a new one that I've seen a few times with some woman singing about shaving her pubic hair.

Seriously, who wants to hear that?!?

I wanted to 🤮🤮🤮🤮 after reading this.
She is really annoying.

I think the streamers deliberately accept the most repulsive ads to get you to pay for the "ad free" option.

GentlemanJim · 08-26-2022, 12:17 PM

It's a potential minefield issue. On the one hand, it's probably a good thing to have more people made conscious of potential human "flaws". Experience certainly reveals that not all parents adequately brief their children on the subject. SO, if the information didn't come through television, some people would likely never get the message.

But, I feel this particular (Lume) commercial is excessively frank.

I use the following product for pretty much the same (exclusive) purpose, the name krakengarde just seemed to resonate with me in a "fit for the intended purpose" sort of way.

Seems to work, too

There are a ton of irritating commercials. I either mute them or turn the channel. And yes, I can't stand the Lume commercials or the ED ones.

Is that commercial really on TV?

Yes.....after I first posted this, I was uncertain which channel I had seen it on. But last night saw it on one of our local Diginet channels......Cozi late time slot.

I'm pretty sure it's been on the cable channels too.

GentlemanJim · 08-29-2022, 11:39 AM

Thing of it is, I don't consider myself an intolerant person, and I'm certainly not a "prude".

I believe the Lume and the Aids prophylactic medication commercials are misplaced. Even so...an occasional showing would not aggravate me. But, when these two, coupled with the "bent carrot", "pinching off a porcupine", ED, and a few others go into heavy rotation.....they start to create sort of a wallpaper, that I find annoying.

I understand that repetition is key in advertising, but seeing that gal lament about her sweaty cheeks 5+ times per hour really starts to ruin the programming they are sponsoring, IMO.

She's like the neighbor who I never want to answer the door, once I realize it's her knocking

I wrote on another similar thread, the ad that informs us that women poop.

Who knew?

KurtfromPitts · 08-31-2022, 10:46 AM

The one for Klondike bars where a guy cuts or shaves of one of his eyebrows. Sick, IMO.

JFYI, the Lume commercial was on AMC several times last night.

I'm starting to suspect that offending their customers is key to their marketing strategy. Assuring the commercial is remembered. Lucky for them, I guess,... that the problem they claim to solve is even more offensive than the advertisements

"Oh, I don't want to be a sweathog, I'd better buy Lume" etc.
