There was one (I think Viagra) commercial a few years ago that was so strange. A guy is standing outside in the yard, trying to throw a football through a tire swing. His wife is standing on the porch, and she frowns when he throws a wobbly pass and the ball and it bounces off the side of the swing. They do the voiceover for the product, and then cut back to the back yard, where the guy throws a screamer right through the middle of the tire swing. His wife smiles, and they walk inside, with his arm around her waist, apparently to throw the old football through the tire swing.

I always thought it looked like a sequence that should have been on "Married With Children."

I never saw that commercial....I usually wind up seeing all the 'Bob' commercials...

I remember that ad as well; I think it may have been on during the Super Bowl. It had a certain "subliminal in the sense of a club to the head" quality, didn't it? Imagine the advertising exec who actually thought putting the football through the tire was effective symbolism. That commercial was just creepy.

That was Enzyte, I think. Their ads are really dumb.

Reminds me of the SNL skit with Hugh Hefner. Hef the commander of a long cylindrical spaceship docks with a donut shaped spaceship crewed by women. After the docking the men all fall asleep and the women light up cigarettes on their ship.
