"I'll take dinner in my room - with CHOCOLATE MILK!"

[derby378]

Is anyone else rubbed the wrong way by this Johnsonville commercial? Just curious.

[irisblue]

1. OMG YES!

immediate mute

[csziggy]

2. YES - especially since I dislike the flavor of Johnsonville sausage

Their spice mixture just doesn't taste good to me at all.

[derby378]

3. I've never tried Johnsonville, but ANY sausage paired with chocolate milk...

...well, I've eaten chocolate bone marrow cake right out of the femur, but I don't think I can manage that.

[csziggy]

4. True - that is not an apealing flavor combo! n/t

[frogmarch]

5. I like it and think it's funny.

I don't care about sausage of any kind, but the commercial makes me chuckle every time I see it because after he says "...with CHOCOLATE MILK!" I imagine the guy running upstairs and logging in to Freeperville.

I think the commercial is clever, unlike most of them.

7. another vote for funny

I mute all commercials, except for that one and Christmas perfume commercials. I think it's absolutely hilarious.

Of course, I teach with students at that age level, so maybe that's why I find it so funny.

15. Did you notice that the

headline on the newspaper the father holds up reads, "The Johnsonville factory burned down, Brian", exactly what the father says?

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. It is funny

[madamesilverspurs]

6. It does seem to parody

the dark side of the Peter Pan Syndrome, yes?

At the moment, the commercial that has me chuckling is the "Flo goes 1950s" insurance ad. Women don't have jobs and where's your husband -- well done in grainy black and white.

12. It's just silly to me.

I don't see what the gripe is about.

8. I've been boycotting J'ville products as much as possible ever since the supported Scott Walker in

the recall debacle.

[snacker]

9. No Johnsonville products in this house

We will continue to boycott them because they support Scott Walker....and we don't!

[irisblue]

10. okay, now that I know that, never again, thanks nt

11. I live close to Johnsonville...

And love their "Better With Cheddar" sausages, especially.

Should they bring back Charlie Murphy?

[vanlassie]

13. That commercial made me LOL the first time I saw it.

It's the jumping for the stairs coupled with the "chocolate milk!" comment. LOL!

[derby378]

14. I gotta admit, that WAS funny...

"Peter Pan syndrome" was mentioned earlier, IIRC.

[Tipperary]

16. I would not like that combination personally, but I do think the commercial is kind of funny.

He does the little kid "stair jump" perfectly.

[mackerel]

17. Now I'm craving chocolate milk

[derby378]

19. Should I send cookies? (n/t)

[jmowreader]

21. No. Sausage.

[Throd]

20. I thought the homemade newspaper headline with the kid's name in it was hilarious.

And the look of resignation on Mom's face when he decided to stay.

[wgzn]

22. nope.

though not really breaking any new ground. effective ad and very well performed.

not sure why anyone would be "rubbed the wrong way" unless you're a 30-something still living in the childhood bedroom of your parent's house. in which case, who cares what you think?
