jdginaz08 Aug 2018 3:18 p.m. PST

stupid and juvenile

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2018 3:24 p.m. PST

Funny.

Karellian Knight08 Aug 2018 4:01 p.m. PST

Funny

Dn Jackson Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2018 5:17 p.m. PST

Mildly amusing

Personal logo StoneMtnMinis Supporting Member of TMP08 Aug 2018 6:07 p.m. PST

Funnier than 99% of the advertising we are subjected to daily.

goragrad08 Aug 2018 6:30 p.m. PST

Amusing.

Winston Smith08 Aug 2018 9:54 p.m. PST

Uhhhh….
Dumb. They've given their ad agency too much freedom.

Texas Jack09 Aug 2018 12:02 a.m. PST

Cute, a bit juvenile. Donīt see what all the hubbub is about though.

PzGeneral09 Aug 2018 4:07 a.m. PST

The hubbub is because of the society we currently live in.

That's all…

EDIT: I just showed it to my wife. She laughed…

Ed Mohrmann Supporting Member of TMP09 Aug 2018 4:46 a.m. PST

Neither amusing NOR offensive – at least not to me.

Patrick R09 Aug 2018 4:47 a.m. PST

I don't know if it's funny or offensive, but I'm hungry right now …

mad monkey 109 Aug 2018 7:08 a.m. PST

Brilliant.

Cyrus the Great09 Aug 2018 7:32 a.m. PST

A direct rip-off of the SNL Delicious Dish skits with Pete Schweddy and his Schweddy Balls! Having said that, I liked it.

Memento Mori09 Aug 2018 9:37 a.m. PST

We are talking about the company and the product and that is the purpose of advertising.

Waco Joe09 Aug 2018 9:51 a.m. PST

Not as good as their stoner ads but funny nonetheless.

Private Matter09 Aug 2018 1:07 p.m. PST

I thought it was a bit on the juvenile side but funny.

PzGeneral some people are easily offended, even here are this esteemed forum. My TMP name used to be Col. Lingus, but someone complained to Bill that it was offensive so I got banned until I changed it so now I am demoted to Private Matter. If a person is offended by a stupid double entandre and feel the need to complain, my advice to that person is to 'suck it up buttercup.'

Dn Jackson Supporting Member of TMP09 Aug 2018 4:26 p.m. PST

I would fall into the category of, 'not offended, but I don't want my kids exposed to this sort of thing.' So I can see why some people might be upset.

Patrick Sexton Supporting Member of TMP09 Aug 2018 4:44 p.m. PST

Colonel Lingus? How about his cousin, Colonel Angus?

Private Matter09 Aug 2018 5:53 p.m. PST

Dn Jackson – I can see that argument but would a little kid get it?

skippy000109 Aug 2018 6:50 p.m. PST

Could've been worse-they could have spelled it bowels.

Old Wolfman10 Aug 2018 6:29 a.m. PST

I don't eat there.

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP10 Aug 2018 1:36 p.m. PST

These bowls – do they come in a box?

Or, should I say, does Jack keep his bowls in his box ?

Pictors Studio10 Aug 2018 6:46 p.m. PST

I can see no reason why anyone would be upset about this. It is kind of funny, not hilarious. The best part is that there is a clown in a suit.

Dn Jackson Supporting Member of TMP10 Aug 2018 10:37 p.m. PST

"Dn Jackson – I can see that argument but would a little kid get it?"

I don't care if they get it. That sort of conversation is one I'd like to have when I feel its time, not when they see a commercial.

Pictors Studio10 Aug 2018 10:52 p.m. PST

If they don't get it, there doesn't need to be any conversation.

cfuzwuz11 Aug 2018 12:05 a.m. PST

Stupid, but does not offend as much as their food!

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP12 Aug 2018 8:56 p.m. PST

Not as bad as this one:

It's a stupid, juvenile ad that is a bit clever.
