quote: Including the ones for Mirena, talk about annoying. "...finish a SENTENCE!" It takes you five years to finish a sentence?
Actually, I get that. My life is so chaotic, I often joke about not being able to even finish a sentence. That one, I can relate to.
Maybe that's a more common expression in some parts of the country than others?
It must be.
But even if it was something I said, often, I wouldn't like the commercial. Something about the sing-songy chant makes me want to STRANGLE someone.

There was a particularly awful one in New Zealand that involved a vapid bunny puppet and an equally vapid young woman sending text messages to each other from three feet away... Be thankful you'll never see it.

There used to be some commercials for Quiznos (sandwich chain if you don't have them) where little mice or rats screeched out songs. Associating rodents with a food store: so stupid it was almost brilliant.
There's a lawyer who runs frequent commericials in Utah who has the most startling combination of straight, white teeth and soulless eyes empty of all but avarice. Keith Barton. His schtick is to show happy accident victims saying how much money he got them, then repeat a catchy slogan that reveals that you, too, can harvest endless bounty from the money tree that is tort law. Used to be "one call, that's all" now it's "It's just that easy." I was happy when I heard his $13MM mansion was foreclosed and sold at auction while he watched (not nearly enough punishment for borrowing that much money for personal benefit, but better than nothing). But somehow, he just won't get off the TV despite personal financial ruination. I still hope he will serve me fries one day.
I thought we were rid of Dell Schanze, former owner of a chain of retail PC stores called Totally Awesome Computers - his own financial downfall combined with multiple instances where his special brand of crazy ran afoul of public safety and enforcers thereof seemed to silence him for a while. But now he's back on the radio airwaves, singing a song about how The Money Train payday loan franchise will gladly give you a hamburger today and charge you for two hamburgers on Tuesday. It's not as bad as when he rented 30 minute infomercials to dispense free advice on how to live a happy life. Oh, and Dell is running for public office. I know Dell will never serve me fries - I think he'll choose to go out in some kind of blaze of glory.
Finally, the best cell phone commercial ever: Meat Loaf singing with his son in the garage.

Yes, although until now I didn't know what they were called. I really thought they were rodents.
