Every time this commercial is on, I want to stick a fork in my EYE:evil: .... Old Navy has to have the most ANNOYING ads on TV. And the worst thing about them is you see the ad and then your running around all day singing the bermuda shorts version of the classic song Fame:rolleyes:
BTW I posted this in experimental because I think the ad is an experiment in paitence:lol:

P.S. Remember those D@%N Christmas ads?:evil:

It's like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer, it feels so good when you stop.

Nothing a mute button and some toenail clippers won't cure. Thank God for crap commercials lest my toenails would be sadly neglected.

I also think this commercial is annoying.

However, I thought the Christmas ads this past year were GENIUS!

(Jingle Bells)

Hey there, Katie, what's up? (dashing through the snow..)
It must be great having 14 cousins.
Except at this time of year,
That shure is a whole lot of presents!
Check out the new performance fleece,
Only at Old Navy!
Exciting new colors and styles!
Like zipped hoodies, faux bombers,
and pull-overs.
and by the way, your Mom says "Hi!"

yes, I typed that from memory

No it isn't genius. It's not even funny.
Now, the Geico ad "let's get campy" Old Navy parody is genius.
The way Bud turned every Miller Lite commercial into a Bud commercial is genius.

Thats my whole point... they get into your head and you cant stop thinking about it or ever forget it... well come to think of it I guess it good marketing on their end.:rolleyes:

The only good thing about the Christmas ads was the blond girl in the commercial, Elisha Cuthbert MMMMM MMMMM MMMMM :p

So I guess living in Europe has some advantages then :D

If they did advertise here, the ad would be just as bad but the price would be higher :(

Old Navy has ruined every nostalgic/pop culture/campy fun memory I have with their lame commercials.

There's good advertising and then there's Old Navy's 'new words to songs you already know" approach - that's why they stick in your head. It's music already embedded into the social consciousness, bastardized for consumption.

Yeah, I hate those ads. :)
