    Apparently you didn't see the new follow-up commercial aired this week. Yes, they still look odd couple to me, but at least the girl admits she like the guy when she put her head on his shoulder at the end.

      Sounds like it should be about recycling, then...

        The world is full of couples who look odd together! Oceanic's spot is just depicting a slice of real life!

          Is the Board of Water Supply doing an ad now where people in neighborhoods dump large garbage cans with a load full of water, showing an example of "wasting water". I get the point, but I think they wasted water showing the example.

            At least the commerical didn't have a couple that's so good looking that you hate them.

              That spot was shot almost 4 years ago and is currently airing again. It appears the ad got it's point across!

                I flinch every time I see the ad of the sprinkler irrigating the parking lot...
                Youth may be wasted on the young, but retirement is wasted on the old.
                Live like you're dying, invest like you're immortal.
                We grow old if we stop playing, but it's never too late to have a happy childhood.
                Forget about who you were-- discover who you are.

We know him as the receipt checker (and our kids know him as one of the people who draws happy faces for kids on receipts). Nice friendly guy who, of course, now gets teased all the time about the ad.
                  I thought that was him! Those commercials are silly, but effective!

                  My least favorite commercials are the "get every possible member of the family on the screen" ones--I think they are health insurance commercials. But I'm thinking they are effective for the multigenerational demographic here in Hawaii.

                  Guess it reminds me that my family is not so big and close. Vestiges of military bratdom.

                      Maybe they're bottled water ... imported.

                      Hate to be the guy who had to fill those trash bins.

                        And then her friend calling to thank her for letting him know about Job Link.

                        WORST. ON-AIR. TALENT. EVER.

                        Really ruins my Olympics experience.

                            I don't know if there is a thread for this and I guess the ADM can shift it if there is.
                            I HATE the Kaiser Permanente heavy breathing ads. If they come on and I am doing something across the room I will run over and slam them into either mute or another channel.
                            HATE them.
                            Not too fond of the Jade Moon energy ads either but at least I don't go leaping over furniture to silence them.

                              I hate the Oceanic TW one with the dude and his wife on the couch...I don't remember what they're talking about, but at the end, she says something about chick flicks.

                                I don't "hate" that commercial. But I don't find that particular Oceanic spot to be very appealing, either.

                                The best one they had was the one where the ladies in the neighborhood were yelling at each other to "save" on their phone bill.
