Dancing in Commercials

[jdb in AZ]

Anyone else notice how many t.v. commercials have dancing? A local restaurant chain, Samsung, the doofus in the Toyota commercials, and the latest (and worst) dancing with relief after taking an enema. Is that even safe?

Yes. I cannot stand the current Old Navy commercial with Ady Bryant -- it's all because of the music.

The #1 spot within the last year is the Paragard birth control commercial. Ugh. Yeah, dancing around with the device in her hand.

Yes...lots of dancing. And lots of dogs. Dogs are in so many commercials that have nothing to do with dogs. So I guess people like to dance...and they love dogs.

See a lot of dancing on old navy commercials.

I have always loved musicals, where people are constantly bursting into song and dance spontaneously, and so I don’t mind commercials that do the same. Would I personally sing and dance down the street waiving some kind of medical device? Probably not. But the idea of singing and dancing as I walk down the street isn’t so far fetched to me.

No clue. We haven't watched a commercial in years. Everything is recorded on the DVR or on streaming.

No, but I do absolutely despise perfume / aftershave and coffee commercials with celebrities. The instruction those people get looks like: "Here's a pretty outfit, all you have to do is look pretty".

Of my favourite singing/dancing commercials, this one is at the top:

That makes two of us, although if a WDW commercial comes on while I'm FFing I might watch that.

i usually ignore or FF through commercials if I can, so I haven't seen any of the ones referenced in the OP. There is one Geico commercial I actually enjoy - the Tag Team/ice cream one - Scoop there it is!

That one is just bizarre. I don't get it. For those who haven't seen it.

Now this one is fun and doesn't seem as random.

Yes! I can take this one.

The first one is all because of the music. The "I am 100%" ... nails on a chalkboard. I think it is because anytime I have live TV on in the background it comes on.

It's not actually that bad if one listens to the whole thing. It's certainly weird in the context of the commercial.

Nope, it is actually that bad. (obviously just my own opinion) Can't stand it!! NO!!

OLD NAVY… I’m a dancer commercial
This convinced me .. never to shop there lol.

I truly think the commercial itself , the “ acting” is pathetic.
If I were the female lead, I’d be insulted… she seriously looks …awful and pathetic.

I like both the Old Navy commercials. The first one impresses me because they actually put their money where their mouth is and show all sorts of body types in an ad about carrying a wide range of clothing sizes.

The second one is just cute - but it also shows a lot of their kids' styles quickly, which I think makes for good use of their ad time as well.
