When you're watching VH1 they apparently only have access to three commercials. These are Pamprin, Nissan, and Taco Bell.

I hate the Nissan ad the most. A guy and girl are playing "Marco Polo" only they're driving around in cars. Only it's totally f**king cheating because they both have GPS. And why aren't their eyes closed? I demand a fair game, damn it.

The Taco Bell ad features a jackass on an elevator asking a guy if the queso on his taco is "cheesy, spicy, PARTY!! queso queso?"

YES. FACKING YES. Now go back to where you spawn, Foghat concerts.

And the Pamprin ad is just retarded. For one this it's really awkward to be watching TV with your dad when all of a sudden a woman yells out "WHEN I GET MY PERIOD!! It's not just one thing, it's everything!!"
They have little bubbles for all the symptoms- for cramps and backaches, she's clutching her abdomen and back, respectively; for bloating, she's...IDK I don't remember. But for irritability, it's just her staring blankly into space. What's that all about?
And I hate how they knock Tylenol and Advil for not treating all the symptoms. Yeah, that's cuz it's not what they're made for. They're made for pain and THAT'S IT.

The Marco Polo game is also bad since the price of gas is over $4.00.  Yeah, I want to drive around and waste gas too.

I agree about the stupid Marco Polo one. It makes me want to seriously injure these stupid yuppy idiots for encouraging such wastefulness. Who the hell are these people? And what kind of city are they living in, where there are huge buildings everywhere, but the streets are empty??

Thankfully, I haven't seen the others.

Is it me or isn't Marco Polo supposed to be a game that you play in the water WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, not in your freaking car on the street with your eyes wide open!!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Polo_(game)

well they could try driving the game with their eyes closed but that might result into hilarious Blues Brothers style crashingLOL.

NOW THAT would be a funny commercial!!!

Apparently so.
 
We used to play it in the pool when I was a kid.
 
One person is "it" & has to tread water in the deep end with their eyes closed.
 
Everyone else stands on both sides of the pool & dives in randomly trying to make it to the other side.
 
The peson treading water in the middle with their eyes closed has to tag someone before they get to the other side. When they do, they yell "Marco Polo!!!
 
Great fun.
 
As long as nobody drowns.

Did I mention that after the "it" person tags someone & yells "Marco Polo!!!", that the person who got tagged becomes the new "it" person?
 
Or is that considered to be a given?

Not quite the only one. I knew it was a tag game, but didn't know about the swimming part. But then I never learned to swim, so for me the game would be over rather quickly.

Thor, I was a lifeguard in the late 60's and early 70's and watched kids play all kinds of games, never saw that one until my own kids were playing it in the 80's.

Well, if I was living in some parallel universe in my youth, at least I'm not the only one.  Wikipedia says the game's been around since the 1700's.
