Link didn't work,but I'm assuming it was the "personal massager" commercial you linked to.
I found it funny that the guy at the end of the commercial celebrates when his wife informs him that she received not one but three "personal massagers"...it's almost as if he's saying " Yes!! Now I don't have to deal with you anymore."
Overall,I find the majority of commercials to be silly,they either seem completely out of touch with reality or fall into simple formulas of fear peddling,joining the heard or delusional fantasy..
I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

I happen to think that GEICO commericlas are some of the most tolerable ads these days, and sometimes genuinely funny

I either mute commercials or watch everything on DVR so I can fast forward.

QFT. I never watch live TV anymore - everything is set to record so I can watch it when I get time to. My dad does the same thing, we just hate commercials to the point where we'll skip past 'em.

Whenever I load up on-line content from across the pond I get thirty second commercials about Glee, electric cars, tiny pizzas and an unemployed guy doing interviews for a big company. Gaaaaah!

On a side note, they might as well be doing this, only not as funny.

Who says punk died
And Trojan commercials could be less ridiculous if we weren't so squeamish as a society. Even the Adam and Eve ads that run on Comedy Central are stupidly tame.
Punk didn't die...however some of it's early pioneers going from " I want to destroy the passerby" to " My this butter is lovely." may indeed indicate that punk is now incurably senile.
Also, I agree with you 100% concerning "Morality issues" causing Trojan (and other) adds to come across as simply silly.
