I'm sorry, but that Geico Mrs. Butterworth ad annoys the hell out of me.

:rant:

I GET IT! You're a fucking talking bottle of syrup! You don't HAVE a spine! STOP BEING SO MOTHERLY!!!

:rant:

Okay. I feel MUCH better now.

1. I'm with you. She did so much better (butter?) ads than this, before she sold out.

To a damned amphibian, no less. Or is it a reptile?

Anyway, she is a Boomer icon who sold her soul cheap.

And poured her buttery goodness away.

2. I like that ad

It's the AT&T ad with the stupid father/son singing combo that really makes me :puke: :puke: :puke:

3. I like that one.

It has Meat Loaf in it.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. Meat Loaf? Fine. Actors in the commercial? BARF!

[AlCzervik]

4. that's meatloaf and the wife is debbie gibson.

and that kid looks like a younger meatloaf. I think the ad is annoying but i was surprised to see it was actually Meatloaf himself.

6. I'll have to pay closer attention

It's mostly the kid who bugs me.

[Fox Mulder]

10. I just read that it was Tiffany in that commercial.

On IMDB.

7. Mrs. Butterworth annoys me

What is it, flavored corn syrup?

[jberryhill]

9. Yup...

She got cheaper even as Aunt Jemima moved uptown:

From this:



To this:



After Aunt Jemima got out of rehab, she managed to keep the weight off and dumped Uncle Ben for Rastus, the Cream of Wheat guy.

Uncle Ben was always something of a pompous asshole anyway...



...and nobody really knows how he was "converting" all of that rice. WTF was he converting it FROM and TO? He'd just laugh and shake his head and say, "I can't tell you, or it will upset Jemima. You know how she goes on."

So, Jemima went off to see Mrs. Butterworth for the weekend, and met Rastus working on the Pullman car:



...which, while it was tough for African Americans to find work in those days, was better than how he started his career:





Does anybody know what ever happened to
Aunt Jemima on the pancake box?
Rumor has it that she just up and disappeared.
Well, I know the real story
you see I ran into Aunt Jemima one day.
She told me she got tired of wearing that rag wrapped around her head.
And she got tired of making pancakes and waffles for other people to
eat while she couldn't sit down at the table.
She told me that Lincoln emancipated the slaves
but she freed her own damn self.
You know
The last time I saw Aunt Jemima
She was driving a Mercedes-Benz
with a bumper sticker on the back that said
"free at last, free at last,
thank God all mighty
I am free at last."

-- Sylvia Dunnavant, 1983

13. Uncle Ben? Really? I thought Aunt Jemima was married to this guy:
