Much like new movies and shows, I'm clearly not the target audience anymore, and the same goes for commercials. I'm going to buy the same shit I've always bought, and in many cases because it's the same shit my parents bought. Charmin toilet paper. Tide detergent. Irish Spring soap. Life cereal. And so on. No amount of gorgeous women with giant tits is going to make me buy a light beer that tastes like watered down ass or a phone from a crappy provider (sorry, Lilly), anymore than some singing and dancing fat chick is going to make me pester my doctor.

100% with you in that no commercial ever has inspired me to go get a given product... I either needed or liked the product beforehand, or I didn't
The last time I was that suggestible, was as a child when maybe Count Chocula had the little baking soda powered bathtub submarine buried in there somewhere
