Those creepy Brawny paper towel commercials

There's one that is running lots lately and it is so irritating. The Brawny Man bakes a birthday cake. There are so many homoerotic overtones. The way he seduces the camera. The way he cleans up his icing. And whatever that is in his pants that looks like a garden hose. It's almost as creepy as that Burger King with the big head.

Nothing creepy about him to me. The Burger King, I mean. You can see the Brawny guy and his package, at this link.

If you think the original commercial has homoerotic overtones, check out the other commercial on the link below. The husband gets in on the act and the Brawny man has to wipe white frosting off his face.

And if you're really interested, click on the "Innocent Escapes" bar on the right side of the page. You can make movies of the Brawny man seducing you.

Personally I am glad the Brawny man is gettin' some! Marge Simpson has had a crush on him for years.

I nominate the "Bears poop in the woods" commercial for toilet paper as the most disturbing 30 seconds on television-- Mama buys the bears new toilet paper, Daddy Bear sits against the Tree with a newspaper, grabs the toilet paper and reaches down...we cut to Daddy Bear's delighted face as the TP makes contact! There are others in the series where a little girl bear in glasses all but squeals with delight over the feel of the new TP. It is repellent, but I'm sure some fetishists are buying plenty of that TP.

That's the first time I've seen the Brawny commercial. That is sexy and rather psycho at the same time. The whole husband dreaming thing is hilarious because it basically has NOTHING to do with paper towels. Homoerotic commercials ROCK!

And JoeKv, I totally agree about the bears in the woods. I always thought that was gross. How about the boy bear who is just about to wipe and the father is watching and tells him he doesn't need that much? HOW DOES THE FATHER KNOW? I imagine bears multitudes of clingons that require attention.

Homoerotic overtones... how about the one with the two rolls of paper towels talking to each other... I believe they were discussing "getting in touch with one's feminine side," but it's been a while.
