Doing things is what I like to do...yes!

Post by heyzeus »

I hate you Dunkin Donuts. I hate you forever. That song is the poop stain on the crisp white underpants of America. There has never been a more meaningless, repetitive, teeth-gnashing jingle in the history of TV ads.

With apologies to my 6th grade friend Raj, whose family ran the Dunkin Donuts at Fee Fee and Olive that fueled much of my high school truancy, I will never eat a dunkin donut again. Unless they are offered to me free somewhere, in which case I will just pretend they're another donut, and I won't enjoy them either.

I guess nobody else has seen this commercial. If I rant in a forest...

We don't have Dunkin' Donuts in the StL area. Not sure about the Chicago contingent.

I know the jingle, I luckily just hadn't associated it with Dunkin Donuts yet. It was one of those things that was probably bouncing around in the back of my head, heard in the background on TV while on the computer, and now heyzeus has given it life and I won't be able to stop singing it in my head.

I think it's kind of catchy

like herpes, it's the gift that keeps on giving.

We do on the East Side - which I guess is close enough for the commercial to get air play in the St. Louis market, because I see it on TV all the time.

It's no more annoying than some Captain Morgan commercial... because that's what the tune reminds me of.

We don't have DD out here, so I've been spared. But there's nothing worse than a bad commercial that runs continuously.

Huh. I've never seen it.

But I watch a lot of NHL Network at home. For those of you who have never tuned in the NHL Network, you don't know the meaning of repeatative commercials. They have about 6 total commercials that they run over, and over, and over again. I can recite all of them.

There are no DD around here, but I hear this jingle 2-3 times a day. I totally approve this rant, even as I try to get the jingle out of my head because of this rant.

I was tempted to post a youtube clip of the commercial, but I didn't want to share the misery. Thanks KY!
