Best of all half of the hosts were, and still are, British (sounding at least) because apparently someone with a British accent is smarter and classier than we poor North Americans.<br>I was rather shocked by this new commercial, it's innuendo so subtle I was surprised when by the end of the commercial they didn't have someone holding up a sign saying, "It's for sex!" But then, why beat around the bush (pun absolutely intended) :D I too grew up dreaming of knives so sharp they could cut a shoe in half, or a juicer which gave an 80 year old man the power to lift cars over his head.

I grew up with the magic bullet though, oh the half inch fruit smoothies they almost had me buy. Oh, tell spoony to change your little ad, it looks more like a joke picture, i thought it was until i saw it was clickable. Haha, do i know that knife commercial!

Also like the Family Matters knock-off whenever that episode comes on. Ron Popeil needs something new instead trying to push his kitchen utensils onto people or having rotating food in a box. Also, Trojan commercials are probably the lamest late night tv spots that you can ever find. Man, I vaguely remember that dating show, STUDS.

But yeah, the redhead's overacting is hilarious. Her superfluous facial expressions and eye rolling were great. In fact, if I couldn't clearly see her hands on the desk, I would have thought that she was "using" the product mentioned.
