Kids in Commercials

Yeah they're either overbearingly sappy or the kid's a rude obnoxious sh*tstain. It's like those are the only two modes kids in cmmercials can be.

Don't forget the sh*t-brained advertising executives who green-lighted these ridiculous commercials.

If you're talking about the laundry detergent one where the kid slides down the hill, that's actually the kid's MOM!  I know I too thought at first it was some older kid but someone somewhere was mentioning about the kids mom saying it and I watched closer the next time and...sure enough.

What I think needs to die the death of a thousand cuts is the "stock kid's laugh" that you hear in EV-ERY-THING TV, movies, but most of all commercials constantly!  For one thing I have never heard a kid who laughs like that, if they insist on using a cheap stock recording at least it's time to make a new one that sounds like an actual kid laughing and not a chipmunk getting kidney-shanked.

Stock sound clips annoy me anyway.  The Wilhelm Scream at this point is just a joking nod, no big deal.  But the three big offenders are the Howie Long Scream (yyrrrrAAHHH!! you know the one), the "stock police radio chatter" (female dispatcher saying something like 7856 Code six... ) and the most ear grating the stock kid's laughter noise!  My sister and nephew (he's 7) are staying at my place for a few days until she moves into her new apartment and so of course it's cartoons for him non-stop and if I hear that unholy laughter on a commercial one...more...time... my tv is going out the window.

Oh the pain--when was the last time they used the Goofy holler? That's annoying too.

I think the Pedialyte (or is it Pediasure?) kids are cute, as they're not acting.  One has a little girl dancing, and the other has a baby laughing.  It's when kids have to read lines written by adults, that they get annoying.

I hate TV spots with kids.
