Weird commercials.steemCreated with Sketch.

Lately there is a commercial that they've been playing on the TV at work which I find to be extraordinarily strange.

First of all, since we are restaurant and a bar, the type of programs that we play are all sports based.

Therefore I have to assume that this extended commercial is on one of the sports channels. I'm not sure what kind of deal they have worked out but it's pretty strange to see it.

The commercial is for a leaf blower.

I see a lot of yard men around my house blowing leaves because the Homeowners Association hires them.

Sometimes one of us will blow the leaves around the restaurant away from the front entry and the back entry ways.

Leaf blowers are good tools to have.

They are leaf blowers though. That's what they are, and to be honest I can't really imagine anyone getting extremely excited about using one.

That's why this commercial is so weird.

In the commercial a man has a leaf blower and he is happily swinging it around blowing leaves like crazy. He is accompanied by a buxom young blond woman that is also swinging her leaf blower around.

Everywhere that he goes this big breasted woman follows, and they both seem to be having an incredibly fun time blowing leaves away with their leaf blowers.

That is strange enough in itself because I can't imagine a situation where I could buy a leaf blower and then be accompanied by a pretty young blonde woman with big breasts who would help me blow the leaves off of my yard with a quick smile, and a bouncing attitude.

At one point I was watching at work and I turned to my friend just said What the hell?

That's because they were using this gas powered leaf blower to blow food off of the kitchen counter.

It was as if they were saying Look what what you can do with this leaf blower! You can clean the yard with it, and you can even clean off the kitchen counter!

With a gas powered leaf blower.

Wouldn't you like to have a gas powered leaf blower and use it to blow all of the crumbs and stuff off of your kitchen counter so that you can have the nice smell of gas in your house, and then also need to sweep up the floor later?

I think this is one of the strangest commercials that I've ever seen.

I can't help but wonder who they're trying to win over by showing that blond woman. Does someone maybe think that they will get women by using this leaf blower?

The whole thing is incredibly weird.

You still watch commercials? I can't say I can.. channel flipping comes into play when I see one.

There is no choice at work. The channel never changes.

they seem to use sex to sell viewers more things.

Haaahhhhhaashhhhhaahhhha. It is incredibly weird that they've got your attention @jeezzle and that's what commercials are all about, the manufacturers have got to sell their products, so any weirdity that gets sales up is welcome.

Maybe they should have just had the woman using the leaf blower by herself, I mean why include the man if she is blonde and buxom? .... and of course no inside use of gas powered blowers, that is a little irresponsible since there will be some folks that won't think past what they see and decide using one inside is a good idea.

Funny, but I think I know what you mean. I can't remember now what it was, but some time back I noticed I kept seeing a commercial and it dawned on me one day that I had no idea what they were trying to sell. LOL.... I guess they have to try, but so much of it misses it's mark with me. I don't use cable or satellite tv service, so I watch antenna tv occasionally, so of course, I still see commercials.
