Anyway, fuck those commercials.
Cha-cha-cha! Charmin!

I am so sick of those commercials for Charmin with the bears taking shits out in the woods, and they're drawn all shakey and "quirky". Come on, there's no way to cuten them up, they're pooping! It's gross! And I'm not completely sold that bears are so concerned with wiping their asses anyway. And if they are, they CAN'T give a damn about how soft their toilet paper is. They maul campers and hikers, for god's sake. (Also, is this how they get their TP? Or do they have to go to the store with the money stolen from the wallet of the camper they just ate, and buy the Charmin Ultra Mega-Roll toilet paper? They could just bite the checkout clerk and steal it, you know. Hmmmm. I think I'm on to something.)
Anyway, fuck those commercials.

When I see these commercials, I picture a stupid ad executive dreaming it up in a board room. He probably said, "Hey, does a bear shit in the woods?" Har, har, har."
I want that guy Mr. Whimple back-- the one who would be all revved up whenever people squeezed said Charmin. He was a bit of a pervert but he was charming!
Why isn't it pronounced "Charmin'" as in the word "charming" like the Prince or the Luckys? It should be "Sharmin." But I guess that looks a look like Sherman. And that reminds people of, you guessed it-- Sherman Helmsley. And you don't wanna go wiping your ass with Sherman Helmsley. That is not my idea of a smooth wipe. Shit don't cling to Sherman. And he can't very well absorb after-urine driblets. He's a man, not a paper product.
I do hate me some whimsical crapping bear animation as well, but I think the commercials have done as good a job as we'll ever see at answering the classic rhetorical question: "Does a bear shit in the woods?"
I think bears need soft toilet paper like Charmin. Have you ever been hiking? You're all stinky, full of suncreen and bug spray, and probably don't taste very good. What's a bear to do when he gets indigestion from eating you?
Ugh, those commercials drive me INSANE! I get the stupid song in my head for about 4 days straight, and when it finally goes away, the pooping bears parade across my tv screen to remind me how annoying they are again. *sigh*
That reminds me of the joke about the bear in the woods talking to the rabbit. The bear says to the rabbit, "Do you have trouble with shit sticking to your fur?"
To which the rabbit replied, "No, no I don't."
So the the bear picks up the rabbit and wipes his ass with it.
The caption for the picture:
"Hey, little cub, why don't ya sniff this here toilet paper for a second? Yeah, sniff it good and deep...
"Oh, that? That's just my man part. It likes rubbing up against your little cub-parts. No, don't turn around, just keep sniffin' that paper now..."
is that little girl sniffing the paper before or after she used it??
I majored in advertising in college, and these commercials started airing my senior year (2001). My copywriting professors absolutely loved them and we actually devoted countless hours of lectures to them. And my parents had to pay for it.
