41. #15 Gee..I totally agree. I've been with T-Mobile for 5 years too. Never a problem, always polite to deal with. If you want loony-tunes sounds, fireworks, and gadgets ...this is not the company for you. And please..dont complain about the service..who really wants to hear your useless conversations while in a supermarket. As for Catherine..good luck. Change is always good.

42. Soooooo agree with #3 comments. I destest those Geico commercials as well with the so called celebrities.) Kathy, kudos to you for writing my exact thoughts.

43. WHAT is wrong with Geico donating lasar guns to the police? .... speeding is illegal if you've not heard, and by keeping speeding down, accidents are reduced, and INSURANCE CLAIMS are kept down! Geico has great premiums, they are there 24/7, customer service is fantastic! No complaints here about Geico. If you're not speeding ....doesn't matter how many lasar guns the police have.... it's for your protection too, careless speeders (and I'm talking over 8 mph over the speed limit) involve innocent people in a lot of accidents!

44. The truth is....we are sick to death of celebrities! I can't stand to see them everywhere & I can't stand to hear their voices in ads & especially voiceovers in cartoon/movies. Why are we giving them outrageous attention, because they demand that of us? They demand outrageous salaries, more than any other profession in the entire country, and they get it...why???? When you pay them for advertisement, the products cost us more.
I don't believe a word a celebrity says and most people don't, so why us them in ads....stupid! We also prefer the cavemen...love those guys!

45. I think using everyday people for commercials is a great idea. I especially like the Publix commercial's with family get togethers. The newest one is really cute with a little boy saying he's awesome. I agree

46. When it comes to business and ads,you have to use your best.T -Mobil exclaims "Get more minutes" actually they should be saying "We give more minutes" that little difference in wording, would be the motivation for someone to be interested.Once you have their attention,show them why your the one.

47. We love "I can't believe it's not butter"; However, get rid of that long-haired fool in the commercial. He makes us sick every time he's on the screen!!

48. I liked Catherine Zeta-Jones' commercials until I saw her on an interview show making fun of people who talk to her about their cell phone service. She should save the ridicule for private conversations with Michael, and not air them in public. When you agree to take the money to "pitch" you should be willing to accept the fact that there will be naive consumers who think you actually are involved with your product.

49. I think all cell providers could spend a little less on advertising and a little more on service. Walk into a Sprint or Cingular store in Indy and you will take a number and stand four 2 - 3 hours waiting. I have a Romanian cell phone that has incredible reception, (in Romania), I can be in the middle of the mountains and call ANYONE, ANYWHERE on the planet and not get dropped! And in Romania, only the person making the call gets charged! In Indy I Have a completely dead spot right around a tower. On second thought,,,, maybe it is the ad person's fault,,,, it surely couldn't be anyone elses!

50. I would like to see commercials that do not insult the intelligence of the average viewer. Is it believable that Sprint would hire a family to test out the reaction of dad buying phones? Having actors that I have respected denegrate their own intelligence for GEICO? These are not products I would purchase if they feel so little about the intelligence of their consumers, I cannot respect the product.

51. OK, I CURRENTLY WORK FOR TMOBILE AND NUMBER 9 IS PROBABLY JUST BITTER THAT THEY COULDN'T MOVE UP IN THE COMPANY...JUST LIKE ANY CELL PHONE COMPANY T-MOBILE HAS IT'S PROBLEMS..CINGULAR HAS SOME PLACES THAT THAT LOWEST DROPPED CALLS THING JUST DOESN'T WORK OUT..IT DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHICH PROVIDER HAS THE MOST AND BEST SERVICE IN YOUR AREA..JUST LIKE THE PERSON THAT SAID VOICESTREAM SUCKS..I SPEAK WITH CUSTOMERS EVERY DAY WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US SINCE 98 AND LOVE THE SERVICE AND RECEPTION AND BECAUSE WE PROVIDE EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE...WE JUST WON OUR FOURTH J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATES AWARD FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE..AND T-MOBILE EMPLOYEES ARE TREATED VERY WELL...EXCELLENT BENEFITS AND CONSTANT OPPORTUNITIES TO MOVE UP...SO QUIT BEING BITTER NUMBER NINE THAT YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE ABILITIES JUST WEREN'T WHAT T-MOBILE WAS LOOKING FOR..

52. Like the gecko...don't use Geico. Have Sprint/Nextel...
all the cell companies seem to suck.

David, re: your assessment of the actress on Grey's Anatomy..."Jap skank"??? Shame on you. R U a WW2 era racist or something.

I HATE the commercials for id theft...H-A-T-E. They irritate my very soul. I can't get to the remote fast enough. Same for the Sprint commercial with the guy that sings...it was only ok once.

Generally, I dislike most commercials...very few that catch my attention or desire to ever see again. If I never saw another commercial ever, I would be eternally happy...get over it Madison Ave.

53. I think Catherine Zeta-Jones adds class to T-Mobile. It's not her fault that T-Mobile is going downhill. Not only does their phone sevice leave a lot to be desired (dropped calls, dead spots), but if you have ever tried to call them, the customer service is the worst. I know I am changing my phone service as soon as I possibly can and it has absolutely nothing to do with Catherine.

54. I think the trend is to go back to people who actually do commercials for a living, not just part time. I read somewhere that some cosmetic companies are going back to using models in their print and television ads instead of actors. Really, does it matter if a celebrity endorses a product? It is the product that counts and whether or not it stands up to the hype.

55. USE REGULAR CUSTOMERS OFF THE STREET FOR UNREHEARSED ANSWERS OF HOW THEY LIKE THEIR PHONE COMPANIES, SHOES, SHIRTS, COMPUTERS, COFFEE or WHATEVER! Maybe by keeping celebrities OFF advertisement, the companies can keep the cost of their product down!!! Gee, won't THAT be nice???

56. our entire household thinks that the AFLAC ADS ARE THE BEST ON TV. absolutely hate car commercials ( mute them) and thinks T mobil did the right think. we have long felt that she was a useless expense for them. a more creative idea would be better.

57. Who cares! Don't the celebrities make enough money?

Posted at 8:16AM on Sep 28th 2006 by Janet

58. I love the Aflack commercials with the duck...the expressions on that duck are priceless...and the best is the one with Yogi Berra at the barber shop....I just shake my head and grin at that one. However I don't know anyone that has Aflack insurance .

59. Jamie Lee was much better anyway....All Zeta-Jones did was say "Get More" with this stupid I'll try to look sexy stare!

60. I am so tired of all commercials. They take up and waste way too much time. The only thing I use commercials for is a quick trip to the restroom or to throw a load of laundry into the dryer. It really doesn't matter who the spokesperson is. All commercials are annoying and way over-played. And just for a point...if I am really annoyed at a commercial, I will boycott that product!!
