Creepy Teeth Commercials

[whereismynotecard]

Does anyone else think teeth-whitening commercials are the creepiest thing ever? First off, there will be some lady complaining about her horribly stained teeth (and while she's talking, we, the viewers, can see that her teeth look fine.) And then she'll use the whitening strips or whatever and go to some social function and everyone will be visibly impressed by her blindingly white teeth.

But that's not all. The people who star in these commercials always have huge mouths and they'll smile and it's just horrifying, because they end up looking like a cleaner version of the mouth of Sauron.

I think what you are noticing is the unnatural smile. They are being directed to intentionally smile in such a way that maximizes the sight of their teeth. Which is just not normal.

I generally find smiling with huge mouths all the time (hey, look at my $@#^&@! teeth) like their lives depend on it is creepy and freaky. I feel like it is one way, other than dancing, for one to make fool out of them selves. Kinda like bad acting. I prefer normal and gentle smiles. Kinda like the one on my avatar.

You think I'm weird?

Wait 'til you see the commercials for anal bleach.

Those advertisements are actually pretty mundane because they never show anything.

I think the advertising industry is one of Satan's crowning achievements, right up there with nuclear weapons and kiddie porn.

I'm not bothered by huge mouths. What is annoying is advertising expensive toothpastes and all of that done by actors dressed up for dentists. It's a lame marketing strategy based on the appeal to authority.

And many of their claims only apply to the extra strength formulations. Trust me.

Welcome back, Hannah. I remember you and Baggins from years ago.
Tooth whitening commercials...Meh.
What bugs me are food commercials with disgusting eating or crunching sounds.

Now that you mention it, he might have been scarier if he'd had freakishly white teeth.

It could always be worse.

before and after shots using Orks would probably be worth seeing if those whitening strips REALLY work.......
