TUFF Puppy and better cartoons

Spongebob, Rugrats, Doug, Hey Arnold. These were some of my favorite cartoons when I was little and they are all gone (well maybe not Spongebob) but you know what I mean. There have been very horrible cartoons to come ever since. But I've noticed a new cartoon that I actually like. It's actually funny, and if stays for a little while longer, maybe they'll make better new cartoons just like that, but I have doubt on that.

The cartoon is called: TUFF Puppy. It's like Get Smart with a dog and a cat fighting crime. The creator of this show also created Fairly OddParents (which is pretty good) and Danny Phantom (Thank god that got canceled) The dog (voiced by iCarly's brother Jerry Trainor) is in a group called TUFF Agency and he solves crimes, caused by either a retarded Rat from his team DOOM, a chameleon who needs to buy better glasses, and a bird should have been extincted long ago. It seems to be pretty good so far, funny sometimes, but I'd give it a thumbs up. I mean watching Nick today is impossible. Barley any good shows on anymore (except for: Sponogebob, those funny penguins and iCarly) Now this show is on my 'will watch on nick' list. I even had an episode idea for this show staring iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove as a puppy [who is actually built by that rat] to not only place a bomb at TUFF headquarters, but to also be Dudley (the dog's) number one fan.
Well that's all I wanted to post for no. Try to stay warm and Ciao bloggers!

My least favorite commercials

Watched a lot of TV in my life, and I've seen a lot of horrible commercials. Some don't even make sense and some just don't mention the product at all.

One commercial I can't stand is those big hamsters in the car commercial that keep saying "you can get with this, or you can get with that." I don't understand why they have to be hamsters. They couldn't use real people?
Mostly the commercials I like are those Geico commercials. Don't get me wrong, the gecko is cute but the cave men and the money with eyes, that is just plain wrong.
Mostly it's car commercials that are weird. I bet some people the Joe Izsusu guy in the old 1980's commercials. Even some fast food commercials don't make sense. Now a days they are just promoting healthy habits, but once u step in step inside, it's not what it will look like on TV.

If you put real food in front of a hot light, it would either melt or burn, so they use faux food, food that looks real, but nothing like the real thing.


Some other commercials I can't stand is commercials that have annoying kids in it like (yes this is another car commercial) that kid with the curly hair who says he feels embarrassed for other kids that ride in lame cars and he isn't.
Another commercial with annoying kids in it is those new Kraft Mac and Cheese commercials where the kid exclaims that they don't like how their mac and cheese products are aiming towards adults. So what, get a life kids. But I shouldn't blame them, it's Kraft that's making them say it. Kraft also has really horrid commercials. Claiming their kraft single cheese has enough calcium as a glass of milk. Try for yourself and see how it really taste. I have, and it is not good.

Sometimes, some commercials try to compete with other i.e. coke vs Pepsi, McDonald vs burger king and even some infomercials that take on other infomercials for no reason.


There are some bad commercials, but I think they might just be trying too hard, and others just don't have marketing staff, so they go for the least common denominator. Some commercials are good like those funny super bowl commercials we see every year. (That might be the only reason I watch the super bowl because of those commercials) I guess some of my favorite commercials are the ones that don't have to try so hard and make a point as well like commercials that actually make sense or kinds that make u laugh a little like those funny Aflac commercials or the commercials about those vikings that go everywhere because of their capital one cards "What's in your wallet"
Sometimes it's the slogans that depend on the commercials. And slogans change them many times. Like McDonalds or just recently KFC got a new slogan which I'm not fond of calling their food "G-OO-D good" Not the slogan I would prefer.

That's all I wanted to blog about for now. Till then Caio Bloggers, and don't believe in everything you see on TV. :)
