    Wiping your ass is a Democrat conspiracy to make you deprive your body of a critical microbiome that protects you from their propaganda.

    Am I wrong in believing that this whole TP advertising campaign was launched off of the idiom “does a bear shit in the woods?”

    As someone outside the US, and someone who hasn’t seen advertisements in a long, long time - outside of memes that make fun of the shittiest ones - what is this about? I am always curious about how ad culture evolves, and having a bear literally talking about his shit-encrusted ass, on television no less, would be a rather fascinating escalation of the more publicly shown ad-culture to take into account.

        Aw, a lot more tame than I expected. But I guess I understand why I’ve never heard of it, I’ve never seen that brand before in my life.

          The problem is over saturation IMO. I don’t know if it was a local channel thing but for a while it seemed every third advertisement was Charmin cartoon bears and their wiping habits. I really grew to loathe their mascot during that time.

      The bear wiping his ass on quilts has been a thing since the 2000s at least.

      It’s a play on an old saying "do bears shit in the woods?".

      At one time, humor was used a lot more in ads.

      Where do you live that you don’t see advertisements?

        Germany, don’t watch TV, have adblock on all devices - I guess I do still see advertisements on billboards when I go outside, but those are a bit different.

        Honestly between blockers, streaming and not watching or listening to mainstream sources it’s a rarity I see a commercial. Friends of mine mention them and I have no clue what they’re about and I live in the US.

      I was going to respond with the almost identical SNL skit, but I guess they must have taken it down. Some writer had clearly ripped off Haver’s video.

    It’s not nearly as bad as the YouTube commercial I keep seeing with someone trying to wipe chocolate pudding off a peach. It’s very… visceral. I have no idea what it’s for.

    I mean, it’s toilet paper. That’s the product. They try to make it as euphamistic as possible with the cutesy bears and colored water, but in the end, every toilet paper commercial is trying to sell you on their poop wipers.

    It’s no worse than the douche commercials we had to endure in the 70s and 80s:

      This is a lot worse, IMO, at least wiping your ass is a good idea - douching is just an all-around bad idea outside of very special circumstances.

        I got two bidet attachments for my terlet for $40. Still working fine after 6 years.
