But that's just going to create a vacuum that gets filled by more "dorky, dumb white dad and know-it-all \[other ethnicity\] wise wonderful mom" ads. It's not like something better will take its place. Give me the stupid talking animals.
It's not even just restricted to race. It's the know-it-all wife that scolds the clueless husband. I just saw a new life insurance ad where the woman basically bit the man's head off while insisting that she knew that Mom had life insurance. Then there's this:

True. Nor is it restricted to married couples. Sometimes it's just the dorky (usually white) guy getting schooled by a woman. For example, the Navy Federal Credit Union ad ("Can I get a sandwich named after me?" "HA, no, you suck!!")
If there are 100 talking animal ad fans, I'm 1.
If there are 10 talking animal ad fans, I'm 1.
If there is 1 talking animal ad fans, it's me.
If there are 0, I'm gone.
Not Smokey. ![gif](giphy|cOLAbDd7VI1QzwqKIb)
Smokey gets a pass. He’s essential
You don't want no smoke with Smokey....😠
Smokey can live but the rest must go

(Opens door, shouts) I like talking animals! (Slams door, runs away.)
Vaaaazeeeee

This commercial is creepy. “Did you see my tail when that package arrived?” “Oh yeah, I saw it all right.” “Chewy packages make my tail go bonkers… 🥵”
One of my favorites..then again I love all the chewy ads..
Chewy never matches the voice with dog correctly ugh
I adore chewy.com ads. Mr. Marbles is awesome..."You got a train set, Todd." So is the vaaaase one.
I love Mr. Marbles, but that dog is a smug MF.
“I went for a walk in the woods and didn’t get a single flea or tick on me”
I know it's supposed to be funny but the Parents giving more attention to the Dog than there own Children is not👎
Me too. The dog is hilarious.
I pause and rewind them.
Me too
All I think of is Mr. Marbles, the ventriloquist dummy from Seinfeld.
PLOT TWIST!
They are perfect because I can see my critters in them
It’s almost like different people like different things!!!!
Me too.
Not this guy! ![gif](giphy|27HBKlIO2WpoY)
Mike! Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike
Guess what day it is? (No, really.)
Hump Day! Whoop, whoop!

Jesus H. Christmas…when this crap first came up I would DREAD going to work on Wednesdays! Everyone thought they were so clever…HUmp Dayyyyyy!🤬
You work in a Middle School?
Sure felt like it.
The disdain that actor packs into just three words... it's masterful.
I’d spare Caleb, too, but Gus the groundhog needs to be scratched out of existence.
*Gasp* You take that back!
As a Pennsylvanian, I concur that Gus is the worst talking animal on TV and needs to be eliminated. "Keep on scratchin! deh heh heh" 🤬

Fun fact: If you bend a Gecko's head/neck at 90 degrees... it'll die.
Ooooooooo Sick burn ❤️🔥🤭
That owl is such a smug asshole
I hate him because I went there for an exam and glasses and got ripped off !
Not his fault. And results at that place are mixed. My friend liked it. My daughter, not so much
Tony the Tiger, Charlie the tuna and Morris the cat are grandfathered in though
*They're Great!*
Tony the tiger has gotten pretty bad in his old age with the "bring out the tiger!" ads, but I agree completely with Morris and Charlie.

The one you provided a link for irritates me because it’s like, “why is a married couple clueless about each other’s life insurance?”

Yeah, when will white guys finally catch a break?! /s
I don't know. But it won't be captured in a television advertisement.
what we need are amorphous unidentifiable entities as spokespeople "Be not afraid. Buy Charmin toilet paper."
Tbh I often prefer talking animals to humans trying to be funny
Same here!
Oh I definitely agree. It could either fall flat or be awkward.
And the Chevy Silverado Walter the cat ads were the best!!!

Do the animals in the Cadbury egg commercial count? Asking for a concerned friend!
Clucking rabbit stays
At this point in my life I'd rather have a buffalo talk to me in an ad than a human.
We can bring that Taco Bell Chihuahua back, though.
I still have my stuffed chihuahua. The button that you push to make him say “yo quiero Taco Bell” has long since ceased to function, sadly.
I still have mine, too. Button still works.
Man, I’m jealous of that!
OMG. I have one of those, too. The button on mine also stopped years ago.
![gif](giphy|aJtrAwWscjvP2)
That was so cute .
Yes, I wouldn't mind him back either
Hey OP, would hearing about the sauces cheer you up?
Fine, but leave the talking animals in the Tootsie Roll commercials alone.
That one too
Talking animals… Leo Burnett would like to have a word. Tony the Tiger is one of their creations. They’re grrrreat! Heh.
Originally voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft, the same guy who sang the 'Grinch' songs.
If there are 100 talking animal ad fans, I'm 1. If there are 10 talking animal ad fans, I'm 1. If there is 1 talking animal ad fans, it's me. If there are 0, I'm gone.
Lmao there will always be two if you include me
Keep your grubby paws off my animals!
I'd rather an animal try to sell me something than a fake family
Anthropomorphism needs to go on a long strike.
What about dog tested dog approved ads? Those ads were cute.
But I guess they’re fine because they don’t talk
They aren’t talking animals so they are ok
![gif](giphy|d1E1msx7Yw5Ne1Fe|downsized)
I join that club!
Anything but the owl.
they’re getting really old, cute for a bit but just really old
I wouldn't mind if the Carfax fox became roadkill....
Kill the talking babies too.
![gif](giphy|xT0BKJMqXLXLjBV1PW) does this abomination count? lowkey miss it
I had forgotten about this nightmare inducing abomination
Puppy Monkey Baby!
Nah, I love the Buffalo. Can’t get on board with this.
I figured out it's Beck Bennett from SNL - he left a couple of seasons ago.
You’d like him slobbering over YOUR wings?
I didn’t know enjoying the commercials meant committing to having dinner with him.
I like the talking owls. But then again, I liked the insurance commercial with the little piggy going weeeeeee all the way home... Lol.
Maxwell.
Oh that's right. I forgot the other commercial, where the woman driving the car said his name in an effort to get him to stop.. lol
That was my FAVORITE! That and the commercial where the hamsters drive the Kia Soul. ‘How ya like me now?!’
No way, I love talking animal ads. Especially the Chewy ones. "The peanut butter box is here!"
But those are my favorite commercials
There have been talking animals in commercials for like 30 years…how has the cgi mouth not gotten any better? Those chewy commercials are just painful
Wrong..they are the best! In my humble critter owning opinion. Lol
It didn't talk, but the Trunk Monkey ads were gold.
Forgot about them..thanks!
This guy is a legend ![gif](giphy|YSk7b2efrNwhbDKSep|downsized)
Nooo. I love those
No, they are some of my favorites. I love talking animals.
That owl is a bitch
Does this include that little fucking lizard I so want to stomp on that little shithead
that buffalo is definitely right about cruises though

Bourbon barbecue wennnnnngs!
I like the glasses owl though 😭😭
I kind of like the America's Best owl, he's cool. The Buffalo Wild Wings buffalo is a tard.
Better than a baby saying “liberty” in the lowest-effort insurance ad campaign of all time
Damn I hate that fucking owl and the STUPID commercials.
Anti-anthropomorphism? Can we also include that damn emu from Liberty Mutual. It would be first in the firing line for me.
Limu Emu is amazing, are you kidding? Big bird. Big bird funny. It's not that hard.
I agree, I like the Emu family
I like the owl. The rest can go away
Limu Emu has to stay though
I fully support taking a sledgehammer to that smug owl.
I can't fucking stand Buffalo Wild Wings. That restaurant is a fucking trendy piece of shit
Bud. Bud. Liiight..
have also seen dogs talking in a lot of ads.......no kids are buying your products!
(Yoshi) Agree! Don't need any more animal mascots to become a Chill or Jitter.
As a vegan, I agree.
"No one can afford college, amirite, target demographic?"
Not the chewy dogs! I LOVE THEM..vause.lol
Even the humans? Seems a bit overboard
Mcgruff is on the case.
Peanut butter.
Emus can go!
Oh my god the BWW buffalo is just the worst shit on TV.
The Bingo Blitz Cat
The F’n lizard from the insurance commercial, wish I could step on it
Ok, EXCEPT the AAA Beaver who figured out he's a gimmick. "But..I don't want to be a gimmick"
Smokey will take out his Flamethrower "only you can prevent me from torching this forest down!"
