I don't like the charmin bears because the main advertising point seems to be that bears have hairy asses and use charmin because charmin apparently doesn't leave dingleberries on your hairy ass.
I have dubbed them the dingle bears.
I consider this unpleasant marketing, so I buy a different brand. Of course I haven't watched a tv commercial in over a decade so maybe things have changed.
It's actually a lot less obnoxious than the long-running campaign that it replaced.
They used to have an old shopkeeper named Mr Whipple who would get very upset over women who squeezed the Charmin. Like that's all we fucking live for, is squeezing toilet paper to see if it's soft enough the same way you'd knock on a melon to see if it's ripe. "Please don't squeeze the Charmin" was their motto, and also the warcry of annoying children everywhere.
I think it's part of the TikTok trend of "I'm not interesting enough to hold your attention, so here's a distraction for your underdeveloped zoomer brains"
You see the same on YouTube shorts or those reading Reddit articles where it's usually GTA, racing or Minecraft footage in the background as there's narration.
It's not just short attention span, it's their content isn't engaging at all when you consider cooking shorts are very popular and they're just cooking.
I remember seeing tons of videos like 10+ years ago where it'd just be some guy ranting aimlessly into a microphone while Counter Strike or Calladuty footage played in the background. At first I thought they were captures from streams or something until I realized that no, they're literally just playing their voice over a completely unrelated video game to make it seem more interesting.
It quickly became a litmus test for people whose opinions are very boring and unnecessary.
He's mad because the bear from the original commercial went from being an unga-bunga savage shitting in the woods, to a happily married suburbanite.
If it's on TikTok, it's mentally ill.
I was hoping "Woke_Karen (he/him)" was a troll...but it seems to be genuine.
To be fair, those ads piss me off too...but all ads piss me off, so it's a moot point.
And one or two of the comments are amusing:

I know about this from "Dare to be Stupid", but I've never seen the ads.
Oh, yeah, the upshot was that he couldn't resist squeezing the stuff himself:

Put your head in a microwave and give yourself a tan!
What’s with the pie?

I was really hoping it wouldn’t be something THAT retarded. I feel very old, now.
