Talking Thumbs Commercial: Cute or Nightmarish?

Maybe I just have very little patience for creepy gadget commercials, but I still have to say: What were these marketing people thinking putting faces on thumbs?! I get a cold shiver for every pair of faces that appear on rapidly typing thumbs, but maybe I'm just a baby. What do you think?

    lol it doesn't really bother me! But my mom was just saying that she can't even stand to watch this commercial, she has to look away or change the channel whenever it comes on.

    The thumbs bother me too. I thought I was the only one. They are a bit creepy.

    I agree, the commercial is creepy. The talking, texting thumbs just aren't right; however, I do laugh every time the commercial is on TV.

    maybe the creepiness would work if it was also really clever, but its just dumb and annoying.

    I thought the old Quizno's commercials with the dead singing rats things were freaky but this commercial with the thumbs saying shake your money maker takes the cake.

    i was totally just talking about this with buddies the other day!! i get what they are trying to get at with the texting like you talk or whatever...i also get that creepiness can work, hello burger king king. this, however, does not succeed....i'm surprised they didn't get bad like market testing results or whatever.

    I didn't even click on it; just thinking about that commercial makes me a little nauseous. ):

    I am so glad I am not the only one! Every time it comes on I look away. I HATE it. Not to mention that if you ignore the weird thumb/faces, the concept of what they are saying is idiotic. Ugh!

    I just find it annoying. Actually, AWKWARD. Everytime a commercial is really lame, I feel embarrassed.

    I'm so glad I'm not the only one that can't stand this commercial! I thought the faces were pretty gross. I don't think I'll be buying a samsung anytime soon.

    Totally gross. Every time one of these commercials starts, I change the channel. Lucky for the brand, I guess, because I have no clue what it's for. A phone, I'd imagine, but I really don't know.

    Eeek!
