Have you seen these commercials for Rozerem, the new sleep aid pill?
They feature an insomniac man who enters his kitchen to find a chess set on the table, Abraham Lincoln, a talking beaver and a strange figure that is either a deep sea diver or space alien with its back to us, over near the stove.
There is talk about how insomnia plagues so many people and how the man isn’t dreaming, thus not visiting Abe and the beaver (who is eating from a plate using a fork).
I’m assuming the beaver is a metaphor for sex, but maybe that’s just me. LOL
But frankly, if you’re dreaming about Abraham Lincoln, talking mammals who use cutlery and unknown creatures cooking in your kitchen, all wanting to capture your queen, I think you’ve got bigger problems than a sleeping pill is gonna fix.
Have a great weekend, y’all!

And Marti, what would Sigmund Freud think of your analogies? Do you find Abe’s “stove pipe hat” to be a counterpart to the “beaver with cutlery”? HA! I better stop now or I’ll hog this whole comment section. Marti, have a good one. Hopefully, you can make it through this weekend without any car troubles.

Good analogy, Marti.
I saw this commercial the other night and have to admit that it was rather creepy.

I thought that was “The Creature From The Black Lagoon” or the character Lou Gossett played in “Enemy Mine” doing dishes in the sink…I actually enjoyed the advert simply because it IS different that the run of the mill crap they offer us most of the time.

I thought those ads were pretty weird, too. Plus, I tried that drug and it didn’t work for me. My doctor says that it doesn’t work for a lot of people.

I LIKE that commercial! It must be really trippy to be in advertising these days, no, like really ‘trippy’ since those people must be doing some drugs to come up with the stuff they do! Of course, since we all have access to the ever-present MUTE button, they MUST come up with things that will capture our attention, pique our interest, keep out butts in our chairs instead of headed for the kitchen. There is the german cool guy in those Volkswagon commericals. The Skiddles commerical that plays before the movies at the theatre is an all time fav of mine: the one with the sheep-boys? LOVE it! Ahhh, there is too many to remember and it is too late for my brain to sort them out BUT it must be pretty fun to be in advertising these days.

If I start dreaming about that stuff I am going to stay awake forever.

I thought Abe freed the beaver. Or was it otter? No, it was beaver, all right. Was the thing that forked you.

Well, I think you are right about beavers and sex. I do think sex is a good form of sleeping pills. It works for me if I cant sleep!

I hope my comment is not swallowed

OK, I’m missing out. I havent’ saw this commercial!

I think Abe represents money.
