The ad starts with his male host for the young boy’s sleepover party instructing everyone to SHUSH and be quiet as they sneak to the kitchen to fix themselves a late night snack. Then when the Tostino pizza rolls come out of the microwave, a dark curly-haired kid who is obviously a guest and who obviously can’t take direction and who obviously has to be the biggest pain in the you-know-what in his poor family and even neighborhood, yells "I LOVE THOSE TOSTINO PIZZA ROLLS!", probably waking up everybody in the house.
Now I’m sorry but this just tips the scale on my "Moronic Meter" when it comes to dumb and irritating ads. When it first came out, I didn’t mind it so much. But now they are airing in AD NAUSEUM and I hear this kid’s voice screaming in my house throughout the day and I JUST WANT TO STRANGLE HIM!
I am exagerating and yes, this is a bit of a rant. I’m not spewing on you, though. I’m just curious if you too have developed a burr under your hide for this dumb kid.
ohmygod i hate that little kid. did he just have to freakin’ yell it out like that? WHY?? i hope his friends gave him a wedgie and didn’t share the pizza rolls with him. haha

It really does….and, really, I’m not gonna buy pizza rolls on the basis of this ad. Reminds me of the West 49 commercial last year where kids were throwing tantrums because they hadn’t gotten what they wanted for Christmas. Okay, we get that kids can do this on their own and then we get that once they make the pizza rolls and try them they lose all impulse control and their lives turn into a party. How does that make what they’re selling good for someone who doesn’t want ultra-hyper little brats bouncing around in their kitchens?

i don’t think he bothers me quite as bad as he bothers you, but i agree that he is annoying, and every time i see the commercial my husband says…that kid needs his butt whipped.

Yes. Like you I am equally annoyed by the kid on that commercial! If I were the kid whose house they were in, I’d find a new friend. He clearly strikes me as the dummy in the group. The one whose always spoiling stuff for everybody.
Maybe we’re reading too much into commercials. Then again maybe the people in advertising need to find a better way to get us to eat Tostino’s pizza rolls……..

It’s not a pie hole. It’s a Tostino’s Pizza Rolls hole.

I have Guille-Barre and so I don’t pretend to understand all ads. However, when I saw that I wasn’t sure I understood what exactly happened in the commercial. I thought why did that boy say that. Then, I thought that is just part of advertising. However, it took me a moment to get there. I thought it was disjointed.
