??!! Mucus: Now 50 Times More Adorable!

Posted by on April 11 at 12:34 PM

As regular Last Days readers are aware, I have some serious problems with Mucinex’s use of anthropomorphic mucus in their television commercials. It was bad enough when the ads centered on just one walking, talking mucus wad—who looks and acts suspiciously like Danny DeVito—and things got worse when Mr. Mucus took a bride. (Snot can get married but gays can’t?)

Naturally, Mr. and Mrs. Mucus started a family, and today brought a plush novelty version of the Mucus family’s beloved son to my desk.

Now I can stare at the snotty offspring of mucus all day long, and give him a squeeze whenever I’m feeling jittery.

Speaking of squeezing things, the Boy Mucus doll was accompanied by a stuffy nose key chain, which, when squeezed, produces a snot-like goo.

Thank you, Mucinex, for fulfilling a variety of novelty mucus needs I didn’t know I had. Next on my wish list: A blow-up sex doll version of that horny Nasonex bee.

(Thanks to Joe Joe for the swag, and to Kelly O for the photos and finger-modeling.)

OMG, that key chain rules. I'll give you $10 for it!

oooohhh. .. I'd go for the nasonex bee too. . .he sounds like THE sexy Antonio Banderas!

It is Antonio. I'd know that Spanish accent anywhere. It's tattooed on the back of my brain.

I thought I was alone in my horrified reaction to those disgusting commercials. The swag is funny though, heh.

5

Dang it. I thought that was Ricardo Montalban.

What about the MilDigCable Fish...do they annoy the beejesus out of anyone else?

7

um, bummer, the snot in the pic of the keychain is LESS green than it is in reality! so gross!

On the topic of anthropomorphic drug company swag, I give you The Fleet EneMan. The reps brought the kitschy, adorable Eneman ornaments in every year before Christmas in the gastroenterology practice where I used to work. (Those aren't my pictures - my Eneman ornament is packed away with the rest of the Christmas decorations.)

@6: Good god but I hate those fish. The thing is, I do want digital cable, but I have to turn my mind blank when they come on or I will go more insane than I already am. I don't know how bad jokes by animated fish can cause such soul-destroying evil.

I do want a snotty Mucinex nose -- I might look on eBay -- which is far, far from Chesapeake Bay, you vile, fascist fish!
