Better still, what sort of mother ENCOURAGES it by trying to make her son's room smell good for them?
 
I can see the ad campaign for kids now. "Convince your mother to use Fabreeze and YOU TOO can have hotties in your room!"
Wait, what?

Well, the girls showed up with a few of their male friends, but they're in Mom's room smelling her Febreeze freshness.

I always just figured they were there to work on a school project or something. There's no way girls would go over to that lame-o's house unless they had to.

If that kid's room smells so bad, then it actually needs to be cleaned. That Febreeze is just covering up whatever rotting nightmare he's hiding in there.

See my username. You can tell how much I appreciate this commercial.

The dubbing sucks, the people are annoying, and why in the world would some girls go to this %$^&'s house?

Just found this website looking for other people who hate that Babybel woman. Someone needs to donate some serious money to a dentist to get her teeth fixed.

Anyways, I just saw this commercial on tv again. Every time I see it, I have this incredible urge to kill.

First off, who the hell 'washes' a room? In all my years I've never taken a hose to the entire room to get rid of a smell.

Second, where the hell do they get these actors? Who actually believes that the fugly kid even knows what a $%#@! is? The girls.. good god. I've seen some ugly women in my life, but I damn near threw up the first time I saw these kids.

Third, who the $%#$ writes the scripts for these idiotic commercials? "You know, I like to keep it.." Huh? The kid's probably a d- average at best student.. damn near sounds like he's an illiterate bastard who can barely read from the cue cards.. who's going to believe his gay ass is studying?

Welcome.  There is a thread for the commercial you were originally looking for.  BTW, I hate it too.

No kidding?  I never would've thought of that:)  I've got two big dogs that despite being clean and doing their thing out in the backyard their room always smells like dog (even after shampooing the rug twice in our previous house).  We've been using one of those air fresheners that you mount on the wall and periodically spray a subtle lavender vanilla scent.  It seemed to cover the smell up pretty well without being overly perfumy and I didn't notice the dog smell until we'd run out of the spray so it kinda works:)  I'll have to try the vinegar rag sometime though.

Curtains? Really!?...the curtains stink? Are we to assume he's been wiping his ass on them? or sitting all funky in the chair? ...the chair that moves around from the end of the bed to against the wall to out from the wall in another area? She couldn't just spray it where it was without moving it around the room?

And I just noticed her bra is totally visible through that shirt, especially in the beginning. Dunno why I never noticed that.

Why couldn't they use normal smelly ideas like...I dunno...having clothes all around the room or gym bags and sneakers on the floor? You know, normal kid smelly things. Nope. Curtains! "WOAH!"

I know boys rooms probably do stink from leftovers on dishes stuffed under the bed or drawers, sweaty clothes, stinky socks, dirty undies and smelly gym shoes all left around.  Who knows what's rotting in his trash bin in his room, last month's pizza leftovers?  Who knows if he ever opens the windows so any fabrics are going to retain his stinkiness....Dead  But all that said I cannot just pick on boys...a g/f in high school was just as bad!
 
Febreeze does just cover up funk.  But I need to buy some because my mom lost some deli lunchmeat in the backseat of my car which rolled under the seat and after 3 weeks began to brew...oh my it's like Limburger in there....I just found it last night...used Carpet cleaner twice..will try febreeze..if that doesn't do it...the Car Wash and the steam cleaner carpet guy will have to work magic again.  Last year a huge jar of old pickled herrings broke in the front seat floor area (was going to dispose of it...was mommy dearest's as well)...oh my god...that was horrid...he did the trick with steam cleaning..thank god!

I don't usually Google commercials, but the kids voice in that commercial is one of the most irritating on TV!  Second that to Sister Mary Katherine and the elevator chick in the 1 800 Dentist commercials and we have an unholy triad!

Did you notice how when mom whips out the Febreeze bottle the kid goes "Whoa!"
Just the sight of the bottle impressed the hell out of him. Damned  easy to dazzle if
you ask me.

This scenario would make a great set up for another commercial about a product that actually WASHED things-- like a steam cleaner or laundry detergent:
 
The lazy teen is trying "clean" his crap with Febreze and the smart Mom shows him how to actually sanitize his dirt encrusted belongings.

Nah, he probably had some other friends over and they all had a farting contest. "Duuude, good one! Those curtains blew like the house was hit by a hurricane or somethin!  "

What's up with the dubbing in that commercial? Better yet why would it need dubbed? Were the actors they had so damn lousy at doing their lines they needed voiceovers? I understand you're not getting A list actors to do commercials unless you pay them far out the ass but I'm pretty sure a company like Febreeze has the bucks to pay their ad guys to find someone who can at least not sound like they flipped through the script in their car coming to the studio.

Hmmm...hope she has an extra bottle for later.

I hate this commercial but never really noticed the dubbing, and after watching the youtube vid of it, I still don't quite detect the voice dubbing.  But there's so much to hate on it besides that anyway.  My brother's bedroom when we were teens stunk, but thats because he left his sweaty boxers and socks just sitting in the corner for days on end.  This kid's room actually looks clean, so I don't get the smell.  And febreeze really sucks at getting odors out, trust me!  I've not been a fan of the product ever since my mom was able to smell weed in my car when I was 19.  And I had sprayed like half a bottle of that crap all over the place thinking I was "washing" away the evidence of my pot party..but I digress.

Furthermore, I hate that the boy has 2 girls coming to hang out w/ him in his room.  I'm only in my mid 20s but no, that won't fly w/ my future children.  And mom is like this kids pimp basically, with how she hooked him up w/ a clean fresh smelling room.  I even hate the stupid "da da da DA da da da DA" singing!  Ugh!
