The description of the forum on the main page is "Keep seeing the same actors over and over in the ads you hate?"

When I first noticed this forum awhile back, I assumed from the topics I was reading that is was about actors/actresses who are appearing in commercials for different products around the same time.

More recent topics have talked about Flo and the Wendy's redhead, both of whom I've only seen in multiple commercials for the same product. In Flo's case, way too many commercials.

(And I don't care what anyone says. I like Morgan Smith Goodwin.)

So which is it?

^ Yeah, really.  That's the way normal talk happens, so I guess there's no reason to expect it to be different when the talk is typed.
 
CIH used to have a lotta different categories.  For whatever reasons (lack of popularity, mostly, I assume), they no longer exist.
 
For a look at the forum circa 2007...
 
 
Anyway, a repeat offender is someone who keeps showing up in different commercials...usually for different products.
 
I've been trying to find out more about this repeat offender (the red-haired woman), who I've seen in a Rent-a-Center commercial, a Progressive commercial, a Pepto-Bismol commercial and another one (can't remember the product at the moment).  When I find more videos, I'll post them.

I always thought it had to do with commercials that relied on overused gimmicks, like the "dumb daddy" routine or the bratty, misbehaving kid who we're supposed to think is cute, etc.

This is the first time I've ever posted in this forum, actually.

I think it's the first time I've ever even entered it.
