I saw a recent thread about weight gain in movies a d on TV but I figured to ask if anyone's seen or can find a few commercials I remember seeing over the years. Most of them were actually weight loss ads but with a twist.

One was a doctor reading off a list of what the person they are weighing ate over the holidays and keeps pushing the scale bar up after each item.

Another was a closeup of some dudes belly at Thanksgiving dinner and he keeps saying "pass me this, pass me that" until the belly expands and a button flies off. The voice over says "could you pass my button?"

Another which I *think* was a Special K cereal commercial where a woman in a red bathrobe is bent over putting presents under a Christmas tree and a girl up the stairs goes "Santa!" before the canera pans to the woman's face looking miffed.

I vaguely remember one when I was a kid where a bunch of people are in front of opened presents and saying what they got for Christmas. One lady says "a big butt" and some guy goes "15 extra pounds".

I very clearly remember the Subway commercials from aboit 15 yesrs ago where this couple orders various things like "thunder thighs" "double chin" and "double blubber" at the drive-thru.

Last, there was a Friendlies commercial in the 90's where this gigantic sundae is placed in front of a woman and her eyes go bug eyed before we cut to the food itself being advertised. We cut back to a Violet Beuregard-esque round ball of the lady as her friends try to push her out the door to no avail.

Anyone remember these or have some of their own?

Look up Audrey's Dream from European Vacation, you'll thank me later.

New England meetups don't exist anymore. Everyone fun either moved, died or doesn't go to events anymore for various reasons.

It's a shame. There's a lot to do up in that area, not just bike week.

When a feedee says "hey I'm X weight now" saying "you need to be bigger" is such a d*ck thing to say unless theyve mentioned they like hearing it. It makes it sound like they're not good enough or you're never satisfied.

Most importantly no means no. Unless someone's into force feeding and pushing their limits, if someone says "stop" when they're stuffed, listen.

Also let them decide what they want to eat. I see all these dudes go "imma feed dese here weight gain shakes and they gonna get fatttt" and it's like, what if they don't want them? What if they don't want McDonald's, heavy cream, etc. Let them decide what they want.

Lastly, have some personality. Coming off as a creepy fetishist just looking for one thing is going to turn everyone off. At least pretend there's more to you than "how mush do u weigh can I feed u why u no answer"
