It was with a great deal of satisfaction that I heard on the news last night that we have seen the last of ol' Smilin' Bob from the Enzyte commercials. For those of you who are unfamiliar with these commercials, they were pushing a male enhancement drug. I found them to be in the poorest of taste. Well, it seems that they were also found to be fraudulent and there were other charges levied against them. So, I'm a happy camper knowing that I won't have to see Smilin' Bob's face on my TV screen again. What are your thoughts on these kinds of ads? Do you find them to be in poor taste?

I am so happy to see 'Smilin Bob' gone for good. I change the channel everytime one of these male enhancement commercials come on. Enough is Enough already.
If someone has an male enhancement problem, it might be a wiser choice to see their doctor instead of letting 'Bob' advise them.
Good Ridance.

I am glad he is gone too, though I wonder when, cause I just saw his commercial,
the commercial didn't make sense to me,
he could be smilin but those ditzy women, give me a break

Smilin' Bob didn't offend me. i never gave him my full attention.I did like the Christmas commerical though.I found it funny.But all the others I didn't really pay that much attention to.

Well, sarah, he was still smiling as of last night. I suppose it will take some time for them to stop showing the commercials.

I'm sure, jillhill, that there are many of us who will not mark his absence in any way.

Yes, Feona, they could have added stupidity to the list of objections.

I found that commercial to not only be in poor taste but also to be insulting to my intelligence. Good riddance.

I would say, GG, that you are right on both counts, lol.
