….somewhere along the line, it became standard marketing procedure to have pictures of healthy, happy people paired with your product at all times… Preferrably, they should appear to have been told the funniest joke ever, and are just now getting back their breath…
I thought it’d be interesting to visit some websites, grab some of their images, and see how close you could come to correctly guessing what company wanted to use these images to put you at ease that they, too, are always up for a good time:

 |
|
#1:
So funny, they’re laughing days later |
#2:
SILLY cameraman!! |
 |
 |
|
#3:
"Best YouTube video EVER!" |
#4:
I just LOOOOOVE how you make me laugh, honey… |
 |
 |
|
#5:
The punchline gave her that fresh clean feeling… |
#6:
You’ll understand when you grow up, Jimmy… |
1. Is that Steve Nash? Because if it is I would be smiling too! Crest whitestrips….or did he just use one of those male enhancement pills?
2. I’m not sure what this one is for, but that other girl really looks like she wants to kick the crap out of the other one. Great clips?
3. they probably just figured out how to upload their sex videotape. Some bank commercial?
4. This has to be for viagra or cialis or one of those.
5. I bet she just realized that there is a pill to deal with her herpes! Valtrex!
6. I got nothing for this…..another cialis or viagra?

You need to get some of the Bosley Hair guys up there.

Not sure who the Bosley Hair guys are… Any guesses for the pics above, in the meantime??…
Also, all of Jamie’s guesses were incorrect…. I’ll give it another few more days…

This is impossible! Where are my hints at??

We give! Give us answers

Ok ok ok ok….Here are the answers!!
#1: Halls Cough Drops!!! Yep, this was one of the pics that got me started on all this in the first place.
#2: Glidden Paint!! I was thinking of things that required no meaning or connotation loaded into them. Something as bluntly utilitarian as PAINT. Someone out there decides on which paint to use because that choice might actually lead to some family fun.
#3: Century 21 Real Estate!! I mean really. WHO ELSE is gonna make you smile warmly, TOGETHER, while you look for a new home?? Nobody. No point in even looking for another realtor.
#4: Aetna Health Insurance!!! What? You’ve never exchanged knowing, lingering looks-of-love with your spouse while deciding who gets the honor of collecting your premium payments??
#5: Halls Cough Drops!!! I mostly work alone, and I’ll tell you: sometimes the wave of mentholated ecstasy DOES make me forget all my troubles and just revel in the good vibes. It’s vaguely innocent, and yeah a bit self-indulgent, but I’ve come a long way, baby!!!!
#6: Church of Latter Day Saints (not sure I’m remembering the correct denominational nomenclature here)!!!! This was the image they chose to reflect the Mormons’ collective ability to overcome extra-marital affairs. He presumably cheated on her, or vice versa, but a sit-down by the fire with The Book of Mormon cleared up the minor misunderstanding and now they can laugh at Everybody Loves Raymond again.
