Dog House Jewelry Commercials
Doghouse Commercials - Be Smart Guys! Don't Buy Dumb Gifts
The two videos below were a very clever way to market jewelry by J.C. Penny.
Be sure to watch both. I was sent to the dog house to fold laundry the second year I was married.
I thought a clothes hamper was a great gift idea for Christmas instead of using a plastic basket.
"Stupid stupid stupid!"
PRO TIP: For the most laughter, be sure to pay attention to how much hair Donnie has in the video clip that plays during his review board session.
Video #1 - Watch this one first:
Watch Video #2 next:
These videos are featured in all my AsktheBuilder.com newsletters in the days before Christmas. Here's a list of them:

OUTRAGIOUSLY FUNNY!... to damn bad it is TRUE!! We have a tiny poodle... who does not like to share her dog house with me....
the problem is that I would be happy with a hammer drill for Christmas. I like usable practical gifts but he likes to buy me earnings and stuff that I would not buy for myself. Gotta love him.
Joy,
You need to leave out a note on the kitchen counter on St. Nicholas Day. Remember, most of us men are clueless and we need HELP with ideas.
I smell a rat. This has got to be fake news. Joy must be short for Joseph or Jonathan. Grin.
Sexist, sexist, sexist. Is that all women are good for is receiving baubles (a la JC Penney)? My wife loves crafts, books, technology, and other intellectual pursuits. Wouldn't know where to put another ornament.
David,
I think you completely missed what Donnie said starting at 1:28 in the video. You better go back and watch it again and turn up the volume.
And you do realize this was a web commercial for JC Penny to sell *jewelry*, right?????
I did listen carefully, again. My reaction was to the cultural stereotypes reinforced by the retail jewelry industry, which give many men the impression that women's interests gravitate toward the less cognitive.
David,
Heavy sigh...... Uh, what about the women that LOVE jewelry? I think you're being very offensive to the WOMEN that are SMART - most of them - that happen to LIKE jewelry.
I'm pretty certain it's a very large industry and there's a reason for this.
I also think you probably have some of Julius Caesar's blood in you - "Divide and conquer!"
You may want to get one of those saliva kits from ancestry.com.
:-O
And you may want to think twice about layering your ideology and thoughts across the entire spectrum of women and men.
I also think you should have your humor meter checked. Something tells me it's out of calibration.
Tim, I'm one of those weird women who would prefer something much more intellectual or practical than jewelry, but I still thought the doghouse videos were clever and very funny. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Sandy,
You're not weird at all!!! My wife HATES jewelry. Maggie, one of my newsletter subscribers, replied to me that she loves tools and her husband is smart enough to give her those on special occasions or just to be nice.
Everyone likes different things and my guess is there are some that might want a hand-carved doll, but I can't think of who that might be right now.
Thanks for commenting!
Thanks for sharing. Truly True & Hilarious!
The video's are clues for the clueless.
My wife doesn't like a lot of jewelry but loved the videos. Thanks for the laughs, Tim, now get back to building the daughter's home
One year my mom told my dad that she was going to need a new iron because the one they had was leaking. My dad said "OK, I'll get you one for your birthday." Well, dad's birthday was in mid-April and mom's was at the end of April. Imagine my dad's surprise when he opened his birthday gift and received a brand new iron! As he sat there with a puzzled look on his face, mom said "why would I want an iron for my birthday when I only use it to iron your shirts?" Needless to say, mom never got another appliance as a gift.
Tim -
These are GREAT! Loved 'em - thanks and
Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy New Year !
One Xmas my mom wanted a tv. Then when the box was unwrapped it the lid said TV, but when she opened it up pop a standing fan. Needless to say she wasn' t a happy camper, but she did use the fan for years after that & as for a TV, she won one at a school raffle.
Nice sales pitch to promote bigger spending. Some humor, but also reminds one of how we live with all the political correctness and affirmative action and how women are supposedly treated so unfairly yet in realty they are very domineering and many men crumble at their feet. Many years ago, may have been more a balance of power when men made the money, but now women get the better jobs just because they are women (our leftist run society). Now men are surely second class citizens. And some women may really appreciate a nice vacuum cleaner, especially if it is a luxury due to a high price and low income.
I stay single to avoid female domination. They can abuse a guy all they want and if he complains, he is called a wimp. And if the pressure finally gets to him and he gives her a shove, off to jail, kicked out of the house, loss of gun rights, etc. So in short, those really aren't funny to me at all.
Hey Tim, can’t believe I never saw these treasures! I know you’re a master builder, but can you fix a split side
Perfect! Loved the videos. Thanks, Tim!
