It was a bad move, losing the commercials' most memorable feature just as Bob's was starting to move down into the New York metro area. Which immediately paid pop-culture dividends, incidentally: last season, Saturday Night Live did a sketch commercial for a chandelier store featuring a blonde-wigged Rachel Dratch doing a dead-on parody of Cathy's signature moves.
And so, in Bob's most recent series of ads, Cathy is back in all her self-conscious glory. In fact, in what I like to think is a small gift for us devoted fans, one ad features her awkwardly jumping backwards into a couch, only barely avoiding tumbling right off while accidentally flashing most of her left thigh as she tries to keep from doing a face plant on the studio floor.
God love that uncoordinated little spazz. Hey, Bob: always keep Cathy in your ads. Don't make me come down there and make jerky, unmotivated hand gestures at you. Together in the Power Bob Adjustable Bed. That said, I loathe that annoying irritating blonde woman and the fact that Bob tries to pass her off as his wife in those ads is pathetic. Annoying Bob should be sterilized I'm sick of sickos and the so-called enhancement methods they advertise. I don't need those. I don't think talking mattresses could ever be pitched as so-called enhancement.

It was a little over the top and campy, but that was just part of the theme of the commercials. Years later, the real-life Bob was replaced by a claymation-type Bob. OK, it was a little weird, but the recognizable voice of Bob was still heard. I always wondered why they made this move. If Bob was too busy to shoot the commercial, he still had to take time out of his day to lend his voice to his animated character, but hey, who am I to judge?
