I’m a little worried about the T-Mobile Girl, you guys.
After almost two years of wearing cute pink dresses and sunnily shilling for the phone carrier, T-Mobile Girl Carly Foulkes is now being featured in a new spot titled “Alter Ego” where she trades all that in for a black and pink leather outfit and a motorcycle. Now, maybe this is just a rebellious streak or some sort of phase, but I think we need to take this seriously.
Do you think she started running with a bad crowd? Or maybe one of those older men she appeared with in the other commercials? I never trusted them, always looking at her the way a wolf looks at an unlocked chicken coop. IF ONE OF THOSE GOONS LAID A HAND ON HER, I SWEAR I’LL KILL HIM. DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN. SHE BETTER NOT COME BACK HERE PREGNANT. NOT IN MY HOUSE.
I’m sorry, I’ll settle down. It’s just a little upsetting seeing our sweet little T-Mobile Girl running around like acting like this, riding a motorcycle like some street hoodlum. You don’t think … no, it couldn’t be … … is it drugs? I mean, it’s been a little while since I took a high school health class, but if I remember correctly, abrupt changes in attitude and wardrobe are pretty big red flags. Oh God, it’s probably drugs. I bet she’s out there shooting goofballs between her toes and snorting cocaine off some immigrant’s penis. SHE’S THROWING HER FUTURE AWAY. WHAT ABOUT HER SCHOLARSHIP TO CORNELL?! SHE WAS GOING TO BE A VETERINARIAN, DAMMIT.
That’s it. I’m calling her guidance counselor.

I whole-heartedly enjoy this ludicrous commercial with the hot T-mobile girl.
On the other hand, after watching the NFL draft this weekend though, and seeing it 842 times, I wish everyone involved in the Droid RAZR commercial with the crying mom and daughter moving 4.2 mile away’s heads on pikes. Drawed and quartered. Something. I want someone to burn every shred of evidence that this commercial ever existed.
Agreed. Usually when I say that I want to “tickle” a particular mother-daughter combination, I mean it in a playful way. No so much here.
Actually, I reserve the lion’s share of the blame for the ad agency who conceived and directed the ad. They’re the ones who deserve the rat-bucket-fire treatment.
I DVR everything these days so I’ve only just now been subjected to that BS from a show I watched live. I’m behind you. Seeing that whiny, crying POS makes me want to hit myself in the ball in order to block it out.
That crying mom and daughter are terrible. Bring back Lisa. *NICE OUTFIT LISA*
I’ve wanted every single one of those cute pink dresses.
BRING BACK THE CUTE PINK DRESSES.
Next stop T-mobile porn
You know, I really am surprised they haven’t made “This Ain’t A Cell Phone Commercial XXX: A Porn Parody” considering one with pretty much every other popular commercial has already been made.

ol’ creepy arms/ finally hiding them i see.
Can we just turn this into a general ad-hating thread. Cause I’d like to take a moment to complain about the Corona ad where people who are at a concert imagine themselves at a concert on the beach instead. This is not quite as stupid as the snowboarding ad where the girl agrees that the “last run of the day” is her favorite (WHY BUY A FUCKING $90 LIFT TICKET IF YOU’RE SO THRILLED TO BE FINISHED? JUST STAY HOME AND DRINK!), but it is also pretty stupid. Concerts are fun. If they weren’t fun, you wouldn’t go. You don’t need to start imagining you’re somewhere else. If you’re gonna do that, just don’t go.
Get out of my head, Zack!
It just makes me sad. She was so cute in those dresses, but she doesn’t really have the swagger to pull off the motorcycle outfit. Also, what does “No more Mr. Nice Girl” mean?
Hi, I am mrejr8234, and I over-analyze commercials too.
When AT&T was going to buy T-Mobile I feared for the T-Mobile Girl’s future. Now I see she’s just throwing it away.
And here I thought T-Mobile Girl was special and unique, but now I see that she’s just like other hot girls: unstable and manic.
Not that I disapprove….
Next thing you know, she’s dating T-Pain
It all makes sense now! The “T” stands for “TUFF”, you guys!
Jeez, check out the apartment. Did she buy Stark Industries at 0? Is she the Pink Avenger or something? Hawking sell phones pays well.
I’ll just throw out that the music to this is DJ Shadow’s “I Gotta Rokk” from his latest album, ‘The Less You Know, The Better’.
…and my wife thinks I like watching this commercial because I’m a DJ Shadow fan…
She’s now the live-action version of the Esurance chick.
I would very much like to test drive America’s largest 4G network. I’m guessing it’s not what I think it is.
Ummm… what do you mean by rides a motorcycle “now”?
T-Mobile’s been using bikes in its campaign with her for over a year.

Alternate theory: EVIL TWIN.
Obviously, it’s not. No goatee.
Note to ladies: If your hair doesn’t bounce when you walk, you’re walking wrong.
I thought we had a few years before people started getting nostalgic about the “X-TREME” shit we went through in the nineties.
IDK MY BFF JILL?
I honestly don’t care what she wears, just as long as she stops wearing those hideous hipster skinny jeans that aren’t flattering to her body at all.
are you taking all this “,you guys.” stuff from Dadboner?
I WANT that Bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE…..
Loved her better in the cute dresses. Why did they feel the need to change her into a motorcycle chick?!! Why fix what wasn’t broken? I say bring back the cute dresses!!!!!
Stop the madness people… I for one will admit to being happy that they changed her look. Everyone has an alter ego, so I’m glad she let hers out to play. First and foremost, there are some women that would be all too excited to even fit into that leather race suit. Secondly, let’s admit it, the bike is hot and so is the paint job. What cracks me up even more is that anytime a guy see’s a girl on a motorcycle his alter ego “dumb a$$” comes out. You know the one that’ll try to talk to her while she’s FOCUSING ON THE ROAD, WHICH HE SHOULD BE DOING AS WELL. Or you get the ever so jealous female who’d love to be able to do the same, but since she can’t, she’ll be a “witch” and and try to cut you off. So I say go ahead T-Mobile and keep up the good work. Adding the addition of the motorcycle was an Awesome idea. B.T.W. Me and 8 of my girlfriends ride motorcycles as well as being T-Mobile Customers. We’re in suits 6am – 5pm.. Mom’s 24/7..In church dresses on Sundays, so we look forward to hanging up the suits and dresses and trading them in for leather bike suits, ripped jeans and t-shirts and yeap the ever so jeans and bikini tops. You only live once so ROCK OUT T-MOBILE BIKER CHICK!!!
After seeing her switch to a fast street bike, I’m now switching to T-Mobile.
Hoping next year she starts riding a dirt-bike in a pink string bikini so I’ll have a good reason to up grade my phone service again. Thanks T-Mobile!
I’d like to now see TMobilia in her pink dress on the motorcyle, the wind blowing her poofy skirt back against her chest and revealing the full length of those fabulous legs. Can we get a groundswell of support for that proposal and make it happen?
riding a motorcycle like some street hoodlum?? Excuse me I think it’s HOT. I ride a crotch rocket and I’m not a street hoodlum.. I’m a mom with 2 kids living in a house with a white picket fence. I totally resent that comment…
Amen LynnMarie, very well said!!!
