It was really great to see both ads in one block, especially since the Applebee's spot was featuring meatballs stuffed with provolone cheese. When Shrek 2 was coming out there were plans to use Shrek in healthy eating/fitness PSAs for kids until they realized that using the same mascot that was plastered on just about every piece of junk food in existence was going to send a mixed message.

How much do you wanna bet this character will be spun into a long running series like Glade's "Glah-DAY" lady?

It'll be $6.50 cuz they charge a whole buck fitty for avocado on a footlong, the fuckers.

I'm not normally one to read too much into commercials, but the BMW commercial where the girl switches to diesel really bugs me. It's set up as she bought the car because she needs more excitement, and yet it's her boyfriend/husband who actually drives it while she sort of flinches in the passenger seat. It's like they brush against the concept of her being a modern woman but the execs didn't think people would accept the man as the passenger.

I can accept that if someone were installing an air conditioner, it could possibly slip and fall out to land in a car below. I can also accept that if you open your car door on a narrow street, a passing vehicle might be driving too close, and smack into your door, thus ripping it off it's hinges. Same for maybe forgetting to put the emergency brake on, when parking on a steep slope; or a truck backing into another vehicle, and the driver not giving a gently caress. But why in the hell did you decide to cut down a overhanging tree branch that stretches over your neighbor's driveway, and especially why did you do this dumb thing while his car was parked there? Not because you are "only human". You are literally loving retarded. Only a developmentally disabled individual would do this.

Old Spice- their commercials just don't do it for me anymore. Their hair product commercials, where the hair crawls off the guy's head, are creepy to boot. Dish Network- nobody wanted your substandard satellite TV service even before you had people with ear-grating Boston accents repeating "Hopper" a hundred times.

This commercial has been driving me mad for months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMkQbwpvKzo She says she hasn't cleaned the catbox in TWO weeks. Then they show this tiny Booda litter box. Dear lord. I try to comfort myself by reminding myself it probably isn't real and they just picked an arbitrary number or something. AND the drat thing looks like its right in front of the kitchenette counter. But lately they've been showing it with the "two weeks" part edited out, so it makes me wonder if they got complaints. So loving gross to even think about. Poor cat. (I hope there's only one anyway) Bonapartisan fucked around with this message at 06:39 on Feb 27, 2014 |

I don't know why anyone would be shocked that a person is an irresponsible pet owner. Watch any number of dog/cat expert shows helping people and you'll quickly realize that common sense stuff such as 'feed your pet, play with your pet and clean up after your pet' is beyond some people. People think since they had a pet as a child (which was probably taken care of by their parents) they know how to have one now that they're grown and look at that they don't know the first thing about being responsible for an animal.

Those shows are scripted, staged, and skewed for maximum artificial drama. Just like any other "reality" show. "My cat is picky and only poops in a fresh box, so I have to clean/check it 5-6 times a day" turns into "My cat poops outside the box because I didn't know that litter boxes do not magically clean themselves. Thank you Mr. Cat whisperer, you saved my home, my marriage, and most importantly my relationship with my pet" :cue tears and hugs:

No poo poo but you should watch an episode and see how inept people are, you can only skew it so much when its an animal, if its acting out its for a reason and mostly its (suprise) people are dumb and dont know what they're doing. And I know people in real life who dont know poo poo about the animals they own so its not just TV making me have these opinions. Yeah how bout them commercials.

Well, that drat Cadbury Bunny commercial is back. I know during Christmas we speculated that the Hershey Kiss "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" one was the longest-running national commercial, but this drat Cadbury onew can give it a run for it's money. If nothing else, the Cadbury one looks more dated. Nothing like a low-resolution, 4:3 aspect ratio, commercial in the middle of my widescreen high def program!

Looks like TMobile and Verizon are in a race to put out the worst ad. Both have ridiculous nonsensical hip dudes and dudettes flinging their hair, leaping and frolicking in still shots in quick succession with big annoying verbiage and horribly lovely modern music.

It's sad that the closest thing to a mascot sonic has is two guys trying to be funny in a car. Also that people are so uninterested in teaching that there are commercials trying to recruit teachers.

I never saw a Sonic commercial before moving to Kansas 10 years ago, probably before they had the national push. Anyway, they've had two other sets of people in the car (one did have a woman/wife), and they were much worse than the main two. Strangely enough Peter Grosz (the thinner guy) used to write for the Colbert report. He was also one of the panelists when I went to a taping Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me.

The Cheesesteak Shuffle ad is one of the most baffling i've seen in years. I just can't believe that this went through the entire process from pitch to production with every decision-maker thinking "This is good and will sell more car insurance". As far as I know, a "Cheesesteak Shuffle" isn't even an established concept, so someone had to think up, write and record this bizarre ditty. My only guess is they were trying to create something viral like the "world's worst ringtone" from a while back, but that was at least mildly humorous in execution.
