there was a really good interview with Flo I saw recently, she's actually quite funny and I think does a decent amount of voice work. she was on Tim & Eric and Tom Goes to the Mayor I think. she tried out for SNL but got rejected, which is weird because I'm pretty sure they've done sketches with her character in it.

There's a parallel universe where her and Kristen Schaal were regulars on Mad Men, instead of an aborted side group of characters.

She was, she and Tim were dating at the time. She was the singer in the live action Rats Off T'Ya music video.

Gilly is maybe the worst SNL recurring character of all time.

Life would be simple in the forest except for Cyril Sneer. And his life would be simple except for The Raccoons.
Ya'll seen these Uber Teen ads? They're all so goddamn saccharine, just terrible.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The trend in podcast ads right now seems to be some sort of anti-ads where they are trying to make you both hate the product and turn off the show you're listening to if you don't click the 30 second advance fast enough. One of these ads even says something like "marketers say you shouldn't make annoying noises in podcast ads . . . BUT WE'RE GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY" like what the hell.

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires, Big Bird.


I'm open palm slamming that 30-second skip either way, so making it an annoying noise would actually help me determine if the ad is over or not tbh. Shoutout to pods that use background music or different VAs for ads instead of making me actually listen to the content to find out if they're done

It's generally not coming from the people on the show but midroll ads that are being inserted into a lot of shows on various networks.

There's ads now that are pretending to be social media reviews, complete with "live" react overlays and all that junk.

This monster is never getting slayed, is it.

There's one ad, I don't know what it's for, but it starts out with a phone text vibe that is nearly impossible to distinguish from my own and it is so loving annoying :argh:

My partner works for a local community college that runs ads on TV sometimes, and their newest one was apparently made for free because the whole goddamn commercial has a CLIDEO.COM watermark in the corner of the screen and only at the end shows the name of the school. It's pretty funny because the first time I saw it I thought it was an ad for clideo so I googled it not knowing what it was, then the school's name appeared and I laaaaughed. I've never seen anything like that before.

there's a new Jardiance ad that's playing during the NBA game and it's so meticulously choreographed it actually freaks me out. one scene had like 30 people with specific directions, commercials ain't supposed to do that poo poo

Publix is using Bitter Sweet Symphony in an ad. Besides being weirded out by the choice - it's their usual "shopping is a pleasure" tagline thing - I have questions.

Who gets the money? The Verve or the Rolling Stones?

They don't use the lyrics, but the music, which of course is the orchestral sample of that Stones song, and the same amount of it that cost The Verve for years.

Unless something else was negotiated or decided on appeal the Rolling Stones have full control.

The Stones ceded full control back to The Verve in 2019.
