Phobic Nest posted:The concept that a person would root for one drug company over another like an obsessive sports fan is beautifully dark though. I have seen the future; instead of cheering for people wearing corporate logos we'll skip the middleman and just cheer for the corporations. People have been doing that for decades, almost more than a century, already. I cite for you every pick-up with Calvin pissing on a Chevy bowtie.

Doctor Butts posted:Congrats on setting the bar so high, steak place! You got the order right! I'm 1/5 on Taco Bell getting my order right on my last five visits (three year hiatus between #3 and #4 too) to four different Taco Bells, so at least one company can't even get that part right. Apparently "six soft tacos, no cheese" is a bridge too far. One time I got them with diced onion. They don't even put that on tacos!

There's a dealership in Pittsburgh that the owner calls a guy at one of his other locations and does the phone interview. It's like a commercial inside a commercial. vexing.

Sometimes I'd see the commercial and think "I don't know why, but there's something strangely attractive about the marionette lady." I have been cured of this affliction.

Y-Hat posted:Why not have "Non-24" drugs for blind dogs and blind cats? If this disorder exists, surely their rhythm is screwed up, so let's give them something to fix it! Having lived with cats, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give a poo poo because they'll just eat and sleep whenever they drat well feel like it regardless of where the sun is at the time. There's a radio commercial for a study about it that the guy says "you can't see me because I'm on the radio and I can't see you because I'm totally blind." The inference I made is that he'd be able to see me through the radio if he wasn't totally blind.

QuickbreathFinisher posted:Completely random: does anyone remember a 90s PSA about stealing cable with kids bringing their parents to work and talk about their jobs? I remember a little girl saying "my daddy is the best daddy in the world," then listing a bunch of normal dad stuff and ending with "and he even gets us free cable!" And then a cop dad that's also there arrests him. Anyone remember this? I can't find it anywhere, but it's burned into my memory like that Sears air conditioner commercial ('Nother scorcher!). I remember that commercial. It's a mythic lost commercial, like the early Netflix one where the guy gets home and his WWII movie is there so his living room explodes into combat and he's hunkered behind the couch with one of the soldiers and asks what happened to his wife's romantic comedy and the soldier says something like "they were with us when we hit the beach...haven't seen them since."

It's a South African restaurant chain. That's practically on the level of a German beer company having a Young Hitler burst into a beer hall with the Blood-Flag and see a beer so great that he forgets trying to overthrow the government.

However, if you want to define moonshine as "illegally distilled whiskey to avoid taxes," then its Pennsylvania. Who almost started a civil war over it.

I always thought Joe Camel was moronic and the Marlboro Man made "being a cowboy" look awesome, not make smoking look cool. I never understood that stuff. Who looked at the Marlboro Man and thought "that guy's tops, I'll smoke" instead of "that guy's tops, I wish I could rope a steer?"
