SamBishop posted:Arrrrgh, Pizza Hut is back with their ANY* pizza for $10 bullshit. No, you see the "pizza" itself is just the concept and you get that for 10 bucks. Want to put poo poo on it? Well, that's extra! Also there's a local place called The Pie whose pizza is absolutely king poo poo. They were so popular that they added some new locations out in the 'burbs, but the original is downstairs across the street from the University of Utah. Graffiti all over the walls (you're encouraged to do so), beer on tap, has a candle/rack to keep your pie warm and still has a pinball machine and a jukebox. http://www.thepie.com/ If you're ever in Salt Lake go there, you will not regret it. edit: hah, you can mail order it now.

I'm not sure which I'm more irritated by in the "my little bundle" Vonage commercial: A)the fact that even though the woman plainly and clearly says they need to get rid of their phone bundle and switch to Vonage, the guy is just too drat busy cooing over the baby to listen and thus a cliched "comedy misunderstanding" ensues or B)It's 2012 and they are STILL USING THAT DAMNED "HOO HOO" SONG FROM "KILL BILL".

When I first saw Eddie Murphy Raw, I was shocked at how accurately the "house burger" bit matched my own childhood. Right down to putting onions in the giant, greasy burger patties.

Has anyone else seen that Green Giant commercial where they show "farmers" wrapping up each individual ear of corn in these special, corn-shaped packages? Something about how they pack all their vegetables fresh? It's insulting. We all know our corn is harvested by bigass combines, and we're ok with that! Don't coddle my corn, baby.

It's actually a really respectable school, as others have said. Not all of the colleges advertised on tv are diploma mills...just most.

SpacePig posted:I can't comment on a single place, but I live about 15 minutes outside of Philadelphia, and the pizza definitely gets markedly better the closer you get to the city. My dad lived in Northeast Philly for about 10 years, and every time I'd visit him he'd suggest Santucci's. It's seriously some of the best pizza I've ever had, though it's the kind you have to eat right away and not the next day. I moved into his house when he moved to the burbs, and when he'd visit me he'd suggest Santucci's. Then I moved to South Philly... just as they opened up a Santucci's down here.

So the TurboTax GPS gripe was back a a few posts, but my particular gripe is this: What kind of rear end in a top hat, who delivers ice sculptures, doesn't have a refrigerated truck to do so? Also, you guys are really making me crave some pizza.

That's the thing, though; they not only have a dude literally singing about the fact that it's "any" but they scroll words too, with it in ALL CAPS even as the disclaimer basically says "nah, just kidding, we're lying right now - any doesn't really mean any!" I just figured there would be some truth in advertising group jumping on them for that. Silly me.

This commercial for Vista Ford: http://youtu.be/8F6tyziOWY4 Fat, non-athletic 'quarterback' passes the ball...to himself for a touchdown  Nice crotch shot about 14-15 seconds in though, almost makes up for the rest of it.

I'm getting pretty sick of the commercials for that Chronicle movie. I thought the "young adults with powers" genre was completely played out but I guess not! Also, I recently saw a commercial for some new lego ninja cartoon. That fact that it's such a blatant 30 minute toy ad is sort of annoying, but apparently the ninjas all have names like Biff, Cole and Skyler. What 100 Years in Iraq posted:Yeah, expecting real honesty in advertising is pretty naive nowadays. Except those Native American payday loan places. "We're loving you completely, but if you're really desperate come see us!" Do you have a link to this? I kind of want to see it.

The AT&T commercial with the guy checking his phone for NFL updates while on a date. It was mildly annoying, being played many times during any game, but then I had an epiphany..  edit: Goin' hogwild with MSPaint.

Down here in Utah County, there's a place called Wiseguyz. It's utter poo poo if you get generic pepperoni or whatever, but their specialty pizzas are loving amazing. Plus the local schools do a buy one get one half off card (good for a whole year, and with other poo poo on it too) for $20. So yeah.

Rhyno posted:I hate it so much. Is it that hard to find real twins? Also the idea in it that what is funny is that one twin asks the other 'when were you going to tell me?' and the first one rings his doorbell. Haha, it's funny he's going to tell him right now, get it?! But he had already told him about it. On the phone. Immediately after getting it. Argh. I realise some people might interpret it as it is funny because he had already told him on the phone, but that's clearly not what the commercial is going for by having him ring the doorbell at that moment, in which case the joke makes no sense.

It's like if KFC or Popeye's only targeted black people instead of realizing that everyone and their mum loves good fried chicken and assorted sides with biscuits.
