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.

I think Consumer Celluar is aimed at the elderly and non tech savvy based just on that one commercial.

That is the second unmanliest thing you did today, one more and you have to turn in your MAN CARD.

I realize the legitimacy of using a spokesperson of the ethnicity you're targeting, but goddamn if it doesn't rub me the wrong way. 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.

I was basically coming in to post this. It's so painfully forced, too.

She isn't even saying the spanish words right, I think they just got some tanned italian girl and told her to say these spanish words and she just read it. Also I loving hate when media forces spanish actors to speak spanglish it sounds loving horrible and unnatural. Another also, that food looks horrible.

KFC and Taco Bell (I know they're owned by the same company) are essentially running the same ad now. Bring KFC/Taco Bell to your friend's party! You'll be a total hit!

I haven't been to a party where everyone was excited for fast food ever. You go get fast food after the party. You're not hitting on a girl after just eating a bean burrito.

Yeah, it's always irritated me when someone brings fast food to a potluck style anything. It just reeks of "oh poo poo, I'm on the way out the door and was too lazy to cook anything, quickly to KFC!"

Of course this probably stems from my days in Boyscouts when we'd have a potluck event where a good 50% of what was brought was from KFC. 80% of that was from the troop leaders and various other organizers of such events.

I don't know if they still do it, but there was a time in the 2000s where Pepsi started consolidating their fast food properties into single buildings as well as single commercials. I remember seeing quite a few KFC/Taco Bells and even a KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut once. I think there were a few KFC's combined with Long John Silver's too.

It's interesting...I've seen lots of KFC/Taco Bells, a few KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Huts, a Taco Bell/Long John Silvers, and maybe even a KFC/Long John Silvers, but never all four...:iiam:

Would that just be too may different ingredients/pieces of specialized "cooking" equipment for one place to handle? I just want a P'Zone stuffed with popcorn chicken, popcorn shrimp, and a chalupa...is that so much to ask?

We have a A&W/Captain D's where I live still, and a Taco Bell/Pizza Hut but I don't know if that one is still there anymore or if its just Taco Bell. But you could order pan pizzas in the drivethrough along with tacos and whatever.

There's an A&W/Long John Silvers near where I used to live in Southern Indiana. It was actually a pretty sweet combination.

Even if you hate Tim and Eric, you have to admit that sometimes their format works for commercials. They did a good job with those Old Spice ads, and that new one establishes two very important things:

1) I will lose my poo poo whenever presented with someone trying to talk after their mind has been blown.
2) JEEZUS gently caress, TERRY CREWS, YOU ARE WAY TOO RIPPED.

Dubstep doesn't thump, it goes "bwuhhhhh bwuhbwuhbwuhbwuuuhhhhh". Also 99% of it is loving horrid. That new Skrillex song they're playing on the radio has an amazing melodic hook that really only starts playing in earnest at the very end.

Yea your right. It was definately dubstep I just got the onomatopoeia wrong. To the guy wondering what dubstep is. type in skrillex, bassnectar, or dubstep into youtube. Dont get me wrong I like my dubstep but it has a time and a place.
