I feel terrible that I had to look up which song they were singing in the latest Cosmopolitan commercial. Those commercials are always top notch.

That was amazing, have never seen that. I suppose you can be forgiven for not knowing the song. (If you live in like Senegal or rural China)

If I ever get enough money to go to vegas resorts I'm voting with my wallet and going to the one that uses the words "beelzlebub has a devil put aside for me" on network ads.

You know, I liked you wheat thins. I really did.

My patronage wasn't enough apparently and you decided to hitch your wagon to a tired Family Guy non-joke in some misguided attempt to make Wheat Thins cool with the kids or something.

Well FFUCK YOU gently caress SETH MCFARLANE AND HIS HORRIBLE 'EDGY' UNCOMFORTABLY LONG NON-JOKES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO PRONOUNCE THINGS DIFFERENTLY HA loving HA. NOT ONLY DO I NOW MUTE THE TELEVISION WHEN YOUR COMMERCIAL COMES ON NOW BUT YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY USED PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONING TO CREATE A GAG REFLEX AT THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOUR poo poo THIN WHEAT.

This drove me crazy the first time I saw it, because I hadn't really been paying attention, and thought it was a Family Guy commercial, then realized at the end that they had been saying "Wheat Thins" over and over for some reason. I saw it a second time, and realized it was just the two of them saying "Wheat Thins" back and forth for its entirety. I wanted to die.

My manager loves this pig, and didn't even see the first commercial until after the zipline one. I told her about it, and she immediately went on to Youtube, turned her volume up, and looked up the first one. I could hear it in the next room, and it made me sad.

So there's this commercial that's been bugging the hell out of me about a lovely guy who cares more about the game than his girlfriend. i have no idea how the internet works, so I performed a pagan ritual to summon this footage of it.

Just experienced the most godawful commercial of all time. I was dozing off in front of the TV like always on Sunday night when I hear this piercing buzzer noise. Imagine if the robot Beeno from Adventure Time could cry, except 300x louder. I jump up from my couch (its a nice couch) ready for action because holy gently caress what am I hearing right now? I thought it was War of the Worlds.

Anyways, I finally notice its coming from the TV and I catch the tail end of a Goddamn Scrolling Banner Ad during the actual TV show. Was this some sort of a joke put on by Adult Swim or is this a real type of advertisement? Holy hell I am about to call Comcast and cancel my cable entirely.

It makes me sad to see people hating on this commercial. Every time I see it, it never fails to make me laugh. At the very least, it's leagues better than the other AT&T commercials with the obnoxious "that's so __ seconds ago" assholes.

Actually, when the EAS replaced the EBS in 1997, it was established that on even-numbered months, the monthly test must go out between the hours of the local sunset and 8:30 a.m., while on odd-numbered months it's between 8:30 a.m. and local sunset.

Something about the ad for The Lorax rubs me the wrong way. Probably the ad doing the terrible "guest starring these celebrities" section of the commercials, which on CGI Cartoons, tends to mean the movie is going to be awful.

It might be the fact that when I first saw the trailer it was blaring at me in a theater or maybe it looks like they're trying too hard to make it seem zany, but I can't wait for March 2nd to get here so commercials for that Project X movie can end.

Also the Chevy Sonic ads with We Are Young playing. I don't really find the ad that offensive but it seems to play every commercial break. I hate when songs are repeated because i'll eventually get tired of them so hearing just the chorus of that one song has become aggravating.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Is it the fact that you can't hear DeVito's voice any more without immediately replacing the character with Frank Reynolds in your mind? Because, y'know, that's my problem with the whole thing.

I think it's the "ignoring the entire point of the original story for some Big Brother City poo poo and turning the Lorax into Frank from Always Sunny" part that means the movie is going to be awful.
