John Melaney is a pretty funny comedian but that commercial for that show was pretty bad.

There's this match dot com ad where some guy whines about how this girl he liked dated someone else before he could do the "conversion". Is that godawful PUA poo poo or does it just sound like it?

I never thought I'd ever get to see hipster kids. That chubby kid looks like he should be playing the bass for death cab for cutie. Also that commercial sucks almost as much as the product.

And there you sat, eating hamburgers while the world cried.

"So I remember my GPA from college, uh, and I know my IQ, uh, and I know, uh, and I know what blood type I have...uh huh," the woman in yellow felt more than confident about her place in the grand schema of life. But something crept to her mouth. A forgotten fear that yearned to be spoken aloud, if only so it could be quashed and destroyed. "I don't know my credit score."

"You don't you know your credit score?" said her friend.

"I don't know my credit score..." she defied the world to prove her unworthy.

"That's really important, I mean...do you want to buy a house, like, ever?"

The woman in yellow's jaw dropped in shock. She tried to formulate an answer but the words crumbled in her mouth. The only thing that came to mind was the wordless language of the reptilian brain gaping open in hysteria. Surprise, grief, anxiety, fear. The cold naked reality of it all soaked into her skin and gripped her by the ribcage. She looked off in the distance as though an answer to her silent questions would pop out from behind a bush.

Horror washed over like a cold shower. Her eyes instinctively grew wide and her stomach seized up. The future was gone, or rather, the future was clear. She'd be homeless. Forever denied the honor and nobility that comes from home ownership; her cry for the American Dream would be cut off. Hell's jaws gaped open for her very soul.

"You should probably check out Credit Karma," her friend continued. "It's free..."

The trauma refused to let her have faith. Hope was dead. The future was a lie. Heaven was just another place she'd never visit. But slowly the sun dawned as it always does. "C-Credit...Karm-ma?" She wanted to cry out in joy but the core of her being was held firmly in place by awe and gratitude. A website where people could see their credit score...for free? There was a god, and truly he was a god of love.

TV coin commercials are always a special kind of sleazy. On top of getting people to pay like $25 and shipping for a coin with a milligram of gold in it, it seems like there's always a different way to try and legitimize themselves as some sort of official government outlet.

Hey, want something legit? The US mint sells a one-ounce 24k coin for $1690, and they don't advertise on TV. Their market value is $1300, good luck, Fox News viewers!

There's a Kraft ranch dressing commercial that keeps playing on the WatchABC app that is basically saying kale is the new craze but it's gross and you should smother it in ranch dressing.

gently caress you Kraft.

They should just make an ad with people putting it on pizza because that's all I ever see ranch being used for anyway.

The real joke here is that most of the people that would buy into this poo poo would most likely pronounce "government" as GUB'MENT, thus their website url is completely accurate.

You and me both. They always try to get me to try it too, "oh it's better than you think". I can barely eat the cafeteria pizza at work as is, and that's after I dab it with a handful of napkins to absorb the grease pools sitting on top. Last thing I want is to throw sugar and even more fat on the thing.

But people seem to like it so what the gently caress do I know.

This ad drives me loving nuts, I could pick it apart in a 20-minute documentary, redlettermedia-style. Ok maybe just a slightly less spergy numbered list:

1. Please god, please. No more little kids/babies behaving like jaded adults. They can't loving act, it's not funny any more, please please.

2. The kid's dialogue sounds like it was created in a marketing board meeting. Safe, scrubbed, inoffensive, stupid. Each kid has 3 things on their phone, each of the three things are a buzzword. The committee people are like, "little girls are into Pinterest right?"

3. Whenever they show a product shot of the interface, there's always a picture of the cover of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. A movie from 1986. They wanted to show all the great poo poo available on amazon prime and went with a 28 year old movie. Does this mean the marketing is aimed at people in their 40s?

It's good... if you have good pizza. Cheap pizza, as you say, is barely palatable as it is, and ranch isn't really going to help that. High-quality or homemade pizza is generally improved by ranch, depending on what toppings are on it.

That's just my $.02, eat what you like and I'll eat what I like and more power to both of us.

If you're talking about the "living the life of dreams" and "gigantic" ads those aren't from Apple. Those are co-op spots made by Sprint and ATT respectively so Apple's only real involvement is making sure it doesn't make their brand look like total dogshit without cutting into their in house ad style too much.
