Funny thing, at first I was going to say "Florida in June" and went looking a couple minutes to see if that's ever actually happened. Looking at the standings now any or all of them could happen this year.

But his CarMax guy is just so lame and unfunny, and this is what people will know him for publicly. I guess he's probably making decent money, but it's still a shame. Selling out: a million stars!

There's this new Biore foaming facewash commercial that really bugs me because instead of actually having the face wash on the actress' face they just really poorly CGI it.

I’ve had Hulu on for background noise while I work from home, and there is a Ford ad that I immediately mute anytime I hear the little jingle start. Teen: There’s something wrong with the [Ford]. It won’t go over 65. Parent: Oh really? Teen: Mom there’s something wrong with the [Ford]. The radio won’t go very loud. Parent: Oh really? Teen: Dad, there’s something wrong with the [Ford]. If I get a phone call it goes straight to voicemail. Parent: Oh really? Something something ‘Ford has ‘parental controls’ on vehicles. The stupid ‘oh really?’ and the parents smugly fist-bumping each other annoys me to end. But teens have always been lovely drivers, amirite guys?

I like the phone call one because all it basically does is get your teen to not use the on-board Bluetooth that was supposed to be solving the problem of using the phone while driving in the first place.

I will admit that one time my family took two cars to a summercamp and made the mistake of having me and my brother alone in one of them. We weren't too bright about being subtle either, so when we got there we excitedly said "did you know that car can go 95?" Ah, New Mexico, land of ruler-straight roads without a soul on them.

Those JG Wentworth opera commercials are back on the radio, but it's not the whole thing because they changed from 877 to 866 and couldn't be bothered to re-record I guess. It's just regular, boring voiceovers between the verses. I don't like it.

Also the IRS is super willing to work with you on poo poo like that as long as you're upfront and honest. They'll work out a payment plan for you, they're actually super reasonable as long as you don't try to screw them out of money.

I just heard some commercials for renting car wheels. I knew it was a thing, I just haven’t ever heard or seen an ad for it in Denver. What an awful way to spend $14 a week. You could save $14 a week and have a nice set by the end of the year, and if you can’t afford that then you can’t afford to rent wheels.

There’s some ad about producing bedsheets where they show the production line and they show a 40 year old Asian lady, super happy, super well dressed and in a good work environment (her factory is super nice and clean). Just lies. So many lies. E: oh and of course the ending is a family of blonde haired girl blonde haired mom and stereotypical attractive white guy jumping and laying around in the bed.

There's a car insurance commercial(esurance?) where some woman wails and screams for 15 seconds while "Love Hurts" plays in the background. It's very grating.

Is there any reason so many commercials just have wordless screaming in them other than that it's attention-grabbing? I feel like there's been an uptick in those types of commercials in the last few years, and I really hate it.

Here's the magic of this business: You can repo your poo poo if you have a guy, 10 minutes, a jack and 4 cinder blocks. If you do this, the renter is COMPLETELY turbofucked and can't get to work, because LOL if you think they kept their old rims around It's incredible leverage on the renter while being near-zero-risk for the tire shop. Rent and Roll is a fuckin monster

The MyPillow ads are kind of creepy. The weird, fake-happy-and-nice owner who buttons his top button on his shirt w/out a tie, and has his gold cross hanging out of his shirt appearing in people's mirrors. Then, at the end, he's back in the mirror smugly saying he knew the people would sleep better, and now, for some reason, the guy who bought his pillow is wearing the same blue collared shirt, buttoned to the top, with a gold cross hanging out. Like some sort of pillow cult.

Turns out it’s hard to evict people cleanly and easy to repo a car, and people rely on the car so it’s a clear decision on which to pay. I kind of want to be a repo man, sounds like an exciting job.
