Just put on some music and pedal! Why the gently caress do you need a video screen there to watch some sweaty rear end in a top hat yell at you for $40/month? Peloton isn't quite at Juicero levels of stupidity but holy hell are they trying.

I mean, Pelotons are dumb, and it's dumb if the bike is essentially useless without the subscription, but $40/month for a spin class isn't crazy. Most gyms build it into the membership, but a dedicated spin gym could charge $30/class before any bulk discount.

Because apparently over time buying the 2000 dollar bike and the subscription is cheaper than having that same sweaty rear end in a top hat yell at you in person here is a chart comparing the cost of the peloton bike and the major national spin class gyms:  Spin classes can be awfully expensive. Of course you could probably just get a YMCA membership and take all the Spin classes you'd ever want but what do I know?

Lol if you don't just buy a $300 spin bike from Amazon, a cheap tablet, and save hundreds of dollars. And then you can just get the Peloton digital sub for $13 a month

The Folgers article is a pro click. Here's my favorite part where they actually get a marketing exec to comment:quote:Tina Meyer-Hawkes (Vice President of Marketing for Coffee Brands at J.M. Smucker, Folgers’ parent company): As we think back to 2009, the social media landscape wasn't quite what it is today. However, references to “Coming Home” continue to make their way into popular culture. There have been a number of tweets, memes and parody videos over the years. There has also been a lot of long-lasting positive sentiment and adoration for this ad. Our goal in creating “Coming Home” was to develop a heartwarming family homecoming story. We did not anticipate the public would see it any other way. And rather than engaging with misinterpreted conversation about “Coming Home” online, we’re focused on showcasing modern mornings in a new and different way for the brand.

I've been having trouble deciding which ads I hate more - the Frank Thomas dick pills ones, or the DoorDash "SHISHITO BURRITO" ones. I've come to the decision that the latter has taken the lead. It is literally the most annoying thing I've ever heard in my life.

Sorry in advance if this is straying too far into politics, but if Bloomberg wants people to vote for him, he can start by not airing ads with clips of Trump talking. Granted, it's doubtful that I'd vote for Bloomberg anyway, but if I never had to hear the Cheeto Bandito's whiny voice again, especially without warning on a commercial, it'd be too soon. Less politically, the idea of a sequel for a commercial is extremely dumb. If Geico produced a product that people wanted, they'd have no need for the "clever" meme-y ads.

I guess I should judge companies on how fancy the ads are?

I guess I should judge companies on how fancy the ads are? I judge them by how much they actually say about their product. If they go the Geico route and put out a lot of memes and sell a product as an afterthought, it makes me suspicious that the product isn't good and they're trying to make up for it. State Farm commercials can be pretty obnoxious, but I don't think they're nearly as bad as whatever Geico is doing with the "sequels" thing.

I'm not sure what an insurance company is supposed to say anyhow, given the customer directly influences what they are selling.

Agreed. Mayhem doesn't bother me because they're at least discussing what the insurance covers/does. Geico has a fig leaf of "15 minutes can save you 15% or more", and I suppose if you really love their commercials, that's enough to get you interested. But if I'm going to buy insurance, I want to know what I'm getting for my money; not goofy stuff about Pinocchio being a self-help coach.

At this point all I can ask is that a commercial not irritate me. Inevitably, all commercials will, because the nature of advertising is repetition until the brand gets stuck in your head, but some take longer to annoy me than others.
