Looks like Sonic is switching gears as I've seen multiple commercials without those two dumbasses and their "comedy."

Maybe I’m wrong, but I remember reading an article that said that all those ads are made by just pointing the camera at them while they improvise. I guess it saves money on hiring actual writers.

AMP'D also had, in whats being advertised there, a content platform on mobile devices. I know this only because I tried using it since it came with a phone I had at the time and it sucked more than you can imagine proprietary media content player and service on pre-smartphones in 2006 would.

Hulu keeps airing this "thanks to our hard workers!" ad from some grocery store. All I can think about when they're on is how much money went into the marketing and research/development for that ad, and how much PPE or paid sick leave that amount of money would get you.

Also, is it just me, or does Hulu only have like four ads that they rotate between? They're all terrible, too!

I always have to chuckle at Neuriva's ads that start with the pitch "Want to brain better?". One way to start would be to realize that the word brain is a noun; not a verb.

"Brain and brain, what is brain?"

Tell TurboTax (Intuit) to eat a fat one: They spent money to fight free tax filing options. I've been using TaxAct for the last few years and while it's not as refined as TurboTax it works well enough and you won't be supporting assholes.

As for the topic: I don't what what a Quibi is, but it needs to gently caress off.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Turbotax is probably the best product of the ones I've tried since I started doing taxes online pretty much as soon as you could, but not so much better that it's worth the $89 over HR.block or I'm guessing the credit karma one people are using now. If my life changes to the point I'm making too much money to file for free with HR Block then I almost think I'm better off paying the roughly ~40 extra it costs a CPA to do it in my region.
