They're recycling the lovely song they used in the '90s for some reason, if it hurts you it's probably the wounds of lovely advertisements past reopening.

What's weird is that the first time they did it, they started with "The Joy of Cola", decided that wasn't brand specific enough and changed to "The Joy of Pepsi", but now they're back to the original.

Yeah, I thought so too but I figured I must have remembered wrong. Either way it's so weird that they brought that awful song back, it's just as bad as back then but now it's got the double whammy of trying to appeal to millenials with the stink of the '90s all over it.

I'm almost expecting to see commercials for Sony products using the Summer Song again.

I'll just leave that there for everyone to peruse at their own leisure. Quite possibly the schmaltziest promos ever.

Saw the "Gratitude" one on TV with the daughter and her dad looking at each other longingly, her leaving, and then having to come back for more and was very suspicious. I initially thought it was some kind of parody the incest vibes were so over the top.

Ah yes, the completely natural look of having your body swerve sharply inward right under the ribcage, and also those lumpy velcro flaps sticking out from under your shirt. Just like women have naturally!

There's an ad on the radio right now for an android app called Next, and the commercial is a really bad attempt at a Who's On First? style sketch, with a really forced confusion between the idea of an app called Next, and a button in the app store that say "next app". It is driving me insane.

I identify very strongly with the woman throwing a tantrum in the grocery store. Grocery shopping loving sucks, and I've come drat close to simply parking my cart and running the gently caress out of the store in frustration.

WHY THE gently caress AREN'T CANNED TOMATOES IN THE CANNED VEGETABLE SECTION! WHAT RETARD THOUGHT OF THIS???

Reading small print in commercials can be fun. Like how Hunts makes a big deal about other tomato canners pealing with lye while they do it with steam. The small print says that the FDA states lye is perfectly safe.

Or how Tyson states that their chicken doesn't have added hormones or antibiotics and the small print says that those aren't allowed in any chicken in the US.

Food fads are rife with this poo poo. "Low-carb" and "gluten free" being plastered on stuff that never had any of it to begin with, or anything "organic" as if it's an intrinsic health benefit. Mmmm spoonfuls of organic cane sugar and saturated fat, it does a body good!

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.
Y'know what, I'll cop to having done this. It's what comes of reading in bed with a tablet; the upside is that you have a magical book that is every book you own and glows in the dark, the downside is once in a while you get sleepy and accidentally drop the drat thing on your face.

Fox Sports streaming shows three commercials during an event at any given time during every commercial break. During this Panthers/Seahawks game, one of the ads for Visa starts out with, "I haven't always been a Patriots fan." It's enough to make me want to cut up my Visa gift card with $7 left.

SCIENCE



Speaking of NFL Playoffs, maybe it's nationwide or maybe it's just airing around here because Rubio and Bush have been having an idiotic slapfight with campaign commercials in SC, but there's a Rubio one that's really hilariously awkward. He's tossing a football around and trying to put on a fake good ol' boy persona by answering football-related questions flashing on the screen. Trouble is, it's an embarrassingly transparent ploy and it's blatantly obvious he has no idea what he's talking about. Like, one of his statements was something like "My pick for the dark horse Super Bowl winner is the Philadelphia Eagles!" (the Eagles didn't even make the playoffs).

The one that gets me lately is the Chevy commercial where some idiots come in and try to guess what model car it is and they are all like "Oh, I don't know, maybe a Lexus/BMW/Audi and this car probably costs like 60,000", but it turns out to be some lovely Chevy Malibu with a base price of like 22,500. But the car they actually show is on with all the upgrades and actually costs 36,550.
