I know commercials like this are supposed to be "ironically" dumb, but what kind of a baby would require a flavor packet to drink water after wandering in the desert? People have their reasons for using flavoring for water, but this is just insultingly stupid.

What the hell is going on here? Both of them look like actors hired to play Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. because they kind of have a vague passing resemblance.

Finally, the answer to all of our prayers -- a commercial even more annoying than the Kars 4 Kids commercial.

Also, the Seamless "beep boop bap beep boop uh" commercials are just so grating.

This reminds me of the Bob Newhart show. He explicitly refused to have a story line where he and his wife had a child. There's even one episode where his neighbor's son wants to be a comedian, and he says "you're not funny, you're cute." Which seems to me like Newhart explaining why he didn't want kids on his TV show in one simple sentence.

Is it the commercial where the parents bribe their children into eating broccoli with copious amounts of macaroni & cheese?

edit: or the one commercial that's like "kids don't like anything, but they totally like this!"? I know that looks like an exaggeration to people who are unfamiliar with it, but I swear that's how on-the-nose that commercial actually is.

So speaking of Burger King, their latest advertising venture definitely moves into the scum valley. A marketing company was donating the amount an item would cost at Burger King to Twitch streamers who use text to speech to read out their tip messages. With the message being an ad for Burger King saying what the money could buy at BK. The streamers in question did not agree to be used for advertising and obviously some people weren't very happy about it.

Right now everything online is giving me a Draft Kings commercial because apparently it is now legal in my state to do sports betting. Kind of funny how quickly they've dropped the draft angle once they could do actual gambling.
