I thought I was going to be disturbed all day long by what they were implying in the pos-t-vac commercial when the old dude is laying on the ground spinning the old lady in a tire swing above him, it's gone now.

muscles like this? posted:I don't know if they still do it but when I was younger I remember Comedy Central at night was terrible for commercials as they'd just keep showing Girls Gone Wild ones over and over again. Although the best part of that was seeing them so much that you finally notice that they screwed up a censoring. Cartoon Network is pretty bad about this once it switches over to Adult Swim at night. They have a few regular commercials thrown in, but there's a lot of ads for stuff like "Cougar Life" and a bunch of other phone services for talking to singles in your area. And of course the usual lovely ads for stuff like Axe, Trojan, Enzyte, etc. I think the most  one for me is one of the women's channels, Oxygen or WeTV at night runs like an hour of what basically amounts to TV home shopping for sex toys. The format is exactly like something you would see on a home shopping network, except the hosts are talking about vibrators and huge jelly dongs.

I feel like a bad person for thinking it, but I can't stand the lady in the Chico's clothing store commercials. She's the one with short hair in the most recent spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IlGQGVr4A0 I don't even know why. I'm sure she's probably a nice person in real life. I think maybe because her expression only seems to alternate between smugness and manic glee. Or I just don't like her "Oh, how fun and youthful am I!" dancing. The other woman in that spot isn't as bad to me, maybe because she hasn't been doing the same thing in Chico's commercials since the dawn of time. Because every Chico's commercial is like that, with that same woman dancing around in front of a minimal set/backdrop looking just so drat pleased to be wearing super-slimming jeans or something. And there's a part of me that feels shame for devoting this much time and thought to Chico's commercials.

The commercials for Amy Schumer's new show don't make it look very promising. Every single joke seems to boil down to "lol im such a slut! stds! abortions!" Gonna be pretty hard to carry an entire show on the back of that one-note premise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6Z5JNjt-qk She looks like she's afraid she's going to be beaten for mentioning anything to do with a vagina in these commercials. I honestly don't get the pause and the "you know" in this context except to communicate embarrassment. That seems like a great way to sell your product: remind your customers they should feel bad about buying your thing. The cactus one is pretty hilariously bad, too.

I don't understand with all of the funny women comedians that exist, that the ones who seem to keep getting gigs are people like her, Chelsea Handler, Whitney Cummings and Kathy Griffin. We need more JennyJohnsonHi5's of the world, and less of the aforementioned.

Just saw an obnoxious car commercial (shocking!) Cadillac XTS: teen/young guy is listening to music on earphones, gets into a car with an older man, and the music starts playing in the car. Young guy says "Did you get a new car?" the key point being he didn't notice until the music starts playing in the car. 1. If you don't recognize the car, why would you ask that question? 2. Does this family buy new Cadillacs so often that he can't tell when they're new?

Even weirder, its regarded as the best place for karaoke in town. You'd think they could have tracked done someone better to sing. People around here call it a dive, but I don't. Although I grew up in an economically depressed steel town with bars that didn't always have fancy things like doors or furniture.
