I'm so glad that Heineken decided to make their own lol-so-wacky-what-will-happen-next commercial just like Budweiser, except without Arnold Schwarzeneggar playing ping-pong (the best part of the other one by far) and about 300% more obnoxious and fake. This isn't sad at all.
Commercials on TV are bad enough. How hollow of a person do you have to be to want to watch more of them online?

Is that anything like the "talking bench" commercials during the NCAA tournament that came with its own Twitter account (@TalkingBench)? I won't be watching the playoffs because the Devils aren't in it and the Bruins are going to win the whole thing anyway (somebody please for the love of God prove me wrong), but I can say that all postseasons that aren't the NFL really oversaturate the same commercials over and over again. See: the MLB playoffs commercials in 2007 with Dane Cook, or the ones a few years later (2011?) with "Written In the Stars" as the background music. Also, no one gives a poo poo what awful show is going to debut on TBS after the World Series.

It makes me glad the only NHL commercial I've ever really seen are the gamecenter ones, and frankly I can deal with the occasional one with Ovechkin and Garrus in it. Haven't seen any random red couch things, though. But I don't super care because the Devils aren't playing.

That commercial was actually the tipping point in my turning on adblock on youtube (which is now behaving kind of weirdly, great), after it played before EVERY video one night while I was trying to get to sleep. If I ever see that screaming rear end in a top hat on the street, he'll be wearing two eyepatches afterwards :smug:

The Verizon "Fear of Missing Out on Hockey" commercials are just NHL versions of the "Fear of Missing Out on Football" ones anyway.

This commercial annoys me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO0jawglZG8

Why would they take their sleeping baby in to the shop? Why does only the woman have to be quiet, not everyone else in that very busy store? Why is the woman successfully selling a 4-person family plan to a family that only has 2 people that can use cell phones? Are they getting cellphones for the baby and an unborn fetus?

I think those two kids that are in the background staring at the tablet are supposed to be their kids. The parents do point to them and they look up so yeah.

Still a stupid commercial though.

Here's what gets me: how come when the saleslady tells the husband that their family plan costs $160 a month, he shouts "What?!" in a tone of pleasant surprise? It should be in a tone that says, "That's a tremendous rip-off and I'm leaving the store now."

To an extent. I get sales calls from Verizon about 3x a month, tons of junk mail announcing new phones and the like, attempting to convince me to switch to a newer faster phone. What they don't understand is that it makes no sense for me to switch to a plan with 2 GB of data for $35 more a month.

Just to let you know if you did want to get a new cheap phone you just put another line on your account you can transfer the upgrade from your line to the new line, get a new phone at discount and then just use it on the unlimited line. It's cheaper than buying a new phone outright and you keep your unlimited data.

We actually made the switch based on the sales pitch from the ATT store, that this plan had like 2x data than we used. Except it didn't, because she was looking at some derived numbers or only one line (out of three).So aftert hat turned out to be not true, and some arguing with the sales people, and then a conversation with the manager, our ticket to undo that contract was approved the next day, and we got the new contract price without actually getting the new contract.

The concept that a person would root for one drug company over another like an obsessive sports fan is beautifully dark though. I have seen the future; instead of cheering for people wearing corporate logos we'll skip the middleman and just cheer for the corporations.

And the DVD has an alternate ending!

I don't see why a lovely, by-the-numbers comedy needs an alternate ending, but unless it ends up being some surreal poo poo where out of nowhere Cthulu rises from his watery slumber, or an asteroid takes out the main characters, it's not worth it.

It's not the exact same thing, and the movie up to this point is entirely self-aware, tongue-in-cheek, and intentionally bad and stupid, but this is the last shot of "Feast 3":

- grilled to perfection
- baked to perfection
- cooked to perfection
- fried to perfection

The first commercial I heard was of a place that makes steaks and literally stated that how they make their steaks so great is that they are grilled to perfection. :wtf:
