I think we're supposed to be impressed by that Audi SUV having different configurations for the front headlights, but the woman in the commercial just seems like she needs to get a loving life. Why on earth does someone need to control lights to that nitpicking level?

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.
The fact that we somehow got a second year of that commercial is what really annoys me.

This Disney+ ad with all these iconic quotes is supposed to be heartwarming, but it just serves as a sad reminder of how much goddamn media Disney currently owns.

I had the TV on as background noise on NHL Network, not paying attention to the commercials, when I heard a familiar voice and went “huh…” and looked up. It was Billy Mays for Mighty Putty.

Reminder: Billy Mays died in 2009.

Per Wikipedia, they did one season, Mays died, they did a second season before it was cancelled.

He died right after the first season started airing. They said his son was going to take his place for the second season but then it never happened and Anthony Sullivan ended up hosting by himself.

Yeah that sounds familiar now. I thought what made the show great was the contrast in personalities between Mays and Sullivan.

Watched a video about the rise of sports betting advertising and how all of those "bet amount, get bigger amount" ads have a bunch of small print that means you have to deposit a LOT of money and then wager on bad odds to get any of that money.

Saw an All State Mayhem commercial that I thought was actually kind of cute. Mostly because the premise was "overly competitive brother" and the actor playing the brother was actually Dean Winters' brother Scott.

Yeah there were like 5 big name celebs who croaked in a two week period in 2009. Farrah Fawcett died the same day that Michael Jackson did, and David Carradine died around the same time too.

I think someone suggested to Anthony Sullivan that the Slap Chop Guy(Vince Offer) could co-star with him and Sullivan said something like "Over my dead body"

I'm sure they always were, but iPhone 15 commercials seem to have cranked the 'smug prick' dial up to 15.

There's also the Behr (?) paint commercial with the choir. Commercials are getting so obnoxiously terrible now that I'd be surprised if they weren't being written using some chatbot bullshit.

There's a longer version of this which has the dog imagining the human doing things like eating out of a bowl with their hands while missing them, which was kind of fun.

At some point they added a definition of the perineum taint to the fine print because people didn't know what it was.

The "turning into your parents" Progressive commercials are getting noticeably worse, and it makes me sad because those were the only gimmick commercials I've liked in a long time. :smith:

Also, there's one commercial that has "Get Back" by Ludacris (approximately sanitized and chopped up) and another that has "Ruff Ryders Anthem" by DMX (ditto, and :rip: ), and those are maybe the least commercial-ready songs I've ever heard. I don't know what either of them are advertising either.

The one in the mall is one of the few commercials that has ever made me laugh because I've also bought the same shirt I was wearing and wondered how the hell the hippie store is even able to pay overhead much less turn a profit.

Edit: actually, that's not true. The more recent one when they're at the dumpster and the one sap has crown molding scraps because "you never know when you'll need them" and the therapist guy says "I do, and it's never." Dead on. Otherwise, yeah, they're getting more obscure and lame.

The first couple were OK, but they exhausted the premise pretty quickly. Now they're just digging at the bottom of the barrel.

I have multiple pieces of 2x6 scrap less than a foot long left over from some deck repair just sitting in the garage taking up space. My wife insists that we keep them. I have been slowly disposing of them by putting one out with the trash every other week. So far she hasn’t noticed. Because it’s scrap. That we won’t need. Or use. Ever.
