The only thing funny about this one: Is the way she poorly acts slipping on the stairs. Just last month the same thing happened to me. Wrenched my already arthritic knee, and could barely walk for at least a day.

Lately? Clearly you haven't watch much daytime television in oh, five years. There are only three types of commercials that run during all that crap--Class action lawsuits, bankruptcy attorneys, and adult education career colleges. They know EXACTLY who's watching at that time slot.

When I lived in Northern California for a little bit, I was delighted to see that she was still advertising there on that side of the country, only in Spanish. "Yo Soy Ronnie Deutch!"

Right up there with the recent line of Centrum multi-vitamin commercials. They spend the whole ad extolling how recently big time scientists did a study on the long term effect of multi-vitamins, and guess what? They used Centrum in the study! Of course, there's absolutely zero information in the ads about what the study found, but at least they used Centrum!

dijon du jour posted:Oh wow, the fact that there is a mixed race couple in the ad never registered for me until now. Actually, I'm guessing socially forward. Last summer, at the same time that Chick-fil-a was raising a huff against gay marriage, Big G got protested for supporting it, and having their employees' same sex partners receive benefits. In response, the employees went out to the protesters and offered them ice tea and water with lemon wedges. They'd have given them cookies, but the protesters were making "dumping" piles of their products, and the cookies would have gone there too.

kittenmittons posted:That stupid ad for some heart medication where there's an old guy driving and the GPS says go left at a fork in the road and the guy says, "I don't think so." heh, apparently that man is my GF's father. One year he told his kids he wanted a GPS. Both of them looked at each other in confusion, as this was a man that never asked for directions. He then elaborated that he wanted one so he could have someone to argue with in the car.

You kids don't know how good you got it. Yeah, well back in MY day, we DID watch tv in whatever room we wanted. Because we used rabbit ears. Instead of expensive cable service. And the tvs were small enough to carry. And were black and white. And required pliers to change the vhf dial. And we liked it! Now get off my lawn!

As a parent, I find myself watching too much children's programming these days. Every frickin commercial break on Cartoon Network features this commercial for "Laser Pegs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE8tMTdPH_M The girl they got to sing and announce on the commercial is so dreadful that I can only assume she's the daughter of the commercial's director or something.

Yeah, I saw that commercial the other day, and this was honestly my train of thought: "You know, I don't wear a wrist watch anymore (long story) I bet I'd actually use a pocket watch if I had--oh wait, I have my phone already in my pocket."

As someone with dialysis experience, I assure you there is no not-insane part of that ad. At-home dialysis usually doesn't resemble clinic dialysis in the least. Also, flash fact: most dialysis patients, due to all the weird crap it does to you, are incapable of "weeing water".

muscles like this? posted:Last night watching USA there were a couple of really horrible pro-milk commercials that they played every break. Now they're trying to pimp the fact that milk has protean in it for some reason. The stupid part was how they kept on comparing milk to things that were completely different. Like milk vs an omelet in travel capacity or milk in cereal vs orange juice in the cereal. Oh god yeah, I saw those the other day. The omelette one is especially bad. Let's grossly stuff a loaded omelette as carelessly as we can into a travel mug, and when you see that, OBVIOUSLY you'll think Milk is the best source of protein. And in good ad talk, am I alone in that I don't care that that guy interviewing kids is hocking ATT, I just want to see more of them?

There's always a fad food trend that everything has to have, yet isn't exactly hard to utilize. I recall a few years back when suddenly mango was everywhere, which pissed me off because I can't have mangoes due to a medicinal interaction, so like every new food was something I certainly couldn't have. Pretzel bread is just the current one. Which actually saddens me because that means it will go away. Pretzel bread is tasty yo.

I swear the food trends have been declining in exoticness to the US as well. Sure, for a while we had stuff like Acai berry that most people in the US had never heard of, let alone tasted, but now we just have like, different bread and stuff you find in the produce aisle. Watch, eventually it's going to be something super simple like apples or something treated as the hot new flavor.

I want to be mad at that ad, because zombies have become about the most over-done thing today, but that actor at the very end gives pretty much a pitch perfect impression of the "Bub" look of Sherman Howard in Day of the Dead, that countless replicas have failed to do.

Sash! posted:Jimmy John's cornerstones are basic sandwiches, a goofy sense of humor, and delivery drives that are blazed out of their minds. This man tells the truth. Also, the secret to their speed is that they're basically subway without the customization complexity. They're all pretty much just one kind of coldcut or the other, so it takes like two minutes to get your food out the door. You want your food cooked? Go someplace else, jackass.

Nope. I guess the closest we get is this little number https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyWpC3144AU I wonder though, how much money do the pistachio people have to be able to afford all the recognizable celebrities and intellectual properties they also use for little 20 second ads? Because there's a shitton of them.

Not on TV, but around this neck of the woods, the butter council of all people have started putting up billboards, telling you to "GO BOLD WITH BUTTER!" and showing like, baked goods and stuff. I don't even know.

computer parts posted:Usually the way settlements work is that you're paid $X per month for however long (say 5 years). Huh, I thought it was a literal lowball buyout, like "You get a settlement of X distributed over such and such long term. We'll buy that settlement from you for like, 40% of the total payout right now, and they'll start paying us instead."
