Reebok put out a new commerical and I have no idea what to make of it. In the middle of a pick up basketball game, an Asian girl starts dancing strangely. The players and spectators ensue. I don't know what the song is and the whole thing makes me feel old.

Mountain Dew, but for gamerzzz, makes me laugh. Complete with TACTICAL CAN!

I think they just pulled some old horror movie footage.

Yeah, feels like it cuts away just before all their heads explode.

Meanwhile, the song in this Citi commercial makes me wish I was dead, because my brain replays it constantly, with increasingly irritating lyrics:

The ones that jerk off the “go getters” and the “doers” are the loving worst. Yes, you could spend your whole loving life raising kids, working two jobs, taking night classes and spending your free time on your side hustle, but maybe life shouldn’t have to be about getting heart attacks in your mid-30s.

And if you want some free time to just spend time with your kids or enjoy life or a hobby that doesn’t immediate earn you (more likely your boss or some gig company) more money? You’re just a lazy sack of poo poo who’s going to get left behind and it’s all your fault.

Aaron Rogers has charisma, you've obviously never seen the Nationwide commercials with Peyton Manning

Gonna throw a challenge flag on that one.

Rogers gets the benefit of not doing much talking in his commercials, but the implication, for several years running is that he has no life, and only hangs out with his agents (one of which is also a huge moron.) And yet, he comes off as arrogant. Patrick Mahomes is involved somehow too.

True, Manning gets a further knock against him for having a jingle.

Not sure which insurance is featuring Baker Mayfield, but those at least he makes fun of himself.

There's also John Hamm as "smug, oddly fit Santa" shilling for the World Cup. At least those should go away soon.

Currently trying not to go insane because Hulu stopped working with my adblockers enabled.

Between that and live sports, the current theme seems to be "Horrible singing"

I feel like we've been making fun of drug ads since I was a kid, at least, and they're getting worse all the time. It all feels just as bad as Happy Fun Ball, and that was supposed to be a joke. The real solution is just to not advertise prescription drugs to consumers, but that's also not profitable to do so we'll keep getting this poo poo.

I only dimly recall the time before deregulated TV. The ads still sucked, but at least they weren't 100% drug commercials.

But on the plus side, haven't seen an ad for boner-pill in ages.

It's going to be a rough one. My elderly Dad lives with me, so there's plenty of broadcast TV on.
