  1. I'm late by apparently a couple months, but are you talking about "League of Super Pets", animated movie featuring Krypto the Super-Dog, Ace the Bat-Hound, etc (but surprisingly no Streaky the Super-Cat, Supergirl's answer to Krypto)?
  2. To be fair, "Holiday Commercials" doesn't mean Christmas (though clearly yours was), so posting in this thread in September (the month before Halloween and Canadian Thanksgiving, and only 2 months before American Thanksgiving) isn't some unforgivable sin even if it hadn't been a Christmassy commercial.
  3. And that would be why I thought Night Visions, because of the shared 'Night' in the title coupled with two-word title. Thank you so very much, the woman in that picture definitely looks like the one I remember from the episode I was referring to, although I don't remember it well enough to say if any of the rest of it does.
  4. Got another one for you fine folks (even though I'm still waiting for an answer to my last one, about the anime/cartoon with giant/alien insects): This was a horror anthology series (think "Twilight Zone", "Night Gallery", "Night Visions", "Tales from the Crypt", "Tales from the Darkside"). I only saw'remember one episode, and not very well. What I do remember is that it centered around a woman who, if memory serves, was either going somewhere new or just taking a new route to somewhere she typically went, drove by an old house, and started having deja vu sensations/vivid memories of having lived there before. Something along those lines. Thematic similarities to the original book/1960s movie/1990s remake of "The Haunting of Hill House" (but not the 2010s series, which is itself now an anthology series with the next season being based on "The Turn of the Screw"), in that, again if memory serves, it turned out that in a past life she had actually lived there, and possibly in fact died there. Or possibly just the spirit of a woman who had died there was entering her body and making her remember living there, or something. Until earlier today, a)I would have thought it might have been from "Night Visions" and/or b)I would have also been trying to find "Night Visions" based on memories of an episode where a dome appears in a desert and inside the dome is a lush grassy area with a house and a family inside.
  5. I have a cousin named Sherry and a former classmate in my high school days named Misty, both were born in/after 1982.
  6. I have to thank whoever it was back on (I forget whether it was Previously or TWoP at the time), if they're still there, for helping me remember Happy Castle in the thread like this one back there, from only the clues "a human girl named Hope", "the villain had a monster-puppet henchthing", and "there was a fountain or well or something that talked". That said, I have a new one (that I may or may not have asked about back then/there) that's bothering me. I've never seen it, only heard someone mention it, but one thing stuck in my mind. It's an anime, and the only thing I know/remember is that there was some kind of invasion of the Earth by alien bugs (from the way the person talking about it said it, it sounded like they were just normal bugs like we see here on Earth already, but bigger and possibly sapient), and there was apparently a scene where someone wakes p from a dream of a normal life, if I remember what the person had said, only to find him/herself in a pile of bodies with a giant centipede crawling on his/her face. I thought it was The Sky Crawlers, for some reason (probably because the 'crawling' stuck out to me), but I bought a DVD of that a few years back and it's nothing like that, it's just clone soldiers fighting a 'spectator war' to sate mankind's bloodlust to prevent any actual wars from happening or something like that.
  7. Funny, since the ad's point is that they're not identical, that new Buicks can look like anything from old Buicks to sporty fancy rides. The person correcting the other person's gaze is doing so because the other person is looking at what their idea of a Buick is, aka the old model 'old person's car' type, when the 'no, I meant that Buick' person's Buick is miles away from the expected.
  8. Not sure if this is the place for it or if I should post it in the "Site Business" -> "Bugs, Questions & Suggestions" section: Way back, when this site was still TWoP, I seem to remember there being a thread for creepy commercials. Am I misremembering that/was it actually just the "Commercials that make you scratch your head" thread but at the time it was overloaded with creepy ones, or is that another thread that got deleted/lost in one of the domain changes or something?
  9. I don't watch much TV lately, has anyone seen the creepy incest-ish Folgers commercial yet? Or did they stop using that one because of people either complaining about the implications or shipping Peter and his sister?
  10. That's Mrs. Butterworth's, not Aunt Jemima. I'm pretty sure Mrs. Butterworth is meant to be white, she just looks darker-skinned because of the syrup/the material the bottle's made of/whatever.
  11. So I was watching Good Mythical Morning today (yes, in the evening, I do things weird xD ), and the third video of the day was a commercial-based guessing game. The last commercial they showed (which I managed to find the commercial itself on YouTube) was this (YT: 1987 - Jordache Jeans - Old Man Commercial) . What was Jordache/the ad agency they used thinking? I mean "we just killed an old man, let's go buy jeans"? And the sound design, or possibly the degradation of quality over the years, or both, makes it extra creepy. I get shivers not just down my spine but throughout my whole body when the "NO!" at the beginning plays.
  12. Nope. It's based on "would I say 'I' or 'me' if I was talking about just me?" So for a sentence like "I went to the store", it'd be "My friends and I went to the store". For one like "There was a lot there for me to buy", it'd be "There was a lot there for me and my friends to buy".
  13. To be fair (having never seen the commercial), if she's saying 'me and my single girls do something', then you're right, but if she's saying 'something about me and my single girls', then she's right.
  14. I just looked it up, and apparently there's a series of them (MailShrimp, JailBlimp, KaleLimp), and they're ads for an email marketing service called MailChimp.
  15. What does that have to do with it? Crawling through a doggy door is likely to get anyone arrested, because it makes you look like you're doing a B&E, and even corrupt and/or racist cops know that white people commit crimes too.
  16. Is this the commercial you're talking about? Because if so, I definitely hear 'single cup or a carafe'.
  17. This time of year every year (or at least the last two), Cineplex (in Canada? Don't know if they have cinemas outside of this country) has been putting out a commercial, not strictly holiday-related but one can see the connection, promoting 'sharing the magic' (of film) with loved ones. I don't know whether I love it or hate it, but I do know that both of them provoke a strong emotional reaction in the form of 'not-so-manly tears' (as opposed to the 'single manly tear' stereotype, not saying crying isn't 'manly'). The first one: Lily and the Snowman The second: A Balloon For Ben
  18. I just looked it up, it's "An' off you go", not "Owf you go".
  19. He definitely looked like the Universal classic Frankenstein's Monster, at least I was easily able to make that connection - and there was nothing prior to where you say you came in that should have made it obvious, up to that point he's just playing a music box (the one that he replays from his phone while he's singing), singing under his breath while sitting in a chair, and you don't even see his face until he gets to the tree iirc.
  20. That one sounds so familiar! I can't remember what it was, though. Can't help but think how much hate it would get if the 'bottle-holder' was a guy and the 'voodoo-dolled' was a woman, though, and I remember the version that did air getting praise and laughs.
  21. Their rights to not have their SACRED tv time ASSAULTED by TEH GEY, of course.
  22. Excuse me? Did you just 'blecccch' gelato? Clearly you've never had the right gelato. There's a place near me, called Humani-T Cafe, that makes and sells their own gelato (and vegan gelato, and sorbetto - somewhere between 'dairy-free gelato' and 'sorbet/sherbet', sherbet in the North American meaning rather than the powdery confection that is British sherbet), and it is better than ice cream by a factor of at least 5.
  23. Designed to appeal to (the internet at large's idea of) Reddit, I take it. (The whole 'Redditor secret handshake' thing that in reality most Redditors actually hate and it's perpetuated to this day by 'rival' aggregator sites 9gag and 4chan making fun of Reddit - "When does the narwhal bacon" "At midnight.")
  24. You're talking like the West 7 are the only scavs. There's been no indication that's the case, they're just the most prolific and dangerous. EDIT: Also, did you see "The Red Forest"? With only one minor change (Deacon being dead and Ramse being in charge), they were able to completely overrun the Splinter facility and set up shop.
