Yes, it's September 5th. Yes, I'm posting in the Holiday Commercials thread.
Because, just a moment ago, there was already an Airwick ad that talked about "this holiday season"!
IT'S NOT EVEN MID-SEPTEMBER. Summer is not OFFICIALLY over!
I like the holidays, but this is BEYOND ridiculous!
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.

This sounds EXACTLY like the third episode of season one of Night Gallery.. The House, with Joanna Pettet. Written by Rod Serling, but based on a story by Andre Maurois.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0660797/?ref_=ttep_ep4
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.

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. -

character names in media are either very dated (a recent book set in 2012 had ten-year old girls named Misty and Sherry as if It was 1965) or too modern (a book set in 1964 with a female Madison).
I have a cousin named Sherry and a former classmate in my high school days named Misty, both were born in/after 1982.

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. -

virtually identical, like they are now
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.

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? -
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?

My problem with the KFC chicken and waffles ad isn't the product (chicken and waffles are really good). It's the combination of iconography of a barely post civil war image of a white Southern "colonel" (born 1890) with a barely post war image of a black Aunt Jemima (created 1889).
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.

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.-

No; one of the rules of grammar is that you put yourself last.
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".

And the other lady who start smirking about "me and my single girls..." AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGG! I so want to red pen edit her script, "my single girlfriends and I..."
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.

And then there's an even more baffling one about mail shrimp (YT: MailShrimp - mail shrimp) (YT: MailShrimp - mail shrimp)
and I don't even know what it's advertising! Some guy is eating a shrimp sandwich and I swear to God it looks like a penis sticking out of the bread singing to him. Very disturbing.

(Actually, at the end I saw "MaleShrimpFilm.com" so I'm guessing it's a movie.)
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.

Dude, speaking as a Black male, it doesn't matter if you are wearing a suit and have every right to be there, I can assure that trying to crawl through a doggy door in a affluent neighborhood will probably result in your arrest.
Or worse.
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.

I'm sure this has been discussed to death elsewhere but I had to post due to my rapidly growing hatred for everything Sophia Veraga. So as much as I would love to splurge on a Ninja Coffee Bar...I won't. Because WTF is a cringle/crinkle cup of coffee? How hard is it to pronounce "single" unless you'e Cindy Brady with her lisp?
Is this the commercial you're talking about?
Because if so, I definitely hear 'single cup or a carafe'.-

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-

What bugs me about the commercial is that the dad isn't concerned that his son has friends, he wants his son to be the center of attention. It's all about who gets the most likes, who has the most followers, etc. It's not about if his kid is able to make real friends.
Black Mirror, Nosedive.

Maybe I am nitpicking here, but the Quaker Oaks ad has a jingle that goes: "Owf you go, owf you go". HOW did this pronunciation become okay?
I just looked it up, it's "An' off you go", not "Owf you go".

I don't care for the Frankenstein's monster commercial either. I know it's supposed to be touching but I find it creepy. It's weird that he doesn't look like the traditional Frankenstein's monster... the first time I saw this commercial I came in midway through and only saw him start to sing. Was confused about the glowing lights around his head. I actually thought he was Ebenezer Scrooge, he looks more like a traditional Scrooge. The worst part of it all is that I can't even remember what it is advertising.
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.

I can remember the commercial clearly from start to finish except for the name of the product.
A group of three women are at a table and one woman has a drink (in a bottle). She looks at a guy at the bar and he looks back, smiles, and turns away. She looks down at the bottle and turns it around. Then he turns around like he's forced. She moves the bottle from side to side and he does the same. She picks up the bottle and puts it down and he hops. She then starts to peel the neck label off and he unbottons his shirt. She then rips the main label off. He looks down slowly, and it cuts back to the three women who are looking at him, the main girl rather happy.
It was in English, and the tag line was something like "Want to be naughty?" or "Want to try something naughty?" (I remember the word 'naughty'.) Pretty sure it was American.
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.

What rights are you referring to? And where is the "there" they went to?
Their rights to not have their SACRED tv time ASSAULTED by TEH GEY, of course.

I beg to differ. Frozen custard is not ice cream, and neither is gelato. Bleccch.
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.

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.")

If their biggest problem is one sociopath with a gang, use their technology to kill that guy. Nothing else seems so wrong with the world that they should all be in such a hurry to erase themselves instead of going forward.
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.
"In A World....." Movie and TV Show Trailers
in Commercials
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)?
