    And it's finally a NEW J'adore ad! For that reason I wondered if it was a new version of the perfume (e.g. "J'adore Myself" or something).

    Curse you, ivygirl; you got a song stuck in my head with "J'adore Myself":

    Small Talk: We'll Be Right Back

    in Commercials

    I had a joy-of-pet-ownership moment during lunch today; I had to stop eating to go clean poop off my cat's behind (he's still sulking in the corner).  It gave me an idea, however.

    If anyone has any extra money they'd like to invest, I plan to be on Shark Tank next season with a My Shiney Feliney Hiney product line.

    Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

    in Commercials

    For an example of how to keep the romance in a marriage alive, check out this couple's conversation in a Senokot ad that needs to be aired twice in a commercial break.

    She loves her natural vegetable laxative so much that she chooses her clothing and accessorizes her kitchen with a Senokot color palette.

    That look on his face at the end...  The carefully-placed box of Senokot on her purse was the last piece of the puzzle.  He finally realized the meaning of his wife's display of what she cryptically called her "Hiney Lilies:" one orifice would be off limits that night.  Now, whenever she puts yellow flowers in a vase, he will know which activity not to suggest in the bedroom.  If only he had decoded it sooner!

    But, if she was that clever, why didn't she connect the empty bottle of Viagra on his purse with her remark after breakfast that he had "barely touched his sausage?"

    Go away, Sprint guy. How I tire of your shoulders scrunched up around your ears in a permanent shrug, your constant refrain about networks being within 1% of each other, and your smug mug. I hate you in the barber shop, on the park bench, and wherever the hell else you pop up.

    I do not like you in a house.

    I do not like you with a mouse.

    I do not like you here or there.

    I do not like you anywhere.

    I do not like where you began.

    I do not like you, Smug Sprint Man.

    That reminds me of the TV show 'Hoarders.' People on the show whose toilets are broken or clogged like to poop in Target bags because they're thicker than regular grocery bags.

    Ziploc's current slogan is life needs Ziploc.  The precursor for this statement is a bit of 2nd grade theatre called "Cafeteria Chaos" which takes us through the momentary struggle this particular baby is having trying to open her bag of generically traditional potato chips.  She makes a face, she pulls this way and that, until finally, inevitably, the bag explodes open and shards of fried potato go launching into the air, injuring countless children in their wake.   Then we see mom, in the kitchen, avoiding any future calamities altogether by simply putting the baby's snacks in a Ziploc bag.

    A) The snack company that originally bagged her potato chips has mastered the technology of creating pocket dimensions; more chips were in that bag than could actually fit inside the bag.  Her incorrectly opening the bag must have ruffled spacetime.

    B) That scene should have been in black and white.

    First-cousin marriage is legal in several states.

    That's a good point.*

    *I had to quote you and type "good point," because if I had hit the "like" button, it would be forever documented on the internet that I like that first-cousin marriage is legal in several states.

    Sometimes, you just have to think like a criminal or a stupid person to keep things safe.

    It's amazing how many explanations of policies begin with, "That is indeed how a rational person would think; however, our customers..."

    Oh man, I'm so conflicted because...pretentious ad, but also...delivery. They could've had an ad that was literally a voiceover on top of a shot of any dish they serve or their logo etc, saying nothing more than "we deliver now" and they'd have me. I know the ad men get the big bucks for finding some hook but sometimes I'm like your message plain is enough to get my attention.

    100 likes for that.  Their food could stand on its own, without needing my emotional attachment to the brand.  And if I could afford to eat there more often, I would.  Maybe they're just trying to get new customers.  They're going to lose me as a customer.

    Panera can't hold a candle to my foot-sliced avocados, each lovingly toe-sculpted into a beloved cartoon character of your choosing. Or something.

    You could trademark your creations as AvocaToes or Holey-Sockamolies  (I get 10% of the profits now).

    I don't know if it's nationwide or not, but Panera is offering delivery in our area.  I was trying to find that commercial to post.  It's as stupid as their other ones; I think it involves not getting too excited about clean food showing up at your door or something.  When I went to Panera's YouTube channel to look for the delivery commercial, their video that auto-played began with, "Clean food.  Words you don't often hear."  Really?  I hear those words every 20 minutes, thanks to Panera saturation.

    I've posted before that I like their food, but I just don't want to go near them anymore.

    But surely the person wanting salad can get their salad from someplace else while everyone else is getting pizza?  Which, to me, is the annoying part of the commercial - there are at least four places within walking distance of my house which does pizza and decent salads.

    As I was reading this, there was a question on Jeopardy! about "salad days" being the time when one is young and inexperienced.  I think that was the universe burping or something.

    The Cheerios ads with the moms and kids dancing is one of my favorites. I also like the new one with the dads and kids dancing

    I hadn't seen the Dads one before.  Bubba twerking was pretty awesome.  Those are infinitely nicer to watch than the awful "I like your face" kid.

    I HATE this Chrissy Teigen TRESemmé commercial. "They even put a big number 1 & a number 2 so you don't get confused" Errrrrrr, & then at the end she screams "with TRESemmé!" Why does she scream it?

    Focus groups unexpectedly giggled at the commercial's first edit, in which she screamed, "I just did Number Two in my hair!"
