  1. I think "clean" is more a religious thing, like "certified kosher." (for eco-friendly, health-conscious, upper-middle-class liberals). FWIW, I've enjoyed everything I've eaten at Panera, and I'm only liberal and eco-sympathetic.
  2. The newest Linzess commercials remind me of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video. I think sampling "I want to be your sledgehammer" would be pretty awesome for a constipation medicine commercial.
  3. I never paid attention to that commercial until it got posted here. I'm not sure "Infiniti is the new gay" was a wise message.
  4. "As you can see in my Dash Cam Pro video, the other driver ran the red light when she was turning her Dash Cam Pro around to get a video of her children having a special moment. In her video, watch for the looks on her kids' faces when her kids' faces collide, and note the time stamp."
  5. I like that spaceship commercial too; it should win an award (of some kind). That song is another fun one to sing ironically at work.
  6. HGTV keeps insisting tiny houses are the next big thing. Maybe they were moving before the city inspector showed up and cited them for code violations.
  7. I saw that too. I was expecting the commercial to advertise some new medicine for a chronic, moderate to severe condition. Square world reminded me of pipes world, origami world, and inflatable plastic world. I was interested in that for work purposes, but they lost me where they suggested using it to capture adorable car trip moments. Parents could, however, put an end to the arguments over which kid hit the other one first.
  8. No! It's a thousand times worse! This one forced me to contemplate the entire production of the commercial... from inspiration, to model casting, to lighting, to camera work... I was unprepared for it when I saw it. ETA: Oh my barf! They made a male version of the commercial, using grass instead of confetti. I was looking the female one up on iSpot and clicked on the male one, thinking it was the same commercial (very similar thumbnails). I'm becoming addicted to iSpot's hilariously bland descriptions of commercials.
  9. Benj Heard's "Having a Good Day" is a major earworm in this Kentucky Tourism commercial: It usually gets stuck in my head during the daily shitfest at work, and I start singing it with bitter irony.
  10. Reed! You're a zombie! I'll just stand still and wait, bro, 'Til you bite my arm.
  11. "Hi... we're from another country, staying next door... Your charming local market is closed for the night... Can we borrow a cup of locusts for dinner?"
  12. When I first heard of Airbnb, I read a lot about it. Those commercials remind me of all the litigation against the company and the "Airbnb horror stories" websites. Do Uber or Lyft have commercials? Airbnb (unregulated motels) and Uber (unregulated taxis) make me ponder the future of the sharing economy. Are we gonna see similar programs for lawyers, doctors, and assassins?
  13. I'm not knocking the commercial itself, but the infographic at 0:10 to 0:14... the guy using the really long leash... show him messing with a phone in his other hand, and that's how most people walk their dogs these days.
  14. The Ninja Coffee Bar commercial with Sofia Vergara has passed saturation point. I'm so sick of seeing it, I may have to stop watching Modern Family until Ninja pulls it.
  15. Thanks to all of you, I got curious and tried some of those Pure Leaf teas. They're actually really good. They have a raspberry one, but it's not as refreshing as the chicken one.
  16. Your post reminded me of the really old "How the Asshole Became Boss" joke: When the body was first created, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control all of the body's responses and functions." The feet said, "We should be Boss since we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go." The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money." Finally, the asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So, the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time, the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic, and the brain fevered. Eventually, they all decided that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit! Moral Of The Story: You don't need a brain to be a Boss----any asshole will do.
  17. I was kinda hoping for a Brita water filter commercial to air during the show.
  18. I despise the Chevy fake focus group commercials. I hate emojis. Oh, joy! They've been combined! Love seeing it ten times a day!
  19. In case you haven't already seen it 192 times today... I started obsessing over this commercial. Specifically, the conception and production of this commerical: When the idea of a talking refrigerator magnet came up, what other fun ethnicities were suggested? What did the casting call for the job look like? How much of that dialogue was scripted before the recording session? Who wrote the script? What's fascinating the hell out of me is imagining the actual recording session. You know it took many, many takes. So what did the rejected takes sound like? Most importantly: What notes was the director giving the voiceover artist?
  20. PTV just needed special channels to keep two times the message lubricant in place...
  21. Are you still having the problem? Notifications haven't given me any problems at all for the last couple days.
  22. I know! It kills me! Whenever I want to do something about it, that little voice in my head says, "erik, if you pry those off, you'll never be able to sell your car for the full $150 it's worth!"
  23. I don't wear clothes with logos on them, so I would have to tape over a logo-projector on my car. Unless Buick or Ford wanted to pay me to advertise for them, of course. I'll submit a suggestion to Lexus that they install projectors to shine an anus on the ground for their drivers.
  24. Yes... what else do you use to grow plastic jack-o-lanterns treat pails?
