Well, their spokesperson is the president of the school (Paul LeBlanc). That's what presidents of universities get to do. They speak at commencements, which is what they're showing.
Let SNHU graduates be forced to endure the windbag's speeches. Let's get John Stamos to be a new spokesperson for SNHU. He can talk about whatever he wants.

Hate all the commercials for Southern New Hampshire University. Its spokesperson must love to hear himself talk, because they show a montage of him addressing graduates for the last ten or fifteen years. One of the channels I watch shows the ads on endless loop. I just about have the dialogue memorized.

It was a bit strange that they all thought of a tentacled beast when thinking of claustrophobic situations. No one thought of trapped in an elevator or kid in the closet/under the bed with a monster.
Personally, I think being trapped in one’s car with a monster, driving down a highway, would be scary.
The banker didn’t look like he was sitting on a toilet. They should have put his pants around his ankles. I thought the expressions of the drowning girl were amazing—not the drowning girl with the potato chip sized life raft. Had to laugh when Shinman was presented with the bone marrow treat. She generally complains about things being too sweet. Not this time, hun. Blech! I wouldn’t go near that for anything. Saw a different Halloween cooking show where a contestant dipped his hand in red food coloring and dragged it across a plate. Blood spatter is what these treats need.

I didn’t understand the purpose of the dancers before the ceremony, or the painters at the reception, but it was a Stacy production after all, and maybe the purpose of the dancers was to distract guests from realizing they waited over an hour for her to show up. I noticed the same thing about her dress not fitting. When her mother came into the dressing room, there was a shot of the dress zipped up. It was a strange dress anyway; it seemed to stand apart from her body, but it looked like she had a bodysuit on underneath it. For spending $150K on her wedding, I expected she would change into a second dress for the reception.
Guardzilla’s dad said the 21st shot was aimed directly at his head but she stopped it somehow. Even my husband, watching his 1000th YouTube video on his tablet about engine compression, or something, perked up to hear that. Wish every blouse or shirt she wore wasn’t cut down to her navel. Does she think it’s attractive to reveal her sagging breasts?
In Episode 1, did I hear Coco say she is 38? If she’s 38, I’m a Russian cosmonaut.

Is this the worst cast show on earth? I can't tell if it's low budget, or if it's just produced by the host and judges - so we can't get rid of them. Shinmin is so frigid and unlikeable it's cringey. Todd is painfully just okay and boring. Jonathon is possibly the least convincing and most un-funny judge ever. What the actual fuck Food Network?
Thank you. One of our local PBS stations used to broadcast town hall meetings. I'm starting to think that might be more interesting...

i commented about this one somewhere upthread — neither emus nor ostriches bury their heads in the sand. But it’s a beach volleyball strategy Doug is explaining.
Thank you for explaining. (I'm) Once a nerd, always a nerd, I guess.

There’s a ”Libbity” Mutual ad with Doug and the emu at a beach. It looks like Doug is trying to explain a football strategy to the emu, but the bird has its head in the sand. I thought ostriches buried their heads in the sand. Why are they showing an emu doing this? What is Doug drawing in the sand? I think I’m losing it...

I’ve gone back several pages but haven’t seen mentioned the “fruit bowls” commercial with the SCREAMING CHILDREN and two women sitting on the couch. The one woman asks the other if having fruit bowls was her (the other woman’s) idea. No reason either of them cannot maintain some sort of order in that household, even if it means the little darlings have to go to their rooms until they can conduct themselves like sane humans. Hate all the fruit bowls commercials.
What is it lately with all the ads about how difficult it is to make hard boiled eggs? Saw an air fryer/toaster oven with some random creepy red-bearded guy cooking about 3 dozen hard boiled eggs in the air fryer and I surmised it must be a caterer using it that way, because I’ve never seen so hard boiled eggs in my life.

The challenge was “Blind Date from Hell.” Catfish had no companion/date and was deemed by the judges to not be scary or Halloweenish. The other team, whose arm was said to be made of rice cereal treats covered with cake, mysteriously fell off a wall and broke. Their two characters had expressions and their vignette was interesting. They didn’t complete it 100% because of the arm accident, but it was still better than Catfish’s. Everybody failed on the treats, especially the thick “tickets.” I had hoped the team with the movie marquee would have had time to do more sugar work for their marquee lights.

Was anyone else underwhelmed by the themes or the talent? I admire the carving and the sugar work, but I think the producers have run out of ideas. Maybe they could just give six teams one week to prepare their Halloween masterpiece based on [whatever criteria] and let the viewers check in once a week (a day's time for the bakers) to see how things are progressing.

My mom was born in raised in the heart of Mineapolis and said "warsh" as well - she also called the finished basement the "root cellar." Just for the record, we never stored food down there, unless it was in the freezer!
You and I are probably related. My father always called our refrigerator the "ice box."
I know it's been mentioned upthread, but I'm really sick of the "Safe drivers save 40%" that shows the Allstate guy trying to order food at a counter. Everybody in the commercial starts chanting that like a bunch morons.

One of the commercials for one of those walk in tubs drives me crazy. There's a lady who is (by her own admission) over 60, and she had almost fallen in the tub, and says "When you reach 60, you have to realize there are limitations." Really? So when you turn 60, you automatically have "limitations"? Like you're infirm all of a sudden. I hope no one tells my 67 year old mother in law that.
I am 57 and I'm noticing more and more commercials talk about the age of 60 as if it's all over then. "One in three people aged 60 and over run serious risks from falling..." I guess I only have a few more years to post on here before I'm laid up somewhere unable to do much besides watching "The Andy Griffith Show." If in the future you read of a nursing home resident suddenly turning violent because she had been subjected to watching "Gomer Pyle" incessantly, you'll know it's me.

I dont have cable or satellite so it's just an antenna for me. I watch a lot of METV.
They run an ad all the time showing clips from some of their line up. It includes Fred Flintstone screaming yabba daba doooooo! And Carol burnett screaming like Tarzan.
Cant stand either of them or their shows and me tv picks the most annoying sounds from those two. Those two sounds are pitched enough to carry through my entire house even though the volume isnt up.
Thank you. I thought it was just me. They also show her gushing about her great friends Jim Nabors and Alan Alda. I hate everything about the Gomer Pyle show; it's a mystery how that ever stayed on the air as long as it did. Ugh.

I know it’s supposed to be funny but I hate the Limu Emu and Doug Liberty Mutual commercials. . Actually I kind hate most of Liberty Mutuals commercials which is kinda funny because I enjoy most of the Progressive Insurance commercials
I'm perplexed by the one that shows Doug reminiscing about the "one that got away," as if he were referring to some former romantic partner, and then the commercial cuts to a 70s Doug in an elevator with Farrah Fawcett hair and he's blathering on to the back of some guy's head. Did Doug just start into a sales pitch to a guy who wasn't even facing him? When the guy stepped off the elevator, Doug fell to his knees and cried out, "Nooo!!!" I really don't get it. He's distraught because of a failed sales pitch and still brooding about it all these years later?

If people hadn't seen the original commercial, he IS Jake from State Farm. It's just like when the soap operas used to change an actor and eventually everybody got used to it.
The way Pam Ewing show Bobby in the shower ("It was all a bad dream, honey.") and got accustomed to having her husband around again.

I’ve seen the commercial to which QuinnInND is referring. The woman is obese—there’s no other way to say it. Yes, she’s dancing around and eating ice cream. I don’t need to review her medical records to know that her excess weight is causing a strain on her joints, heart and other organs. This makes me think of all the arguments that people use for smoking cigarettes. We can make unhealthy lifestyle choices, but let’s not pretend that those choices don’t come with a price—heart disease, diabetes, shorter lives, etc.

Why so many commercials lately featuring women who haven’t shaved their underarms or legs since the Ice Age? The ads for “Billy” are the worst; they demonstrate the razor in action, removing a thick clump of gnarly underarm hair. Blech! No one needs to see THAT to understand what razors are for.

OMG, yes - most of those dresses are hideous, especially that enormous pink frock.
But they could also be used as small pup tents, so there is some value in that.
Don't know if the commercial for Comfort Inn has been mentioned lately. It features a woman singing "On the Road Again" in an off-tune way that drives me nuts. Shoot, I can't sing and I would sound better.

As JJ points out, $2600 would be a good deal for painting the home, and defendant should be paid a lot more for everything else he did.
Plaintiff boyfriend explained at least three times to JJ that defendant was already doing work painting the kitchen and was paid separately for that. JJ must have asked at least three times if defendant was getting paid $2,600 for painting the kitchen.
16 hours ago, CrazyInAlabama said:Plaintiff gets nothing, defendant gets $1400 (he should have asked for more).
It seemed as if JJ was ready to give defendant up to the $5K max if he had asked for it. Not her usual cheapskate self.

Wedding Dress Distress-(the case where the plaintiff designer/seamstress did the wedding dress, and is wearing what looks like a bunch of black garbage bags made into a dress, including a huge bow for court)-
Yes, all I could think of was, "Hefty, hefty hefty!"

Housekeeper Steals Customers-Plaintiff cleaning service owner suing former employee for soliciting clients away from her business. Defendant was hired with a contract, to do cleaning services, and contract said no stealing clients. One of the ex-clients, and present client of defendant is the witness.
I considered JJ's decision on this case to be controversial, not the one about the website design services. Client asked the housecleaner when she would be back to clean, and the cleaner replied she would no longer be working for The Company. Client was dismayed and expressed a desire to keep her services; she trusted the cleaner, she was reliable, she did good work. Cleaner told the client she was starting her own business. Judy ruled this was solicitation on the part of the cleaner, but I disagree. The cleaner didn't volunteer this information until she was asked. What was she supposed to say when the client asked her about her future work? All I could imagine was a ridiculous game of charades between the housecleaner and the client until the truth came out.

The Andy Griffith show needs to be given a rest for awhile.
I can only take so much Gomer Pyle.
They have a funny commercial about "Mayberry Confidential," but I agree about Gomer Pyle. It is sheer torture to even watch trailers for that show. They show Carol Burnett interviews ad nauseum about her good friends Alan Alda (cut to M*A*S*H), Jim Nabors (cut to Carol Burnett guesting on Gomer Pyle), and just about everybody. I record Mission: Impossible every week, and my husband and I snicker about those unbelievable plots where timing is everything and no man can resist Cinnamon Carter. Plus, Steven Hill was in the first season and he turned up later on Law & Order.

So-called father said if son didn't go to college, that father would take away the son's dog.
I think the father said if the son went to college, he would not be permitted to keep the dog in his college dorm room, so the father's plan was that Luna would come back to the compound. The father must be some sort of Svengali, because JJ allowed him much more leeway than usual to talk, reminisce and generally just ramble on and on about all the house rules at that house. Cloey spoke like a hostage. Luna refused comment.
Don't you have to be licensed to be a day trader? The son probably saw "Wall Street" and figured that was the life for him. Son's mom seemed to want to be a friend to her son, not a parent.

Bridezillas - General Discussion
in Bridezillas
· Edited by Ilovecomputers
This is an incredibly boring and predictable show. Let’s examine some of the fakery: A. Guardzilla refuses to sign a prenup and her fiancé threatens to not go through with the wedding; (He went through with it anyway.) B. Guardzilla’s father (with the unnatural attachment to his princess daughter) threatens to not show up for the wedding because 1) his daughter didn’t keep her maiden name and 2) princess daughter lied to him about keeping her maiden name and duped him into buying her $6,500 wedding gown. (Dad showed up anyway.) C.) Guardzilla’s bridesmaid refuses to sign a code of conduct contract and will not be welcome at the wedding (She showed up anyway.) Aren’t both the bride and groom former corrections officers? How is he able to pay for 150k wedding? How did he amass his wealth?
Can’t remember the name of the bride introduced in episode 3 I think she is an eyelash artist, and her husband-to-be works on an oil rig She looks like she’s had lots of Botox or something; her frozen face isn’t capable of showing any scowls or big smiles She likes to talk about penises a lot Klassy! Her parents offered her 5K to not let the wedding preparations/wedding be filmed for TV. Bride is totally self-absorbed. I think her parents don’t want all this on camera for fear her obnoxious behaviour will be blamed on their poor parenting.
Do these bridezillas get paid to be on the show? I was married in a small wedding almost 20 years ago. I didn’t ask my attendant to sign a code of conduct contract. She could wear any color/style dress she wanted. We had an outdoor wedding at a venue that didn’t provide a cake, so we had to have one delivered. It might have rained and the cake might not have shown up, but we had contingent plans in place. And in the end, you’re not responsible for anyone’s behaviour but your own.
