    Mario500, have you seen the Allegra commercial?  Here is a link if you'd like to review it.

    This thread is about commercials that irritate and annoy.  I find this commercial annoying.  I don't understand how singing with an angry look on one's face is supposed to make me interested in Allegra's allergy medicine.

     

    "Mario500, have you seen the Allegra commercial?"

    (answer: yes* (prior to message quoted here))

    (*note: likes "commercial")

    (question: why such a cruel message (the one that could not be quoted directly above this question))

    The Allegra commercial with the cranky young woman wearing headphones and singing is incredibly annoying.  Why is she so annoyed if she's taking Allegra and can breath in the spring?  It seems to be on rotation with the Jacuzzi bathtub replacement commercial with the uptalking HGTV flipper host.  🤮

    (question: why the ideas of crankiness and annoyance in the "commercial " mentioned here)

    Yes. And this too:

    But I can’t help wondering if the decision to keep both hosts for now isn’t at least in part to capitalize on the buzz generated by fan outrage?

    Also, having 2 (or more) hosts is a little insurance against social media posters canceling one or the other. These days, they probably do need backups. Plus, as happened recently, Covid, which can be contracted repeatedly due to potentially infinite variants.

    "Covid"?

    I have noticed lately that all the commercials I see for J! feature Ken as host. Could mean nothing, could mean…

    One of my first responses to the McNear interview was that Levar's agent really ought to tell hm to respond to questions about Jeopardy in no more than a few sentences before moving on, but I guess that wouldn't really fly given who he was talking to.

    I wish he could accept that two things can be true - the fix was certainly in WRT Richards (and he might have done better with more rehearsal and different editing), and his own performance was still not exceptional, especially given the way he's built himself up

    "WRT"?

    This afternoon I went to my first social gathering since the advent of Covid.  Sadly, the potluck offerings by my fellow apartment complex dwellers did not reach the heights of The Kit Carson Band's last shindig.  Time for another stab at it, methinks.

    I can start the ball rolling with Caesar Salad with authentic dressing (no need to be afraid of virtual salmonella) and croutons.  I rub raw garlic on the inside of my wooden salad bowl, but, again, no need to fear virtual bad breath.

    "Covid"?
