I'm so tired of this damn OxiClean commercial about getting all the mud out of the bottom of a white wedding dress when the wedding was going to be held in a freaking barn! These two nit wits are acting like it's a miracle that the OxiClean removed the mud stains when they should have arranged for the bride to have a 2nd outfit on hand for afterwards so none of this would have happened in the first place. It makes the women look like idiots especially the bride for choosing a dress WITH A TRAIN to wear for her barn wedding.
What the hell was the previous bride doing?? Rounding up pigs?

EXACTLY! They even tried playing it down that Cam's "office" was the janitor's closet and it wasn't funny. Because there is no way there wouldn't be a main office or at least be part of the PE department. It made no sense and after that it was never shown again. Such a cheap punch line that made no sense at all.
Trust me, no football coach I have ever known would settle for a closet for an office.

I think the Love to the Rescue commercials, where you can get an "adowable, wuv to the wescue bwanket" is the Shriners Hospital. I can't help but get creeped out by the Shriners and their hats that look like a larger version of the one Howard Cunningham wore. What gets me is that those children probably have prosthetics but they are made to remove them for the commercial to garner more sympathy. I applaud what the Shriners are trying to do, but these commercials get overwhelming after a while. Don't even get me started on the animal ones.
My husband keeps telling mr he is going to send me a Wuv to the Wescue blanket! These kids make it sound like Evil Doctors and Cruel Society was going to lock them away until.....your donations saved them!
Cosentyx and their "See me!" ads can stop now, too.

I actually thought Gloria was going to one-up Jay in the smarts department by selling both her business AND her family's farm (or at least some poor relatives' land, making them wealthy) to NERP. And I thought Jay was picking up on this when he sat back and started considering Gloria as she told her story about her "familia" and the river, etc. It was hugely disappointing when it turned out they were both idiots.
The Phil/Claire thing about working out and aging was the better story, and deserved more attention. "Sometimes I'm hungry at 5!" Indeed.
Bolding mine - sometimes I am hungry at five, go to bed at nine and I love comfortable shoes. (Dansko, I am not THAT old) and I am fine with all those things!!!!

Okay, two commercial I love: Larry Fitzgerald calling his mom's answering machine to tell her he got his degree....tears!!! The second one? Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews in adjoining hotel rooms, with Clay Mattews signing "I'm like a bird, I'll fly away......" cracks me up every time.
-
Okay, before anyone runs me out of town with pitchforks and torches with this next commercial I can't stand, allow me to preface with the facts that I am a caring and concerned mom, love kids in general and I am a special education teacher. I spend my days advocating for those with intellectual and or physical disabilities. I am a volunteer for the Spaecial Olympics (50 years old this year!! Yeah!)
The commercial in question? "Love to the Rescue for St. Jude's." That little kids with the dark hair talking about, with a lisp, "Wuv to the Wescue" makes me want to hurl. Then we see a PARADE of kids with serious disbilities talking about how now they can play basketball, play baseball, heck, now they can exist on Planet Earth because you made a donation. Plus the damn thing goes on for what seems like an eternity. "Imagine a place where kids were once told they would NEVER amount to ANYTHING!!!! THAT KID WAS ME!!" says Alec.
It is SO heavy handed - we get it!!!!
I will show myself to hell now......

I used to defend this show when it comes to people just falling into careers with no training or background, but that is getting harder to do.
And on the bolded part, a football coach is by no means a part time position. Nor is an acting assistant principal,
Either one of those jobs would have his phone buzzing non-stop and keeping him up at night. Let alone both jobs.
Okay, per Cam being made an ADMIN after being a Long Term Sub and football coach....teachers would be quitting in protest. I am a special ed teacher (former daily sub so I get it) and the first thing is this: the salary difference alone would be, depending on your region, $100-$125 for daily subbing (let's say you have 189 school days, there is $23,635, annually. A long term sub (three months or so) may make more than that, roughly $200 a day, now we are to $37,000 or so. An admin makes around $110,000 or so per year. SO yeah.....to see a sub and football coach get promoted to admin......yeah there would be a revolt. There are going to be wildly different numbers for different regions, but you get the idea.
Per Luke: Hey Claire - your son has an aptitude for getting things done and it is good worker. Maybe get him a job like your dad got YOU a job at Closets Closets Closets?

"I gave you life!!!!"
I have no idea, but that line cracked me the hell up. I think it must have been the delivery.
At least Luke is going to a community college, because no way would he be helped by a four year program. He would be miserable, and probably fail anyway, just because education in that form is not for him. I mean, I work in higher ed, I think its great, and necessary to get most entry level jobs even, but there is more to high ed than traditional four year colleges. Community colleges and trade schools are higher education too, and are often a much better option for some students. And thats fine. Its certainly better for Luke.
Do the writers have no idea how being a lawyer works? Even just from watching legal shows? Because law isnt just one thing, and its pretty hard to jump from one kind of law to another. And being a prosecutor is really hard, even beyond send people to jail. He wont make much money, have a huge case load, and he wont have a badge or whatever they said. I am legit confused here!
I agree again per Luke: I have two kids....one is clearly more community college material, he was a good B student, a few C's, he is just unsure of his path. Money wise, it made sense for him to the CC route, and he LOVES it. Second one? Dropped him off at a major university as that is the place for him. He loves it there. Too many kids are pushed down the college path when a trade school, military, or other schooling would be the best bet.
I did love Cam getting stuck in the back while Mitchell is syncing up with the cop!!! That was funny. "He gets a nickname?"

Any episode with no Manny is a good one for me. And no Alex and no Joe was nice too. The less focus on the kids, the better. Because none of them can act for shit.
This one felt like old-school MF in some respects and the newer cartoonish MF in others. The Mitch and Cam stuff wasn't bad, but they should really give up on trying to make Mitchell's law career in anyway realistic. Because it's absurd.
Why does Luke "have" to go to college? He's a terrible student and has no academic ambitions. American culture has been pushing the "college is a must" for so long that so few people even question it anymore.
Bolding mine: I agree 100%. The last place I would drop Hailey or Luke off is college, dropping some serious coin to do so. (Let's face it they ain't scholorship material.) Let Luke work, maybe look into some technical classes, but this college college college rant needs to stop. Full disclosure: I work in middle schools and high schools and most of them are NOT college material. At all.
I knew Jay was going to screw up Gloria's deal - typical alpha male thinking he knowa best. But Gloria brought it on herself by not admitting she knew Jay was right. Oh well....taht decision is gonna cost you, Gloria!

Definitely not minimizing COPD - I knew a few people who had it - but that commercial is just so over-dramatic and over the top that it's laughable.
My mom had COPD before she passed, I never thought of the poster minimizing COPD - my mom would have laughed at the commercial. It is just so over the top! Shirley is straight up gangster mean while Mary is bursting with light!!!

Yep, the hard j. It surprised me at the time because I'd always pronounced more like "gee-ro" but maybe it's a regional thing. It's been more than 20 years since I was in Greece, specifically Crete, so I don't remember what I heard there. Weirdly enough, the place in Matala where we got gyros served them with the French fries inside rather than accompanying them; I've never seen that anyplace else since.
And I promise, that's my last word on gyros.
I am kind of amused by the Arby's ad, though.
Bolding mine: My ex husband (notice a key word there) mispronounced that word all. the. time. Once we went to country fair and he kept looking for a gyro stand and he must have said the damn word one hundred times. So any commercial with that word will be a mute ASAP from me. Thank you - happily remarried to a man who knows how to pronounce the word. (Ex would say JI-RO with a hard J, I was like, it is yee-row but no....... I think it bugged me because he wouldn't shut up about it, not the way he said it.)

I hate that stupid Kyleena commercial where the women freak out about forgetting their birth control pills. I have to mute it every time.
Yeah, my hubby makes some rather off color comments on the intentions of the couple whenever it comes on!!

Can't stand Leslie Mann's voice. At all. When I first saw that ad I thought, "Aren't you married to Judd Aptow? You need to earn $$ from shilling lotion?"

Oh No! Match.com has a new addition to its "lame ass, horrific actors". His name is Taylor. And he's being filmed filming himself with his cell phone.
Hey Taylor, I know someone who would REALLY like you. Her name is Courtney....go find her!
"Come find me!" Why? So I can listen to your nasal voice all damn day? Mute her ASAP.
I know it has probably been discussed here before but the Charmin commercials (is it Charmin?) where they say: "You might as well enjoy the go!" No, I don't want to enjoy it, I want to go ASAP and get the heck outta there!! Am I supposed to be enjoying the "go" all this time?

Alex was in on the joke.
Gabriel Iglesias is way busier than Benjamin Bratt so he wouldn't be more available.
No, I get that Alex was in on it - I am thinking (way too much about it on a Saturday night, lol) that Jay would want something a little more scientific than Alex. I have a stellar "Actual Factual Science Son" with access to awesome labs in college, but I would send it away to a third party. Yes, I need a life.

Gloria's prank was both cruel, and pretty hilarious. "I didn't realize this prank was going to go so far. You made grandpa cry".
The physical comedy with the apartment falling apart was hilarious, and I loved the magic super mop.
I agree - it was cruel but still pretty funny. I never understood how two hot parents had.......Manny.

Wow. I had a very casual, outdoor wedding at 4 PM on a Saturday, at my parents' house. I wanted a cocktail party kind of feel so people would have drinks and snacks, and be able to go home or out to dinner or something after. We had lovely passed hors d'oeuvres and snacks, lots and lots of booze, and everyone had a ball. I never thought a full, sit down meal was required. Good thing, because we couldn't afford it.
See, a 4pm wedding in a backyard, i would expect a more casual vibe and it is still too early for dinner. It is the 6pm wedding that dinner is an expectation. Passed apps amd booze? Hell yes. 6pm then offer us mints, nuts and charge for a jack and coke? No.

Miles, the mob accountant, goes into the Witness Protection Program and becomes a college English professor? I don't think so, unless in GG land there's a fake college where all the faculty are in the WPP.
I hated that whole storyline BUT I love the name Samuel Plankmaker as an alias. That, and "What are they gonna do? Call me?"

Ugh, huge pet peeve of mine, the battle cry of, "No one cares about dinner." I ACTUALLY heard that from a girl whose wedding I was in. She had appetizers instead of a dinner. It's a way to cheap out on your guests. They DO care. They are hungry, they bought a gift, they dressed up, they drove somewhere, they parked, they walked to your crazy venue and then drove to your reception because it wasn't in the same place. They want booze and food. That's it. Give them booze and food.
Bolding mine: Come sit with me. I don't want a photobooth, favors, entertainment, a drawing of myself, a trivia game....I want booze and food. That is it!! And thank me for coming and we are cool.
Yep - I agree 100%. People care A LOT about dinner. Again, from my wedding boards experience last fall: A lot (and I do mean A LOT) of girls were of the following mindset: "What do you mean I can't serve a few light appetizers, punch and coffee and call it a day?" No, not when your wedding is at 6m you can't. You can't do that, charge for drinks at a bar, have a dollar dance and be shocked that people 1) leave early to I don't know....EAT and 2) get pissed that you are too cheap to put on a spread.
When other posters would gently say, "Look, you need to up your game" it was met with: "You are all HATERS! My family loves me! IT IS MY DAY!" Yes it is your day but that does not give you the right to not host your guests.
See, I should be a wedding planner!!! LOL! Give the people what they want: A short ceremony, a comfy chair, booze and food. Good music helps, too!

My pleasure! I'm really excited about it -- the app has all 10 seasons and there are so many episodes I haven't seen. The brides who ordered pizza? I look for it every marathon, never had the chance watch it. I'm just hoping they have the Canadian brides!
The brides who ordered pizza: I can tell you it was set in NYC if that helps. The bride who wore a handmade dress....I have no words. Ill fitting, not attractive, just.....bad. Cold pizza and warm soda, it was a disaster. When I was still engaged I was on some wedding boards. The amount of women who had the battle cry of "It is MY day!!! My family will love me no matter WHAT!" were plentiful. I think these brides were of the same school of thought: "Well let's serve cold pizza and warm soda - no one will care!" Yes we will. Look, I would love a pizza buffet for wedding food. Just serve it warm with maybe some salad and a COLD soda with it. Put a little spiced rum in that Diet Coke and we are really talking.

I wouldn't have minded Simon if he was only in a couple episodes. Like maybe three at max. I thought he was funny in the first three episodes he was in. But he wore out his welcome not long after that.
I dare you to not say "Winne-BAYGO" like Simon, though!!!
"Flour Child" is my favorite. Hard to pick, though.
Can't stand the Greek cousin episode either.

Found it! (I downloaded the TLC app and it was free since I have one of their cable partners.)
Kati and Tara tied, but Kati had the higher overall experience score so she won the trip to a private resort island in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Wow!! Thank you so much! I love that Kati came in first, or at least tied with Tara. Tara was chill - I liked her. So glad gold digging Alana came in last. Again, money can't buy good taste.

I know anything is possible in the sit com world, but every time I see the episode with Trudy "dying" on the tennis court, I wonder if EMS was called. Unless it was a fake unit or they were paid off, the medics would know Trudy wasn't dead. Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche, and Rose had to have been hustled away and that makes no sense. Still love that episode, though.
There were so many holes in that storyline!! No published obit, just many many things!! But I love the episode: "Boy have I missed you!!!"
On 3/14/2018 at 2:06 AM, ShadowSixx said:I'm wondering why Blanche & Dorothy both slept with Rose's cross eyed cousin Nolan from Ohio? I think that they wouldn't be attracted to anyone in Rose's family enough to sleep with them. Since Blanche is superficial I think a cross eyed person would be on her list.
I agree but the line: "I agree that the fault lies with Nolan" never gets old!!!

S01.E05: Parenting 101
in Teen Mom: Young And Pregnant
· Edited by Mrs. Hanson
Okay, we had a snow day today and I caught a bit of this. Where do I begin? In the interest of time I will concentrate on Lexi and Kyler. More importantly, I will focus on her parents, her mom and stepdad. (Deep breath) "Lexi, Kyler, your stepdad and I have worked very hard for this home. We have careers, we save, we sacrifice. You two are unemployed and pregnant. You are not ready for this. Here are some adoption brochures....look them over. We will support whichever agency you go with, and we will happily pay for you, Lexi, to go to a trade school or college. Kyler, take your lumpy ass and smirky face outta our house NOW before my six foot seven gun enthusiast husband loses his temper."
(I really do have a six foot seven gun enthusiast hubby - and yes he is a stepdad to my kids - boys not girls.)
Is Danae trans as in born a girl but living as a boy? Why would he WANT to be on the birth certificate? Ah.....to be young, noble and stupid. I get his intentions are good but I doubt he understands the full ramifications of being listed as the father.
Kyler does not care if the baby is a boy, a girl, a pet giraffe...he wants OUT. Now. Ugh - the boys on this show are such douchbags and the girls ain't much better for putting up with it.
Kayla and Stephan - oy. I have no words.
How do these women pick such losers to impregnate them?
Edited to add: Look, I have two sons, both in college. They were told from an age appropriate age "Your dad and I were in our early 30's when you were born. We waited....I waited...for many reasons. I AM NOT DOING THIS AGAIN. You two are the great loves of my lives, truly, but when you two are older, I am done with the heavy lifting.....I am not raising my grandkids, pending disaster." (Loosely translated: wear a condom)
