Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage
Prevailing Wind replied to Maverick's topic in Commercials
Everybody knows that. Did you know Geico isn't part of "everybody," so they *don't* know that. Sorry. Gotta fold 'em & run... -
I got hung up on Katherine Hepburn and couldn't think any further. ETA: I thought Wedgwood was way too easy.

The primary cause of forest fires is trees, so Smokey Bear is talkin' crap. -
With Bud being beaver-like, did the writers decide making the dead wesenazi Bud's dentist would be too obvious and went with chiropractor? Or did they go with the "The sound of K is always going to be funnier..."?

A number of years ago, the station that aired both Wheel and Jeopardy! (7 & 7:30 PM, repsectively) wanted to air yet another half-hour of local news, so they moved Wheel to 7:30 and Jeopardy! to 4:00 PM. At first, I was annoyed by this. Y'know, those seniors need to get to bed right after Wheel, so you're making them go to bed late!!! AND I was pissed that they couldn't just keep J! on at 7:30 & move Wheel to 4 - but, again, those seniors are out at the Early Bird Specials then (and now that I'm a geezer, I struggle to NOT do that). Then I was OK with it when I realized Jeopardy! viewers can program VCRs...not so sure about Wheel Watchers. (Yeah, I'm a snob.)

Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads

My cats like to sit atop the toilet tank when I'm in the shower. They'd be flushing that fixture ALL the time! -
You may be overthining this one, Muffyn. Said with love.

I've hated that cow since she was in the shower, with a shower cap on, singing so loudly, the whole house was shaking. -
Looks like we have two different theories here...Juliette blew the dude's brain out with her silent scream, or somebody else shot his brain pan out from behind. Since the closed captioning did say there was the sound of a gunshot, the second theory has as much, if not more, plausibility than the first. I wish it had been made clearer.

I cooked & froze stuff ahead of time for my knee replacement. Back then, WebVan was in business, and I could get groceries from them, too. Now, I'd just rely on Jimmy John's bringing me sandwiches. LOL. -
No, I was waiting for that, too. I just think it's funny that cops that happen to be Wesen are Pigs. (Like Orson in Arson way back in season one.)

I was worried more about the beverage than the fries-greasy fingers. Now I think I should've been worried about both. Then I thought maybe Wu, being new to the books, will be the one to suggest scanning them. I kept yelling at Monroe to rip the Grand Master's arm off. I think going to Renard was a logical choice. She doesn't know where his mom is and she probably would like some background information about this before she tells Nick. (And that's an interesting thought about her de-Grimming Nick if they indulge in fleshly pleasures...)

To be fair, Juliette did initiate a conversation with Rosalee about Acquired Hexenbiest Syndrome, but Rosalee was too busy with the guest list to pay much attention, other than to say they're deadlier than born Hexens. Bud is pure gold.

I went for the St. John's River in Florida. Can I sigh now?

I've seen the "barking at the mailman" one before and loved it; I just don't get how "Dog Approved" would sell cars. Hell, they're not even hanging their heads out the window...those dogs are NOT normal.

I'm *not* a medieval history major and I knew Edward the Confessor. The category being one inkling and "he admits it" or whatever that was that contained "admits" was the second inkling...and I wasn't even watching; I was in the kitchen, dishing up more chili, listening to the show.

Amen. ETA: Thanks for the 'ignore' hint.

I'm so old, I remember when 3 Musketeers bars had two score marks in the chocolate, so you could cut it evenly into thirds to share with the other Musketeers. I got FJ before Alex was done reading the clue.

But who's ever *read* about Raspberry Beret and *not* heard it? Even Warren Zevon did a cover of it.

I remember him as Eric Junior, the handyman, on "Dave's World." By the time Puddy showed up, I was on the cusp of ceasing to watch Seinfeld. (Eugene Roche was Eric Senior.) -
I'm not watching the promo. The NBC Promo Monkeys have never learned not to give away essential plot point surprises. This probably won't be any different.

Was. I've lost 2 inches since becoming a grumpy old broad.
