It looks like she woke up in 1985. Kind of like Jane:

The taco place across the street from where I work has a portrait of the World's Most Interesting Man -- in velvet.

God, it sounds like a parody.
The lyrics are essentially word salad. It doesn't make any sense at all:
So my kids don’t have to forage
Got two jobs to pay a mortgage
And I’ve also got a brain
Life’s short, talk is cheap
I’ll be working while you sleep
Still don’t think I’ve got a brain?
You can try I’ll do it faster
I was born a multi-tasker
I was raised against the grain
I took two bullets in the chest
Got three kids, I never rest
And I’ve also got a brain
You think a resume’s enough
Who’ll step up with things get tough?
Don’t you want that kind of brain?
A degree is a degree
You’re going to want someone like me
But only if you have a brain

I hate that loft ladder pulley thing. It's gonna get tangled.
It just seems like a lot of effort to get to the loft. Was there not enough space to build a spiral staircase?
I'm really surprised that the house didn't fall apart while it was being loaded on the flatbed truck or in transit.

I just LOVE the ad where the guy just gets out of the hospital for a blood clot (treated successfully with Warfarin, costing about 15 cents a dose) And he wonders aloud "Maybe I could find something BETTER than Warfarin?"
I had a pulmonary embolism several years ago. Believe me, "upping my game" by switching to another blood thinner was the last thing on my mind when I was leaving the hospital. I was just overjoyed to be going home after 19 days!
I think the heart failure comes from seeing your world turn into origami.
I hope you have space in your house for the Internet, because you just won it.

As for Oprah and the bread (which also irritates me, along with hearing about her fat ass for close to thirty years), it's official - Oprah is the anti- Marie Antoinette. Or The Bizzaro Marie Antoinette. Take your pick.
Bizarro Marie Antoinette FTW!
Great. Now that University of Phoenix song is stuck in my head.
ETA: I clicked on the link and was treated to an extended version of the University of Phoenix ad. This version of the song includes the lyrics "I took two bullets in the chest. Got three kids I never rest." How is this supposed to entice someone into enrolling in the University of Phoenix? What KILLS me is someone got paid to write this shitty take on a well-known classic movie song. Everyone involved in the making of this commercial needs to have a Kansas farmhouse dropped on their stupid heads.

So they attacked the bunker at night and emerged in daylight. Either it took all night to take down those within the bunker or Ed Wood is guest-directing beyond the grave.
The build-up to the attack would have been helped with some "Quintet" inspired music from "West Side Story." "Rosita's gonna get her ass dumped tonight. Abe's gonna dump her ass tonight. The walkers look real tired, they're dead. But living people suck more, Rick punched a dead head."

And don't you love the casual way the woman says "It may harm them" ?

I think Smart Cars look like hermit crabs with wheels.
I like to think that I'm semi-smart, but I don't understand what's going on in this Geico commercial. Did someone in the office dump pig's blood on a prom queen with telekinesis?

I think Randy was on the right track by episode's end. I'm glad he has his daughter back in his life. She seems to be a real motivating factor in his continued success. But yeah, that whole family needs to leave the Liquid Goooooooold on the super market shelves. At least we saw this family cooking instead of ordering a lot of take-out.

Actually, binge reading is already a thing.

My issue with the University of Phoenix ads is the use of "If I Only Had A Brain." The commercial implies that once you get your fancy pants degree from Phoenix, then you can prove to the world you've got a brain. In "The Wizard of Oz," the Wizard (or the man behind the curtain, whatever) tells The Scarecrow that he wouldn't have even made it to the Emerald City if he didn't already have some wits about him. The diploma he receives is merely a formality.

I know they need supplies, but Rick's ""Confrontation isn't a problem for us" or whatever just made me shake my head. Yes, you've confronted a lot of bad guys, but do you remember how many people it cost you.
So.Much.Yes to this. I wish this group would learn to leave well enough alone. They could have just asked for some seeds to grow their own damn crops rather than carrying off half of the Hilltop's stash and said, "Good luck with that Negan guy. He sounds like a handful." But noooooo.
So the Hilltop Colony is basically Colonial Williamsburg with FEMA trailers. Awesome.

I really like Elizabeth Banks, especially as Effie Trinket. But the Old Navy commercials are as obnoxious as their clothes are cheap.

I wonder if her mama had a lisp when she told the nurse what she wanted to name her baby daughter?
Like Ethel Thayer in "On Golden Pond." "It sounds like I'm lisping, doesn't it?"
I imagine it was hell all around for everyone in this family. Teretha has to be beyond miserable sitting in that bed day after day. How does one get used to not being able to get up? I have a friend who has ALS and can't move any part of her body now and she was very active before she got that terrible disease. I hope she doesn't watch this show because it would probably make her very angry to see someone who can move refuse to.

ByaNose, thank you for the link. I was watching tonight's show and wondering, "Don't these home owners have their own stuff?"
Speaking of tonight's episode, a couple chose a house that Chip kept insisting looked like it could be blown down like the Three Little Pigs' house. (He mentioned this three times.) It was only $35,000 so the buyers had about 200 grand to sink into reno. The house was essentially rebuilt, not just down to the studs, but to the frame. It was a massive undertaking. The results were gorgeous, though. The Shiplapometer was off the charts in this episode. I think Joanna and Chip referred to shiplap about 2 dozen times. "Ooh, when we tear into these walls, just imagine all the shiplap!" One of the rooms that was redone was an office that Joanna thought needed an eye chart. I don't know how many times when I'm working late at night that I ask myself, "Am I getting more near-sighted? If ONLY I had an eye chart." (I don't know what the home owners did for a living. One of them could have been an optometrist.)

I remember seeing her make that seven-can soup the first time and thinking, "Hmm, if the doctor ever tells me I need 50,000 milligrams of sodium a day, this is what I'll make."

Even though I am often annoyed by Straight Talk commercials, the delivery of "No, it's absolutely pronounced 'ohn-deeve'" is a longstanding joke between me and my sister and still makes me laugh even though the commercial no longer airs. I thought of this commercial yesterday while in the produce aisle, and I suddenly realized that this is the Mom from the GEICO commercial.
And the disgruntled looking husband with her is the same guy who gets kicked in the face by Peter Pan in that GEICO commercial that gets mixed reviews here.

The scene that brought me a lot of happiness was the one where Judith was playing with red cups again. (Seriously, show, don't let anything bad ever happen to this little girl.)
Also, you know you're a true TWD fan when you hear a report on The Today show about how consumers should pay close attention to the use by dates on baby formula as they don't have a particularly long shelf life and your first thought is, "Oh, I hope Judith graduates to all solid foods soon!"

Aww. I love Carl
I have developed a fondness for this young man as well. We've watched him grow up and very fast. I think he's a very brave kid and I would hate to see anything horrible happen to him. I loved the scene with him and Judith at the beginning. He adores his baby sister. It's moments like this that I love.
Back to this episode, I kept saying when Rick and Daryl left Jesus tied up by the side of the road. "Don't look in the review mirror, dudes. The Karma Police are out to get you."
Loved Daryl's confusion about the word pop. I'm from the South and the first time I heard it called that I pretty much had the same reaction.

This episode needed two things: banjo music during the wild chase scenes and narration by Waylon Jennings.

Maybe it's the fact that "The Birds" traumatized me when I saw it as a young child, but I don't think this commercial is funny at all:

Swear to god there was one on the other day that had in its long list of possible side effects and risks, "Serious brain infection involving a parasite may occur." WTF?? At first I thought it was some kind of parody.
Oh, that's when you visit countries where certain fungal infections are prevalent. Just be careful when you're in an international airport to heed the warning signs that say "Welcome! We have fungal infections!"

S06.E13: The Same Boat
in S06
When Paula said, "You are not the good guys," I flashed back to that episode of "Lost" in which Ben Linus declared, "We're the good guys." And I started to think that maybe he was right, as things all went to hell for the peaceful, book-loving, muffin-making Others after Oceanic Flight 815 crash landed on Craphole Island, where they had never had to treat a gunshot wound until Jack and his crew got trigger happy. It's all a matter of perspective.
I can only handle so much of Alicia Witt, so I'm glad this was her one and only episode. For some reason I liked the chain-smoking woman. She reminded me of all the women I encounter at the lotto kiosk while I'm getting my morning coffee and a chance at a million in the mornings at Sheetz. I never for one second thought that Carol and Maggie were not going to make it out alive. They themselves have become weapons of mass destruction and encountering them is like playing hop scotch in a minefield.
