[Holiday and Seasonal Commercials]

The best thing about Halloween is that the Party City commercials with that gawd-awful version of "Thriller" will be going away! Shoo! Vamoose!

[S06.E06: Halloween 3: AwesomeLand]

I would have loved to have seen Jay dressed up as Shrek!

 

Lily's Where's Waldo costume was perfection and made me wonder if I could throw one together before Friday (probably not.)

The latest Jeep commercial starts with Michael Jackson singing:

 

As I was driving down the highway

My Jeep began to rock

Thanks for sharing the lyrics. I was convinced that he was singing, "My jeep began to rot."

[S05.E03: Four Walls And A Roof]

 

Daryl looked like he brought someone, but he was not feeling good about what the reaction would be, yet he said come on out...like it was Quasimodo or something.

"This is my other brother, Burl. Dudn't he look like the snowman from 'Rudolph?' That's why we called him that."

[S05.E03: Four Walls And A Roof]

 

What, exactly, is the proper temp to cook human to in order to kill the virus?

The Hunters probably travel with a meat thermometer. "145 degrees, guys! Time to eat!" Of course, Bob was already a bit feverish, so ...

 

Poor Bob. I hope he's found the peace that evaded him during his life. Good that Sasha was able to bring him a bit of happiness in his final days.

 

The scenes from next week look like "Beth, Interrupted." Still not missing her or her singing.

[S09.E12: All About Jill]

In a flashback to an earlier episode, when the Duggar girls were still in their "Let's Look Like Pilgrims" phase, Michelle was shown teaching her very young children about bankruptcy law. Yeah, that's something that's definitely useful to a 12-year-old. No wonder someone has to downsize the recipes for Jill - she never learned basic math!

[S05.E02: Strangers]

I'm thinking Daryl's water drop was a blooper as well that just sort of worked because the actors just went with it. Kind of like in "It's A Wonderful Life" when a crew member dropped some heavy equipment and Thomas Mitchell as a slightly inebriated Uncle Billy just pretended to walk into something and ad-libbed "I'm all right" so that the scene would not have to be reshot. This is a show that needs light moments. Also, the characters in this show must often wish they had never been born.

[The Comics: Same, Yet Different]

At least Bob's meat looks more appetizing than poor old Dale's, which looked like cat food.

[S05.E02: Strangers]

Did the scene at the food pantry with our heroes battling the wading walkers remind anyone else of the trash compactor scene in "Star Wars?"

[Strudel-Boy and Cawowine: Irritating Kids in Commercials]

And drown John Corbett too.

["In A World....." Movie and TV Show Trailers]

I feel like I've already seen "The Best Of Me" because A.) trailer airs during every commercial break and B.) it looks like every movie based on a story by Nicholas Sparks. And the actors who play the younger versions of the star-crossed lovers look nothing like James Marsden and Michelle Monaghan.

[John Boy: Mr Wonderful or Mr Obnoxious]

Wow, how did John-Boy ever come up with the title for his novel "Walton's Mountain?" I just wonder what his second novel was called. "Druscilla's Pond?" "Ike Godsey's Store?" "Papa's Recipe?"

[Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage]

Can all the Swiffer peeps who are not Lee and Morty go the way of the dinosaur? The Seattle woman with her "Buh-BAM!" makes me stabby and the folks with all the animals are just lying to you. The Swiffer dry cloths are no match for pet hair. You need a shop vac when you live in a multiple pet home. And  I don't mean to be insensitive, but whenever the commercial with the one-handed man comes on, I can't help thinking of George Costanza.

[S05.E01: No Sanctuary]

Great, of all the things to survive the ZA, why did chewing gum have to be one of them? And why did the douchiest douchebag to ever douche stumble upon some to make him even more uniquely annoying?

 

This was a terrific episode from start to finish and I hope it bodes well for a stellar season five.

[Earworms: Music in Commercials]

I'm not sure why someone thought that a Queenesque rock aria would sell Bacon Bowls, but here you go:

["In A World....." Movie and TV Show Trailers]

 

The Dracula Untold commercials don't look at all promising. Tons of CGI, loads of current Hollywood cliches, hardly any entertainment value. More like Dracula Unwatchable.

I've been calling it Dracula Untrue.

[Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage]

 

Believe it or not, that Is Georgia May Jagger, the daughter of Jerry Hall & Mick Jagger.

If you Google her, one of the suggested searches is Georgia May Jagger teeth.

 

For the record, I think she's pretty. :)

[Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads]

 

Life Alert's current commercial has this line: "Sharon, we've received a smoke signal coming from your kitchen." I don't know about you, but I'm not sure how I feel about an emergency alert service that relies on smoke signals. Maybe they should look into that newfangled telephone technology that I've been hearing so much about.

Every time I see that commercial, I expect the dispatcher to follow up with, "We suspect the presence of an Indian in your cupboard."

[Say What?: Commercials That Made Us Scratch Our Heads]

I was watching MeTV this weekend and there was a commercial for the channel's morning lineup. I could have sworn the announcer said "The Gonorrhea Show." But when I looked at the screen, I was relieved that she had actually said "The Donna Reed Show."

[Strudel-Boy and Cawowine: Irritating Kids in Commercials]

The Nature's Path commercial had me all kinds of confused because I was under the impression that granola can only be enjoyed in the outdoors, especially by hikers and rock climbers.

[Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage]

Yay! It's the first day of October! Only one month more of those obnoxious Party City commercials EVERY.DAMN.COMMERCIAL.BREAK!

[Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage]

 

In the zombie apocalypse I plan to hole up in one of those houses.  I'll use the chair as part of my sweet blockade for the second story.  What?  Others aren't doing this kind of planning?

Of course! I don't intend to be caught unawares when the dead feed on the living! Number one on my ZA agenda is finding a guy who rides a motorcycle and knows how to use a crossbow.

 

I cannot wait for "Annabelle" to be released. Not that I want to see it, I just want the commercials to go away.

[S06.E01: The Long Honeymoon]

This was a mess! Why are the writers actively campaigning to make me hate these people?

 

Alex already feels like the odd Dunphy out. So let's make her feel even worse by suggesting that her mere presence throws off the family mojo.

 

Even when she tries to look like crap and takes a chapter from Robert Smith's "How To Apply Lipstick," Gloria is gorgeous.

 

Lily was funny, though.

[S09.E06: Jill Says Yes To The Dress]

Joy really is going to be "Joyless Anna" once Jill leaves the compound.

 

Michelle claims that her boobs make skim milk. Do her eyes make skim tears? Because there doesn't seem to be much substance to them.

 

Ben acts like such a Spicoli sometimes.

[Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage]

All of those Liberty Mutual commercials suck donkey balls. I keep wishing that the Statue of Liberty will step off her pedestal and crush those jackasses under her sandaled feet.
