Damn you, Glade holiday-themed commercial for making my mother cry tonight!  The sweet WWII-era couple celebrating with Glade products through their years together was a low blow on Veterans' Day!  

I just came here to post about this, what a nice commercial. I like watching the family grow through the years, & I like that they have diversity in the family.

The woman's hair at the beginning is bizarre, though.

 

IKR?!  It looks like she's got wings on the sides of her head.  Surely they could have hired someone to do her hair in a proper 40s/50s style.  But yeah sweet commercial that I'm afraid I will hate by Dec. 25th because I'd seen it 437 times.

 

"Win the holidays" at Best Buy. It's not a competition! Where's the outrage over this, Starbucks cups people?

I just posted this over on the Commercials We Hate thread!  As if you are going to lose or be a loser on Christmas morning if you don't buy the cool gifts at Best Buy--I hate commercialism =(

I know it's supposed to be a feel good ad,and it is but I've become so jaded. It's the one where the girl is decorating her apartment and she looks out her window and sees the old leaving his house and she decides to string up some lights at his house. He's very smiley when he comes home. But all I can think of is he's not going to be so smiley when he gets his electric bill and can't pay it cause he's on a fixed income.

I haven't seen the ad but how many lights are we talking about here? Clark Griswold/Christmas Vacation level? Or just a few strands? Because if it's the latter, his electric bill won't go up THAT much. And he always has the option to turn it off.

I love most of the Lowe's commercials ('How to put up a fence while riding a motorcycle', 'How to install a washing machine with one finger', etc.), but I had never seen the Christmas version, even though (according to this link) it came out last year:

I saw cranberry sprite at the supermarket Thursday.

 

OK, I'm grumpy that it's too early to be doing Christmas ads, but this made me laugh:

Yeah, and you just know those cats aren't going to forgive or forget anytime soon.  I can see the look on every one of their faces:  "Human, I am going to GET you for this if it's the last thing I do!"

Alright. It is now Christmas. I just saw a Jane Seymore butt necklace commercial. Happy holidays, you all!

I usually enjoy the Toys R Us commercials at the holidays but I'm already sick of seeing the toys talking to each other about their savings.......Awwwwwsome (blarf)

Most of the toys talking to each other ones are meh but the one with Optimus Prime cracks me up every time.  Are you telling me there is more than one of me?  Awwww!

I like that one.

I'm so sick of the Big Lots commercials already. I'm dreading the day after Thanksgiving because I know the black Friday commercial will be replaced by something equally annoying. And it will get played 100 times a day.

It's just a strand. And it is a nice ad, I guess my cynical side just thought yeah it's a nice gesture but it's using his electricity.

If the old guy uses as little electricity as my grandmother did, it won't cost anything for the strand. Power companies often have minimum monthly service fees; until you bring your usage above that number, a few extra watts won't make a difference.

I got very irritated at the Walmart ad with the girl who gets the app so she can make a list for her boyfriend, like why not just buy the gifts yourself then? But then my husband said he likes that ad, because as a guy, he wants to be told what someone would like and not have to guess.

And so I said Barnes & Nobles and iTunes gift cards are nice, heh.
