ScarJo is Scarlett Johansson.  No idea on the other one.

Her newest hubby, Colin Jost.  He's on SNL.  They're now calling him CoJo.

Neither do I. Oh wait, yes I do. It's Colin Jost from SNL.

I don't think they would bother calling him CoJo if he weren't married to ScarJo.

Calm. Do nothing for 15 seconds. I kind of like that one.

I love it. It's funny because I usually don't pay attention to commercials, if I don't like one I just mute it. This one makes me look up every time. It's so nice.

I finally got to see the Walter the Cat commercial for Silverados and I liked it.  

ETA:  Colin Jost is very funny.  He does the Weekend Update news spoof on SNL.

Not gonna lie, I think the new Alexa commercial with ScarJo and hubby CoJo is quite funny. 

They have two Alexa commercials running, one about mouthwash and another about her new play.  Both are cute.

The commercial I saw had both those scenes and others.  Maybe they have also broken them up into shorter segments.  I will have to post the long version. 

Alexa commercial.

wow! i had not seen this one but really love it!

ScarJo is also funny when she appears on SNL--and that's apparently how they met.

Ah, that explains it!  The shorter versions make more sense now.

At first I thought this was in response to people not liking the moniker CoJo.

I like the air bnb one, Beautiful Strangers.

 

I’m obsessed with this commercial!  Great movie idea, imo. 

[luvmylabs]

I like the commercial with Flo's gum chewing sister and the baby.  I also like the Liberty Mutual commercial with the actor who can't remember his lines.

[friendperidot]

I like the Calm commercials too, I like the 30 second one better because I try to do some deep breathing during them. I can get more deep breaths in 30 seconds than in 15.

Thank you for the long Alexa commercial. I thought the 2 I've seen were funny, the one with the play opening and reminder to fake death cracks me up. 

Geico is rerunning the one with the football player, Mickey something who celebrates everything. It makes me laugh when he's doing his dance in front of the deli counter, "gonna get me some cold cuts today!" I don't now and haven't in over 30 years since my divorce, pay attention to football and football players.

[RedElf]

It's kind of cute that Demi Moore and Mia Kunis both went to Fairfax High School in Los Angeles.

Oh, wow, I didn't recognize either one of them, so I've just been irritated as all get out over how often this damn commercial has aired during Roku Channel programming for the past few weeks that I've been bingeing something.  I doubt I'll be any measurable degree less irritated by the repetition, but at least I can appreciate the meta aspect now, and maybe the full ad that will debut during the Super Bowl will be more amusing (and/or make some sense of two people a generation apart being at the same reunion?).

Ickey Woods.

I like the new Farmers commercial.  A man gets into an accident and tells his dog to go get help.  The dog jumps out the window then turns around and jumps back in and hits the cell phone to call for help.  The dog is very cute.

Hadn't seen this before.  It's really funny!

In a similar vein I like the one with Kevin Hart being a VIP at WalMart with his self checkout app.

I love the Subaru ad with the family of golden retrievers driving their car and the puppy in the baby seat in the back asks the dog driving a big truck to honk his horn.

As a rabid Sopranos fan, this was my favorite commercial last night.  

 

[Crashcourse]

I liked the Sopranos one, and this E-trade one: 

 

[EtheltoTillie]

I liked the Lays potato chip commercial with Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd.

[Browncoat]

I never watched The Sopranos, so I really didn't get the big deal about the Chevy one.

I really liked the Rocket Mortgage ad with Barbie's Dream House.

Yeah, I've never seen the show, so I had no idea what was going on in that commercial - I figured, for a Super Bowl ad, it had to be something more significant than a random person riding around in an SUV and hugging some other random person at the end, but I had no idea what the significance was until I read about it after the game.

Since I watch for the game, not the commercials, I missed a lot of the ads while I was getting food, taking a bathroom break, etc.  The ones I saw didn't do much for me; my reactions ranged from "That was kind of funny" to "I don't know who these people are" to "You paid $6 million to air this?!"

I mostly thought the Joneses one was dumb, but then Tommy Lee Jones said "Whoever you are" to the Jonas brother, and that made me laugh:

I didn't like it because I felt it trivialized the meaning of the song. It's about an abused woman who had finally had enough.

Woke Up This Morning" is a song by British band Alabama 3 from their 1997 album Exile on Coldharbour Lane. The song is best known as the opening theme music for The Sopranos, which used a shortened version of the "Chosen One Mix" of the song.

Oh, I didn't realize you were referring to the Sopranos commercial--thanks!

Okay, call me dumb.  I just connected that it was Tom JONES singing in the Jones commercial.  I hadn't paid attention to the song.

I had only heard the song as the opening theme to The Sopranos.  Wikipedia'd it just now, and learned something new.  But for better or for worse, I think it's so associated with the show that the ship has sailed on trivializing it.

[AnnA]

I missed all those commercials and must be part of a very small minority.  Since I hate football, I didn't watch the Super Bowl and I never watched the Sopranos either.  The only reason I'm posting this is in case there are others like me out there, I don't want them to feel they're alone.  LOL

I had no idea of the story of the song and never really watched The Sopranos.  But as you said, that song is so associated with the show that I realized it had to be related to it and that whoever was driving was important to the show.

I know some people who have done nothing for 15 years.

Re: the ranch dressing discussion: As I type this, I am dipping plain potato chips into the ranch dressing. I watch "My 600-Pound Life" and I have seen those people put ranch dressing on just about anything. I watch that show so that I'll (hopefully) never be told that I must lose 30 pound in one munt.

[Gramto6]

Right now my favorite commercial is the Chewy one where the meds box come and the large dog is so excited because "The peanut butter box is here!" The little dog tries to tell him it just their meds and "mom" puts peanut butter on them to get them to take the meds. But big dog just keeps saying "The peanut butter box is here." Over and over. Cracks me up everytime I hear it!

There's a really cute Chewy commercial with rabbits where one of them is overexcited as well.

[Browncoat]

I saw the rabbit one last night.  It was really cute.

[scarletine]

I love those. But I now say, "The peanut butter box is here" in that same accent as big dog every time we get a package now, much to my husband's chagrin.

Chewy Chatty Pets Commercials

Giorgio and Ralph

Lenny and Leroy

[nokat]

I put this one in the "commercials  that annoy you" at first.

"The Ruby Sliders commercial is both rude and funny. A heavy person sliding your chair can scratch your floor? Probably. Then they show a child pushing her grandfather across the floor. Even a child can push this "large" man across the floor. Wait, what?"

I'm then seeing the possibilities when I want to vacuum.  Don't worry about lifting your feet, I'll just push you a few feet out of the way.

I haven't seen Disco Cat mentioned yet. I don't know why, but I like it.

I've put those felt pads you can buy on the bottom of all our furniture on tiled flooring at the behest of she who shall be obeyed. Works perfectly & a pack costs about $10 on Amazon.

I have those too. Also, the "at the behest of she who shall be obeyed" is how you save a marriage.
