Yes, but he was too boring for Lorelai. It was a rare mature moment for Lorelai deciding not to go just to see Bowie. I'm not sure I could skip Bowie either. 3 Link to comment

So one of the jokes about Flo and Jon Hamm is that the actress who plays Flo, Stephanie Courtney, also appeared in a number of episodes in season 1 of Mad Men. She played a switchboard operator named Marge. Marge was completely over working at Sterling Cooper. Most of the men at Sterling Cooper tended to ignore the switchboard operators. Operators didn't tend to get promotions. Marge's last line is about how she took the job with this ad agency hoping she'd find a husband and now she doesn't want anything to do with any of these men. It's a slightly meta commercial. Not as meta as Matthew Weiner sticking a 30 Rock joke in Mad Men. Ted orders an Old Spanish at a bar after the team pitches a campaign to a car manufacturer in Detroit. An Old Spanish is a fake drink made up for 30 Rock. It's red wine, tonic water, and olives. It's the favorite drink of Cooter Burger. Jon Hamm did a stint on 30 Rock. Additionally, Liz Lemon's mom worked at Sterling Cooper. These Flo and Jon Hamm always crack me up on many levels 11 2 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama June 16, 2022 Share June 16, 2022 (edited) I love the new Liberty Mutual commercial with the Minions. I also really like the dancing BBQ in the Bush's Bake Bean commercial. I know it's really a movie tie-in, but the Geico commercial with hammering, and it turns out to be Thor, and family throwing hammers constantly is funny to me.

Stevie Nicks June 21, 2022 Share June 21, 2022 Love the commercial for some prostate cancer drug where a middle age couple go to the beach to surf, and meet who I assume is one of their kids and their spouse and grandkids. Grandpa teaching the little girl how to stand on her board is a really nice moment. She's a cute girl, and seems to be really taking in what grandpa is saying. I hope she remembers that and this time with grandpa. 5 Link to comment
peacheslatour June 21, 2022 Share June 21, 2022 I really like the Pediasure commercial where the mom is concerned with her little boy's growth. At the end another little kid is trying to reach something high up and the first little boy goes up and asks "Can I help?" He's just so sweet. 1 4 Link to comment
hiisa June 26, 2022 Share June 26, 2022 I really love Rebel Renee. She cheats at trivia and is outspoken at book club even though she hasn't read the book. I want to be friends with Rebel Renee. Also, there's a commercial for Dove soap that's about 20 years old (I remember keeping an episode of The OC on my DVR forever just to watch this commercial whenever I wanted.). There's a little jingle, "what if we loved our skin? And let something or other in? We might even show off our toes! Take off our clothes! Let the world in! If we really loved our skin!" Lives in my head rent free. I seriously sing this little jingle (messed up words and all) several times a week. For 20+ years. 1 2 Link to comment

That question is on par with anything having to do with the Cuyahoga River catching on fire. I was thinking something along the lines of Eliot Ness and the Torso Murders or a nod to the significant architecture like the Guardians of Transportation on the (Bob) Hope Memorial Bridge or the Arcade or West Side Market or a deep cut like the House of Wills, or a nod to all the movies filmed in Cleveland like A Christmas Story or a few of the Avengers movies where Cleveland stood in for New York, Washington D.C. and Berlin (I believe).

cynicat July 3, 2022 Share July 3, 2022 I can't quite find the right category for this, but it's something that makes me laugh so I'll put it here. While multi-tasking and not watching, I heard the commercial for Knix leakproof underwear. As I was pondering how that works, I heard a booming voice then say: "7-day old tuna casserole". It had changed to the new Hefty commercial and I wasn't aware. Best transition ever. 10 1 Link to comment

He said it had been a rough day and he needed a glass of bourbon. We started discussing our favorite brands of bourbon. Next thing I knew, Gmail was giving me ads for Alcoholics Anonymous. So not only is Google a stalker, it's judgmental about it, too. That's when I bought my own domain solely to have control over my email. It's under $50 a year and well worth it. 7 2 Link to comment
