Favorite Commercials

[Phebemarie]

Anyone else notice the personality of the cat on the Chewy commercial has changed?  Is Chewy just refreshing the commercial or did people complain the cat wasn’t lovable? Curious cats want to know.

I'm not a beer drinker, but I'd happily pop a can or bottle to hang out on the beach with Snoop Dogg. I know nothing of his music, but I get a kick out of Martha Stewart being one of his BFFs. He was also great on an episode of Monk, one of my favorite episodes.

Did you watch their show Martha and Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party?  It was quite fun.

The murder case back in the mid-90s (charging him in the shooting death by his bodyguard of a rival gang member) contained ample evidence of the usual LAPD bullshit, and forensics and eventual admissions of the victim being armed raised a case for self defense to support the jury's not guilty verdicts (and the prosecution's decision not to re-try the lesser charge on which the jury deadlocked), so while I started out skeptical despite liking some of his music, I wound up enjoying him, especially once his show with Martha came out.  But the recent sexual assault - and subsequent intimidation - allegations have me enjoying his commercials since he's so laid-back funny, and then thinking Oh, wait ...

I'd noticed that.  The cat does seem less diva-like.  And a tad less cat-like as a result.  Still amusing though.

Am I the only one getting a big kick out of the commercials for the upcoming World Cup with John Hamm as Santa Claus?

Is Flo Mrs. Claus?

[meep.meep]

No, it's Ellie Kemper who apparently was his drama student in High School.

I just saw the new improved picky cat Chewy ad, and concentrated on it this time.    I think they changed the voice from the previous grumpy cat, to friendlier voice and script. 

 I bet they dumped the you can pet me now, and the cat says enough after a pet or two, routine at the end of the longer form of the original commercial.   

The newer version does have the 'you can pet me now', and no longer has the stop command right after.      So, they certainly made the cat friendlier.     

 Just saw the picky kitty Chewy ad.   This must be the longer version of the new voice one, the voice is much friendlier, at the end the cat says you can pet me, and then says 'enough', and kitty goes off to continue with whatever kitties do between Chewy orders.

I guess I haven't seen the new one yet. The one I saw yesterday still had the "You can pet me now" line.

Same. But they left out the part where she says to stop.

Followed by "Love you" as she saunters away.

Guess I need to pay more attention...wait, yeah no...

This is a Halloween favorite as well

Those are both the best. I love that she gets called stupid for that.

No...I've been too preoccupied with the dog one, where they see the peanut butter box arriving. I can't stop wondering why one of the dogs has a British accent and the other American, when they both live in the same house and presumably grew up together...

[Kemper]

Who should I see during a commercial break during Murder She Wrote? Brad Pitt in a coffeemaker commercial! It was an espresso machine, but still. Being able to see him sipping on a cup, at 6:30 in the morning, surely has made my day. (I am in my mid-70s..but he is still a wowser to look at)

[Prevailing Wind]

Both pretty boys (Pitt & Depp) lost their appeal for me when I read about their casual acquaintance with personal hygiene. There's a reason he's advertising espresso and not fancy shower heads.

[Crashcourse]

Brad Pitt can funk me up anytime.  I'll just shower later. 😜

[Medicine Crow]

Love the guy in Charm Diamonds commercial!!!

[heatherchandler]

The dad who tells his kid they only serve broccoli in Vegas ("broccoli smoothie ...and raw with the stems" haha) because he doesn't want to bring him.  That is funny!

[RedElf]

Clay Matthews is always pretty funny.  I loved him in Pitch Perfect 2.  Here he's explaining to Ted why he needs to wash his favorite jersey.

[cynicat]

I should hate this, but I never tire of their tag line at the end: Good. Stuff. Cheap!!

[meep.meep]

My new favorites are the bro soap ads from Dr. Squatch.  They feature a naked, not remarkably well-developed young man actively washing his chest with the soap on the side of the commercial as someone else extolls its virtues.  It's a little surreal.

My daughter and I speculate on how extensive a thespian background the showerer has - she says Shakespeare and I think he's more of a Beckett guy.

Definitely not Mamet!

[Welshman in Ca]

Any Duluth Trading ad, they're all funny. Pity that the nearest is almost 500 miles away, maybe they think people in CA won't buy their stuff.

So far (I've seen three), I love all those Progressive commercials where an argument is settled via instant replay.

Love this new Belvedere commercial with Daniel Craig. He seems to be happier and more relaxed now that Bond isn't hanging over his head anymore. 

It has a bit of a Fat Boy Slim "Weapon of Choice" video feel to it, but it's super fun.

I really like this new funny side of him. I love  the Knives Out movies he's doing too.

Then watch him in Logan Lucky.  It's hilarious, and his Southern accent is redneck instead of New Orleans sophisticated.

It’s because of the breeds of the dogs.

I don’t want to call this one “favorite” but it did make me lol when I just saw it for the first time. A woman is about to throw out her old smelly Backstreet Boys t-shirt when they start singing to her from her poster on the wall. I’m sure it will get old fast but it was good for a laugh.

It was just on during The Conners. It’s for one of those smelly laundry products so I’m sure we’ll be seeing it for many months to come.

"The holidays are a time for family.  Which is why they're also a time for gin."  Amen, sister.

I love Aviation commercials; it's not just that they parody other commercials, but that they get the actors from the originals to do it.  I approve of this use of Ryan Reynolds's star power.

This may be local (LA/OC) but I'm laughing. Honey baked Ham. Slow smoked ham or Kelly baked ham. Of course Kelly couldn't  cook a shoe, but they go back and forth.

Espresso smells good in the morning. ;)

Yeah, it's a spoof of her infamous Seymour butts necklaces.  It's not real.  (Although I do kind of like the lemon peel necklace.)
