kind of off topic, I was a teen when the original Get Smart was on, I watched it, who didn't? But I thought it was pretty stupid. I'm not a Steve Carell fan either, so with both those dislikes, I've not seen the movie, nor do I plan to. But I did buy the Robert Tonner Steve Carell/Max Smart doll in a good sale. Glad I did, he's one of the cutest male dolls I have, he sort of looks like Steve Carell but not so much it bothers me. And the bottom of one of his shoes does come off, but I think it's just plain on the inside. I would like to see Welcome to Marwen in spite of Steve Carell.

but can't remember what the commercial is for.  Liberty Mutual? 

Yes, it is Liberty Mutual.  The first few times I saw it, I couldn't figure out why they named him Limu, even if it did rhyme with emu.  Then the GF said it was from LIberty MUtual.  Now I get it! Not crazy about the commercials, but at least I understand the bird's name.

FedEx "Memories" commercial

I know this commercial has been out for a while, but I've recently started seeing it again, and every time I see it I love it more. The music, the photography, the scenery, the story, the idea of "time traveling" to see your family history...goosebumps even as I think about it. I swear if it came out on the world's shortest DVD I'd buy it.  

Well done, FedEx.

Awkwafina needs a more distinctive look. I know I've seen her numerous times before, but was glad the writers worked her name into the conversation; not sure if I would have come up with it otherwise.

I only know her from Crazy Rich Asians and she is super funny.  I crack up at the idea that she had to delete a picture of her grandma to take a picture of her grandma!  But yeah I was glad 2 Chainz was mentioned b/c I don't anything about him until I looked it up.

I love LiMu the Emu (.... and Doug).  The actor's deadpan/serious speaking style along with LiMu's goofy look and antics make it funny.  "Just WHAT do these people have in common?"

"You've done it again, Limu" ... and yes, the deadpan/serious way the actor delivers his lines.  Plus their dressing alike; running across the street in the matching orange shirts.

The Geico commercial with the Gecko riding with a stunt pilot. The pilot is doing rolls and stunts, and the gecko is getting airsick. I love it. My husband is a pilot and says that he would totally do that to the gecko. 

And a new one for some bulk mail order place. Like Costco through mail. A guy stands there while tons of rolls of paper towels tumble out of the closet. Reminds me of the scene in Star Trek with Captain Kirk and the Tribbles.

Love the new Geico commercial with everyone getting their hair and makeup done. The Caveman, Geico, the Mom still on the phone and saying the squirrels followed her to California, and woman who I think got a walk on role or something asking where the camel is and the Caveman says Big shot got his own trailer. 

The first part is the commercial I saw. There's also an interview with the winner.

The company is Boxed. I love at the end when their little girl says "Next time can we order cookies?" I have this fantasy of opening my pantry and packages of cookies coming flying out at me. Hee.
