I'm Krispy Kreme all the way. Dunkin' donuts taste like crap. That's because they usually don't make them in the store. Several stores share a facility to make them or orders them from a hub location. Who all was in the commercial beside Ben and Matt? I am terrible at recognizing faces. 2 2 Link to comment

dleighg February 15 Share February 15 (edited) So I've seen this ad for Otezla (I think) for plaque psoriasis about a zillion times, but for the first time I wondered: Why is Ted, who is having a date with a much cuter woman, going to a movie, not talking to her at all, and then lightly hugging her and saying goodbye at the end? Is that a normal first date? Wouldn't you go for a coffee afterward to chat? I mean, how do you get any kind of vibe whether this person is of interest to you by going to a movie? I mean, my first date with my husband *was* a movie (a french language movie because I hinted at it saying I was taking french at the time and....) but we went to a coffee shop afterward to, you know, talk about it.

Maybe it's because I don't wear make-up at all, but it seems an odd time to get out your compact mirror and put on some lipstick. Maybe the movie is boring her and, hey, at least she's not making her phone light up, so I don't know why I fixate on her every time I see the commercial, but I do. 1 Link to comment

Browncoat February 19 Share February 19 Per Wikipedia: In the 1930s, with the introduction of aggressive Brahman bulls and Brahman crossbreds, the job became much more serious.[1] In the late 20th century, acknowledging the great danger faced by the profession, the term bullfighter began to replace the name rodeo clown in formal use.

SoMuchTV February 21 Share February 21 Okay, the ad for the car (Audi, maybe?) where the mom is having the son cycle through the different headlight settings. How in the world is that a selling point? I just want my car to work without me doing extra homework after I buy it. 7 1 2 Link to comment

Mostly because the young actor playing her son is an AWFUL actor. He says something like "are we done now?" in what I guess is supposed to be an exasperated tone, but it sounds like he's about to laugh. Or maybe he's supposed to sound like he's about to laugh and he sounds exasperated. Either way, it doesn't sound the least bit authentic. Link to comment

Add me to the minority who has never considered cereal for dinner. I like cereal, and sometimes have it for breakfast. But, it's strictly a breakfast food or snack (Eggs, bacon, and pancakes are a different story). If I wanted a quick, low effort dinner, I'd sooner make a sandwich and have some fruit. 2 Link to comment

Judging by his face at the end, yes, he's about to do it again. When we see him cleaning, it's during the day and he's in regular clothes. When the mom and kid come out and she says the kid almost made it, everyone is in PJs. So he cleaned up one potty training mishap (or was just routine cleaning), then the kid did it again that night. 1 Link to comment
