Brattinella May 25, 2015 Share May 25, 2015 There's this Dr. Scholls commercial with people scraping the dead skin off their feet at the beach. Why would you do that at the beach? \ Why would you do that ANYWHERE except alone in your bathroom?? EEEESH! 5 Link to comment
bilgistic May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 I saw a commercial today for some kind of omega-3 supplement that promised "no fish burps". At least, that's what I think it said. It was fast, and after it was over, I said to the cats, "Did that just say, "fish burps"? I'm pretty sure my cats are pro-fish burps. 9 Link to comment
ramble May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 (edited) Why is the Apple Watch commercial so darn depressing? Adding to the depression for me is the fact that a third grader, yes a third grader, showed up at school with their very own watch the week the watches came out. What is wrong with parents? I'm convinced this kid's parents probably let their kids jump on dishwasher doors & act like junior assholes in convenience stores. Edited May 26, 2015 by ramble 9 Link to comment

I don't care who you are; there is no kind of reasoning for a nine-year-old having an Apple watch. None. It doesn't matter if it's Ricky fucking Schroeder on Silver Spoons and has a miniature train that he drives through his house. No child needs an Apple watch. Period. Hell, no adults need it. It's an overpriced luxury status symbol. Edited May 26, 2015 by bilgistic 6 Link to comment

Wings May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 (edited) What is up with the Northern Quilted toilet paper ad? It features a ceramic bunny on a table beside the toilet. The VO is the rabbit asking to be broken. Go ahead, one brush of your elbow. The rabbit wants to be broken. Odd and it does not relate to toilet paper at all! ?????

Also, pictures of his penis were "leaked" on the internet, so I always think of his not-very-impressive weiner whenever I see anything about him and his big, giant noggin, stupid hairdo, skinny jeans and his band. They all have huge heads and dumb haircuts.Why do I know this?? 4 Link to comment

What is wrong with parents? I'm convinced this kid's parents probably let their kids jump on dishwasher doors & act like junior assholes in convenience stores. They want their kid to be robbed? At the end of April, the news was showing a surveillance video of a guy who grabbed an iPad out of the hands of a 2 year old. A quote from the Mom: She's grateful her children weren't seriously hurt, but said the toddler misses his iPad. "The only thing is, 'Where is my iPad?' Every day. 'My iPad, my iPad, mommy. My iPad'" the mother said. I get the appeal of a lot of the Apple products, but the watch just does nothing for me. It is the same as wearing a sign that says "I'm a giant tool with too much money on my h̶a̶n̶d̶ wrist". 6 Link to comment
smittykins May 26, 2015 Share May 26, 2015 No way. People never romp in depression/anxiety drug commercials. They stare emotionless while other people play around them. And when they are treated with the advertised drug, they black cloud that represents their anxiety/depression gets smaller, but doesn't go away completely. (Yes, I realize it's because anxiety and depression are usually lifelong conditions.) 2 Link to comment

Muffyn May 27, 2015 Share May 27, 2015 Had a strange commercial/show juxtaposition moment today. Elizabeth Banks played a porn star who abandons her sick child and sets up her husband to take the rap for murder on Law & Order: SVU. During the show, her realtor.com commercial played. Is she buying a house with her porn earnings? She must have not been convicted of murder and was able to do the 300 guys in ten hours for $50,000 that was mentioned on SVU. 5 Link to comment

I completely agree. I'm not sure it's reasonable for a 39-year-old to have one, but at least they're, in theory, a grown-up. They want their kid to be robbed?Or, as in this case, require an email to be sent to the entire student body, including parent lists, reminding students of disallowed electronics at school. Now every kid in school knows some kid has an Apple watch. 2 Link to comment

Brattinella May 27, 2015 Share May 27, 2015 All I can think of when I see people on their smartphones, walking down the street is: You are holding something in your hand that cost around $500, about the size of a pack of cigarettes. How hard would that be to snatch? 1 Link to comment

Bastet May 28, 2015 Share May 28, 2015 I don't eat either mustard or ketchup, but I never even knew Heinz made mustard -- when people put out basic mustard and ketchup, all I've ever noticed it being is Heinz ketchup and French's mustard. 4 Link to comment

Rinaldo May 29, 2015 Share May 29, 2015 Money, commercials pay well. Exactly. I'm always happy when an actor I know and like turns up in a much-played commercial; I think, "He'll make a decent living this year, thank goodness." An actor's life is a precarious one -- even those we might think of as having "made it" will surprisingly often quit the business and get a real-estate license, to feed the kids or whatever. 4 Link to comment
sofaslug May 29, 2015 Share May 29, 2015 There's a Samsung washing machine ad that's running now where frantic parents are trying to calm a crying child who has spilled juice on "lambie" 2.0. They run to the washing machine which is equipped with a sort of rinsing mechanism outside of a wash cycle. This always raises a couple of questions: couldn't they have just as easily gone to the bathroom or kitchen sink? And do they think that a soggy "lambie" is going to calm their child? 7 Link to comment
Bastet May 29, 2015 Share May 29, 2015 That's one of the new ones with Kristen Bell and Dax Whatever, and I don't like it. They've been charming in their other commercials, but I find them annoying in this one. And isn't this their second kid? I think they'd be over the "Oh, no, the kid is crying!" freak-outs. The baby probably would have been happier keeping the stuffed animal with juice on it, so they could have just washed it later. Instead, they take it away and get it wet. No wonder s/he is crying. 2 Link to comment

Finally I asked who they were talking about and was told it's "got it" not goddess. I've seen the commercial several times now and I still do not hear "got it" only goddess. Link to comment
