erikdepressant September 11, 2015 Share September 11, 2015 (edited) Er ... [Floor & Decor: Cyclops] I think Floor & Decor created a commercial that was so random, it became snark-proof. Bravo to them, I suppose. Oddly enough, one of the last lines of the commercial did actually remind me of The Odyssey. The narrator says, "No one beats our selection, and no one beats our prices." I slightly edited this Wikipedia quote for brevity: Odysseus offers Polyphemus [the Cyclops] some strong and undiluted wine given to him earlier on his journey. Drunk and unwary, the giant asks Odysseus his name, promising him a guest-gift if he answers. Odysseus tells him [...] "no one," and Polyphemus promises to eat this "Nobody" last of all. With that, he falls into a drunken sleep. Odysseus had meanwhile hardened a wooden stake in the fire and now drives it into Polyphemus' eye. When Polyphemus shouts for help from his fellow giants, saying that "Nobody" has hurt him, they think Polyphemus is being afflicted by divine power and recommend prayer as the answer. Basically, that's a long way of saying that only Odysseus can give you better selection & prices on your floor and decor needs.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's just not something I'd expect to hear on the Hallmark channel. I had to back up the DVR and watch it about 4 times before I could be sure that what he was really saying was "15 grams of protein punch!"

She was in support of it. I said "there are girls taking driver's ed who weigh 80 pounds." a slight exaggeration, but come on, you can't have junior high kids in carseats! How would parents be able to carpool to sports events, scouts, band, etc.? I appreciate safety standards. I hate hearing people say they're unnecessary because "We didn't have them when I was a kid, and we lived," because, frankly - some kids didn't. And those kids still have family members who wish there HAD been seatbelts, bike helmets, etc,, in our day. BUT - carseats for kids past a certain age or weight approaches being ridiculous. 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2776-say-what-commercials-that-made-us-scratch-our-heads/page/53/#findComment-1512299
