Bastet June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 The song always puts me in a good mood, so if I only hear the commercial, I like it, but if I look up, I don't - I hate that big mouth floating around. 4 Link to comment
auntlada June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 9 hours ago, Uncle JUICE said: Found one yesterday during a baseball game that really got me worked up. Have you guys seen the "untuckit" commercial? Basically, these shirts are button downs that are cut to not be tucked in. THAT'S IT. The guy who "invented" them, though, he seems to believe he's on the same level of engineering as the people who invented the Mars rover. It's all overlaid with like CGI graph paper, he's walking down the street in slow motion, he's measuring dudes around the pocket line..."We worked tirelessly to make sure that our shirts fit all sorts of body types, and fall perfectly between the belt line and the pocket line." Buddy, good idea, but for real? YOU TOOK A REGULAR SHIRT AND CUT THE BOTTOM OFF. It's really not that impressive. Like I said, great idea, but let's not make it like you were the driving force in some innovation on the same level as like an MRI machine. Get over yourself. It's also not that impressive considering so many women's shirts are just like that. I have trouble finding a shirt that is actually long enough to tuck in. 6 hours ago, Ubiquitous said: While watching the Space: 1999 marathon on CometTV via my computer earlier this month, they played these obnoxious commercials featuring that fat "car karaoke" guy with a blond chick shilling some sort of makeup remover at least once. Every. Single. Commercial. Break! (Like I dislike him enough already...) I have seen these commercials. I don't understand what they are advertising. 2 Link to comment

BigBingerBro June 20, 2019 Share June 20, 2019 I agree that the State Farm "Don't Mess with my Discount" lady is too OTT, but I actually get her. I have the "Safe Driver" device and app, which tracks my driving. I can check the app after each time I drive and see what score I got. The better the score, the better the discount. If I brake or accelerate too hard, speed or use my phone while driving, down goes the discount. The app also shows a map and where the violation(s) took place for each trip as well. Now my partner and I have an unofficial contest going to see who gets better scores. I've never drove this well since i first got my license. 1 Link to comment

Ghost of TWOP Past June 21, 2019 Share June 21, 2019 It's an older one now but all this talk of truck commercials reminded me of that comical one where the "real people" are terrified of the alligators outside the truck. Firstly, the gators are placidly hanging around like house cats, clearly more enthusiastic about taking a nap than eating anyone. And secondly, it's one of those big trucks so that the window sills are 5 feet off the ground, so unless these gators have been bitten by radioactive spiders, there is no way in hell they're clinging up the vertical sides of the truck to get into the cab. And even that's assuming that the people wouldn't just roll up the windows when they saw the gators coming. But the people all react as if they're about to get carjacked, with the now-satiated gators motoring to a rip-roaring getaway. 6 5 Link to comment

Ghost of TWOP Past June 21, 2019 Share June 21, 2019 (edited) Oh, and another one. There's one of those law firm commercials where they can barely contain their enthusiasm for profiting from your misfortune by jumping on your bad medical outcome. I hate those things. But one of the unwanted side effects of the treatment going wrong is apparently the possibility of "gangrene of the genitals." As much as I despise these exploitive lawyers, if I get gangrene of the genitals for ANY reason, you can be god damned sure that SOMEBODY IS GETTING SUED OVER IT.

She hangs up, clearly crazy distressed. What happened, you wonder? Did her mom die? Her husband? Did the test results come back positive? "Alex left her cello in my car." How fucking pretentious is this? The boss, apparently, broke ass Goldblum, is like "[unmute] We're getting kicked out of the room, we'll have to call you back!" What a hero! Except rightfully, the rest of the people in the meeting side eye the shit out of this. Nevertheless, apparently he drags them all down to her car, they get on her bluetooth in the car, drive the cello to her child, and all is well! I just like imagining the text discussion between the other two people who had to get in her car to take her daughter the cello. A: "LOL because of course Rebecca's daughter has to play cello, she totally wanted us all to know her kid plays cello." B: "Yeah I can totally see how you can forget a cello, I mean it's not like the size of the entire trunk of the car or anything. I hope she's good at celloing or whatever, because that kid sucks at seeing things that are bigger than a bicycle." A: "So Rebecca and Broke Ass GOldblum are most definitely fucking, right?" B: "ALL.
