annzeepark914 November 12, 2023 Share November 12, 2023 Most of the ads you're all describing I haven't seen (except for ASPCA, the awful woman yelling questions about Medicare, and Homegoods' dancing in the street). I keep the mute button close at hand and *use it*. I've already complained about the all too numerous dancing in the street ads that annoy me. It isn't even good dancing. Oh, and I saw the article in the Washington Post about whatsername who sashays around the scenery and then dances, in the street, with other folks. Does the ad industry still give out Clio awards? I wonder if they give an award these days for most annoying. 9 Link to comment

TattleTeeny November 12, 2023 Share November 12, 2023 (edited) Is it weird to dislike the Jardiance lady but also feel bad for her -- the actress, I mean? I am envisioning her feeling accomplished and proud for landing a decent, mass-market kind of gig (perhaps after nothing but few and far between late-night infomercials that made her question whether she needed to reevaluate her career path). Then, she does an arguably OK job with the nonsense that was expected of her. And then -- perhaps inexplicably, perhaps perfectly understandably -- instead of just tuning out the commercial... a nation decides to collectively despise her!

andromeda331 November 12, 2023 Share November 12, 2023 In the King Soopers commercial where the dad asks his phone how much he spent on groceries that month. Is the six hundred (or close to it) for his family and his son's friends? If so, where is he shopping that he's only spending that much for all those people. It's just me and my dad and we're wish we're spending more then that a month. We have a cat but he only really needs his Temptation treats we buy a really big bag of cat food and kitty litter that lasts us months. 2 1 Link to comment

PrincessPurrsALot November 12, 2023 Share November 12, 2023 I saw it as she's an actress doing the best she can with this ridiculous commercial. I still want to know what the big story is that little pill has to tell! I actually like her clothing in the commercials and dislike her acting in the non-singing and dancing sequences (seems really OTT) while thinking she does a good job with that terrible dance number. I didn't have feelings one way or the other about the actress as a person until I read an article about her. Then, um, yeah, not liking her so much. And as I type this there she is on my screen telling me that Jardiance is really swell yet still not saying what the big story is. On the plus side, at least by adding the scenes of clothing change and makeup, they are not trying to claim dozens of people spontaneously started singing about Jardiance. 6 Link to comment

But it does depend a bit on what the initial offer was. The day after my husband was rear-ended on the freeway, smushing his SUV badly enough that he had to be cut out of it, the other guy's insurance called and offered us something like $1000. Total. When we were going to need to replace the SUV, and we had no idea what his medical bills were going to be yet. We ended up settling for his bills being paid, the SUV replaced and something like $25,000 to us/our lawyer. Thank God he wasn't seriously injured. 3 4 Link to comment

The first is a take on if you are putting cheese or pepper or pouring wine for someone asking them to, "Say when" as in when to stop shredding, grinding or pouring. The joke is responding, "When" rather than thank you or that's great or something similar. I haven't seen the commercial, but, while I like cheese, I don't want a mountain on my plate. I like the sock rolling son of a b . . . commercial. I enjoy the very well packed suitcase (winning!) and the announcer's tone. He knows artful packing when he sees it. 😁 While SOB is normally an insult, it can also be used, based on tone, as a positive. 2 Link to comment

TattleTeeny November 23, 2023 Share November 23, 2023 (edited) I also don't identify with the confusion about Lume and its 48 hours of effectiveness or the "just take a shower" suggestions. Obviously, most people are aware they should bathe and are not likely actively trying to find a way to avoid doing so. But some people through no fault of their own have more intense sweat or smells or whatever -- and probably can't take a shower every time they suspect a...flare-up(?). Not to mention that people do get into situations where they may need to go longer than and day without a shower or have events where they want to be extra covered -- for example, I am not a super sweaty person and I use natural deodorant but if I have, say, a summer outdoor event, maybe I will use a stronger one just for peace of mind, haha!

I’ve never bought it and don’t plan to, but I sometimes go out to dinner or drinks after work, so I shower in the morning of course, then want to make sure I don’t smell after a day of work. I usually just put on more deodorant and perfume. This may work better than putting on more deodorant. I could see some people who would be doing the same thing, going out after work, and maybe they put it in the butt, etc.. I don’t know about all of that, I would think it would be a good alternative to another shower? I think a lot of the hatred for the Lumé ads is the (literal) in-your-facedness of the woman shilling her product and her glee at talking about butts and packages. I also think that if I had an issue with excess body odour, I'd be carrying some type of wet wipes and not trying to mask the nastiness, which probably frankly just adds to the unpleasantness. 12 Link to comment

She points to each body part as she lists them. Why? We know where they are. 11 1 Link to comment
chessiegal November 24, 2023 Share November 24, 2023 The point of Lume is that it prevents odor from happening by getting rid of the bacteria that cause the odor. It doesn't "mask" it. 5 Link to comment

It doesn't "mask" it. In which case, washing those butt cracks more frequently than every 72 hours may be more effective. Just sayin'. And for anyone who is about ready to stuff their in-laws into the trash compactor this fine day-after-Thanksgiving, just plop them in front of one of the extended versions. It will keep them off the subject of your bad parenting skills and why their method of roasting a turkey is so vastly superior to yours. https://www.google.com/search?q=lume+commercial&oq=lume+commer&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgBEAAYgAQyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQLhiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIHCAkQABiABNIBCjI2NDI4ajBqMTWoAgCwAgA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:d7a6e468,vid:yw7cgxPQVSU,st:0 Edited November 25, 2023 by Ancaster Because ofs and ones were confusing themselves. 2 4 Link to comment
