Commercials That Annoy, Irritate or Outright Enrage

I have a FB friend that moved from Virginia to a small town in Mexico. She makes her own raw cat food and says the aging cat is acting like a kitten again. She's astoundingly healthy!  But Trish didn't say if she freezes the batches she makes for Futbol.

Any idea what she makes as I have a 20-year-old cat who could do with something she might eat.

I hate that Toyota commercial with that annoying "This Is My Legacy!" song, and they show it constantly, to the point where I've started changing the channel.

I'll ask her. I know it involves a meat grinder and a whole chicken as part of the process.

She says it's most important to get the bones into smaller pieces so they don't jam the grinder. The grinder they use they got at Cabela's to make their own sausage. She says it's made for big game hunters, so it's VERY sturdy.

She uses an ice cream scoop to ladle out portions, flattens into pucks, freezes them. Each cat gets two pucks daily, breakfast & dinner. Ho Ho, being a white cat, is prone to health issues, but the vet is highly pleased at his robustness.

Good luck.  I haven't tried it because I don't have the freezer space.

I know this is so last week, but I was watching a Duke game on ESPN Monday and they were showing ads for people up for election in North Carolina.  I was watching in Syracuse New York.  WTF?

Try living here. I'm trying to figure out how local those NC commercials were, I know some of the candidates for state level positions were not great candidates with the campaign teams to match. Some of the ads I was subjected to for weeks were painfully bad.

I was under the impression they got into an argument about putting cat food in a fridge which contains human food.

That maybe what the argument is about, but my complaint about the commercials is that the idiots in them keep insisting that their dog food is not dog food and that annoys the hell out of me.  I don't care where they keep it, but it's still damned dog food.

Geico brought back the Caveman he's still annoying. Progressive needs to retire the Dr. Rick ads. He was funny at first now he's rude who cares if people want to talk about the weather?

Like, what the hell else are people supposed to talk about at cookouts?  There's the weather and yard care, both of which Dr. Rick has banned, and sports, I guess.  Although there's usually someone talking ad nauseum about their kids.

And some people just really love the Weather Channel.  It's not my thing, but there are worse subjects.  (Politics and religion.)

With the Fresh Pet commercials I think the implication is that the rude people questioning having dog food (yes, dog food) in the fridge don't like dogs.  I mean, would any pet owner freak out over seeing someone's dog's food in the fridge?  Clearly these people who are grossed out don't like dogs.  As such they deserve to be tossed out. 😄

Maybe, but the dog owners insisting that it isn't dog food when it very clearly is still come across as stupid.  Real people would just say that it has to be refrigerated.  Or, more likely, "why the hell do you care what's in fridge?".  Unless it's someone's head - everybody should care about that.  After running away, of course.

The latest Burger King ad does not use The Guy Who Can't Sing. Is it possible his reign of terror has ended?

Did anyone know that Chipotle has brisket? I do, because the commercial telling me so is on all.the.time. In the wee hours the other morning, it played THREE TIMES in the same break! It was every other spot. 

The irony is, I can't really take advantage even if I wanted to, because the nearest Chipotle to me is almost an hour away.

That's why they're telling you in the wee hours: to give you time to drive there when they open.

What TH is putting dog food in the fridge such a big deal?

All my life my family has put leftover dog & cat food in the fridge after the can is opened!

Doesn't everyone? 

Its just common sense!🙄

I blame the whole dog food thing on advertising companies that only hire 20 year olds. They have limited life experience. They think you quilt with knitting needles. They think there was never a car/truck hybrid before the one they’ve been hired to advertise. And they’ve certainly never seen any of their friends put leftovers of any kind in the refrigerator, especially not dog food.

I don't like the Dr. Rick commercial telling people if anyone talks about lawn care he'll take care of it. It's a barbeque in the backyard of course their going to talk about lawn care.
