Gramto6 August 4, 2019 Share August 4, 2019 (edited) Just saw a commercial which I think is new. A guy is in the shower, I think it is Spanish singing. Then he reaches for a can of Coors Light to drink in the shower! The ad says "Coors, the best beer to drink in the shower" or something like that. WTF?? Who drinks beer In the shower?? Alcoholic much??? Edited August 4, 2019 by Gramto6 Typo 2 Link to comment

The dog's voice is like a craggy old man because he's a craggy old dog reflecting on his life. It's a beautiful story and Enzo (the dog) is a delightful narrator.

Poohbear617 August 6, 2019 Share August 6, 2019 (edited) Sorry, In a bit of a rush so was unable to check for previous post but I have 3 and 1/2 that irritate. 1) the bitch with statefarm insurance so "DONT MESS WITH MY DISCOUNT!" My family teases me cause I have been saying this ever since I turned 50 and was able to get my AARP card, but the labor and not letting her kid pee and her screaming for insurance is annoying. 2)Hotels.com commercial with couple in bathroom and captain obvious. The woman is in the tub and the hubby is taking a shit right next to her. GROSS...I dont need commercials with people on the toilet be it babies or adults. Yuck. Yes the romance is dead. 3) jimmy dean sausage. All of them play a horrible harmonica riff over and over again which just seems to seek out my spinal chord and sends a teeth grinding shock wave giving me a migraine. 1/2 one is on behalf of my chihuahua. The CHEWY.com...quit ringing the damn doorbell and flipping him. Edited August 6, 2019 by Poohbear617 3 6 Link to comment

LoneHaranguer August 6, 2019 Share August 6, 2019 There's an ad for a booking site that has a bunch of guys each saying they booked the last room. It bugs because the company doesn't seem to understand that cancellations happen, and when they do, somebody else can get the new "last" room. It's like they just have a web site and agreements with other companies and never bothered to learn the business they're fronting. 3 Link to comment
peacheslatour August 6, 2019 Share August 6, 2019 That stupid Digiorno pizza commercial where every one is yelling CHEESE!!1! has caused me reach a cataclysmic decision. I will never, ever purchase a product where they yell at me. It seems like lately marketing is not clever advertising or making a interesting point or even a humorous poke at modern consumerism to illustrate why we should prefer to buy Brand Y over Brand X. It's who can scream the loudest. Fuck it, you yell at me, you will never see a dime from me. 6 Link to comment

Somehow the decades-old footage of Elizabeth Taylor, repeated seasonally year after year, does not bother me like the voice-over from Jimmy Dean; with the White Diamonds commercial, it's clearly a rerun of an old production, somewhat like how I spend every New Year's Eve watching an old movie starring a bunch of people who have since died (After the Thin Man). But the Jimmy Dean commercial came out after his death, I think, or maybe it just feels that way to me -- a purposely new offering using old audio of a now-dead person. The verbiage definitely doesn't help: "I wish I could tell you how I feel about a morning like this"? It's inevitable that I will grouse at the TV, "Um, you're dead. You don't exist anymore.

I haven't had a problem with water or soap getting in, I keep the beer on the shelf on the other side of my shower. Coors has another commercial that I cannot stand. It has a woman coming home from work getting a Coors out of the fridge while taking off her bra but leaving her frilly blouse on. What annoys is the actress barely needs a bra and the bra she flings off is some lacy contraption with no support. That bra should not give anyone discomfort. 4 Link to comment

I'm pretty flat chested but wear a bra if I'm going to be out in public. You can have small boobs but still jiggle. The bra comes off when I get home. And I haven't worn lace underwear since my dating years, many decades ago. Cotton all the way, thank you Marks and Sparks. 10 Link to comment
