Well, I would hope since it's a gift, they're making the payments if they didn't buy it outright. Which further speaks to what an outlandish gift it is, whether they dropped all that money up front or will be paying for it for many years -- other than for the truly wealthy, that's so expensive a gift as to be weird and uncomfortable. But, yeah, even worse if they're handing someone a "gift" they have to pay for! (Same idea as in a scenario where a couple keeps some or all of their money jointly, and the giving spouse pays for it out of those funds that are half the recipient's.

Do you think she might send us something grander than a pot holder if we get her a Mercedes for Christmas?" I don't know how realistic it is for the husband or the wife to be completely unaware that they are getting a car for Christmas, and then run out to the driveway in their pajamas and see A NEW CAR!!!! (said in my best Price is Right Rod Roddy voice) complete with the requisite huge bow on top, as more than a few commercials always seem to suggest is happening. I guess unless the couple is very wealthy, it just doesn't seem like people make those kinds of decisions without consulting each other? Or maybe I am just naive. But I do think "a car for Christmas" is not an unheard of thing between spouses. There are lots of year-end incentives from a lot of auto dealers, because they are trying to make their numbers. Like Lexus and their "December to Remember". I got a new car several years ago and my wife and I called it my Christmas present. We are getting her a new car this year and calling it her Christmas present. I agree though that unless someone is a billionaire that it seems unrealistic to give a new car to Cousin Myrtle.

KLovestoShop November 9, 2021 Share November 9, 2021 I just saw one of the worst commercials ever, and one that belongs on a porn site and not on commercial tv. It’s for Shoe Dazzle and it has a Kartrashian wannabe, way overdone, wearing the trashiest outfits I’ve ever seen on a commercial. When I first saw it, I thought it was a commercial for one of those call sexy girls websites. But it’s for shoes !!! 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/593/#findComment-7108097
Popular Post Annber03 November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share November 9, 2021 Oh, good, Mike Lindell is now whining that he's the victim of "cancel culture" in his ads. You know. The ads that play virtually EVERY DAMN COMMERCIAL BREAK and take up seemingly, like, five minutes of airtime every time when they air. Put a sock in it, Lindell. 2 25 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/593/#findComment-7108138

Also that he's sitting in front of a huge picture of Jesus.

Kimboweena November 10, 2021 Share November 10, 2021 (edited) Regarding the annoying Medicare commercials, I try to make them more fun by imagining the people calling for silly reasons. Instead of saying, "I'm calling to find out more about my benefits," they say, "I'm calling to talk to Joe Namath or Jimmy Walker." Edited November 10, 2021 by Kimboweena Like this wording better. 15 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/593/#findComment-7109638
Maverick November 10, 2021 Author Share November 10, 2021 So the Medicare Martha commercial. She's a cranky, hateful old biddy....and I'm so here for this bitch! Seriously, she is so over the top and campy I can't help but laugh every time she's on. I hate the Medicare ads but I'll take her over "IT"S FREEEE" anyday. 5 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45040-commercials-that-annoy-irritate-or-outright-enrage/page/593/#findComment-7109654

My family has so much fun with that commercial whenever we catch it on TV. The bit where the announcer says, "Martha..." in a sort of warning tone has become a running joke in our house :p.
