For the romance channels, she's dressed all in yellow, sitting in a subway car, dropping crap out of her purse so she can "meet cute" a soulmate who'll pick up her scrunchie. The lady next to her points out ALL the contents of her purse on the floor and Drew says, "I know. I'm meet-cuting." AIIIIEEEEEE. 3 3 Link to comment

mmecorday January 23, 2023 Share January 23, 2023 If Zoc Docs aims to make the worst commercials ever, then mission accomplished. There's a relatively new one with someone browsing the doctors on the app. She dismisses one for being named Derek. One is deemed too young while another is too middle-aged. Just so dumb. At least the annoying song has been reduced to background noise. 8 Link to comment

cinsays January 25, 2023 Share January 25, 2023 The commercial with Kim Kartrashian pushing her bras.. When she stars off with "Guys" in her sharp voice drives me up a wall.

And it's her running down the street, pushing people out of the way like she's Olivia Benson, and her falling from the sky. I get the meet-cuting one - she's looking for a guy who's afraid of commitment because there's no commitment to watching Pluto. Drew as Olivia isn't chasing anyone to charge with a crime because there's no charge with Pluto. But I canNOT understand what they're driving at with her falling from the sky onto a giant airbag. Besides, her big skirt and her hair are flying in the wrong direction if she's falling. ET is definitely running late to come & take her away from our planet. 3 2 Link to comment

I have always described that breed looking like an alien kangaroo, they don't have the long guard hairs that regular cats have, their fur is like a marcel wave (think 1930's perm for women), he was a glorious cat. I have not shopped at Old Navy in decades, nothing ever fits me well. Do they sell cockpots on Amazon? 😊 Old Navy sells cheap clothes. They fall apart after 2 times in the washer.

Here's a commercial I see on the OWN network every 10 seconds that makes me want to drink: The young woman talking to herself in a mirror saying "do you want to claim your throne or not..." and various other cliches. What is she so angry about? Geez people need to calm down. Life isn't (generally) that bad when you're still young. Edited January 26, 2023 by chenoa333 6 1 Link to comment

mojoween January 27, 2023 Share January 27, 2023 I saw that speculation too but the ad I saw today (over and over and over…) is definitely not Super Bowl-worthy.

Prevailing Wind January 27, 2023 Share January 27, 2023 Reminds of when Planter's killed off Mr. Peanut. Or "New Coke" (aka Joke Coke) - I love the story I heard about WHY Coke came out with "New Coke" - Robert Woodruff (CEO) had recently died and allegedly the secret formula died with him, so they had to scramble to try & replicate it. Bwaahahahaha. Highly improbable, but hilarious. Frankly, I think Joke Coke was supposed to make us forget how real Coke with cane sugar tasted, so when they came out with "Classic Coke" made with high fructose corn syrup we wouldn't notice the difference. Guess what. We did. 7 1 1 Link to comment
