This commercial for Fry’s food stores with “Secret Agent Man” is just plain silly. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EEbLRvA-JQ8/maxresdefault.jpg "Secret Shoppers") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEbLRvA-JQ8) If you live near a Ralph’s or a Smith’s, or other Kroger-owned store, you’ve probably seen it, too. ---

I just spotted something I’ve missed for a while. Ensure plus high protein commercial, all the foods are standing around in the refrigerator. Ensure introduces his buddy with high protein. Fruit is trying to pick up the OJ carton, and EP says, “I’ll take that.” Previously I complained that it didn’t make sense all the other food were persons, except the OJ carton. Well, I just spotted the OJ carton has eyes. Which raises a different set of questions about how they are treating OJ. (Insert OJ joke here.) ---

There’s the weirdly obnoxious one with the couple where the woman is opening the new package of underwear for her man, and he doesn’t like the “dental floss” one she buys to be his new favorite. Are they supposed to be someone I should recognize? ---

I don’t know the commercial but Google says he’s some country singer and one of the most recent “American Idol” judges.

He’s got some southern/country music accent. [/quote] That doesn’t narrow it down. ---

I would scream at the television “WHY is your wife deciding your underwear for you? Is she buying it because you’re too lazy to go to the store? Man up and buy your own, ya wuss!” ---

If those were the underwear that thrilled her to peel off of me, I’d play along. I’m generous. ---

Did y’all even watch the commercial? The wife says “Hey babe. Got some stuff **for the Jockey shoot** ” and the box has a big Jockey logo on it. Clearly the company sent over some samples. Is it really that hard to understand? It’s a commercial, ffs, not a paper on string theory. And one aimed at fans of Luke Bryan for that matter. Sheesh! ---

There’s plenty of things annoying about that commercial. The fact that she’s buying his underwear isn’t one of them… because she’s not… ---

> [@mikecurtis](#): > > The fact that she’s buying his underwear isn’t one of them… because she’s not… Well, that’s good, because I never said she did, except as a response to digs. My initial claim of annoyance was with the people. ---

And I had no idea what I was talking about because I never saw the commercial. But it hit a pet peeve of mine: people who don’t lift a finger, so someone else has to step in and do something. Then they complain how it was done. (Often seen with older husbands, of which I am one). Sorry, but I didn’t lift a finger to google “country singer and wife undies commercial”… ---

Those new commercials that say “Snorgvana effectively treats snorgeling”. Anybody else too used to hearing “effectively” as a synonym for basically or practically? “You can think of it as treating snorgeling. It doesn’t actually do that, but the outcome is similar.” ---

Don’t take Snorgvana if you’re allergic to Snorgvana, or any of the ingredients in Snorgvana. Even though you don’t know what they are.
