It gave him hours and hours of light. Now it is cast aside in the rain. I like to think it was rescued by Pixar and is living well. ---

There’s a new one; it’s for an online company that will buy your used car (I want to say Carvana, but I’m not 100% sure; I don’t think the company is mentioned until the end). The husband wants to sell the car, but the wife keeps saying “Hold…hold…hold…HOLLLLLLLLDDDDDD!” before finally pressing the “Sell” button on the phone app. ---

Those are famous people, their names are Dax Shepherd and Kristen Bell. I wish I’d saved that brain cell for something else, but it’s what I’ve got. ---

Kristen is adorable and is not afraid of making an absolute fool of herself, which makes me love her more. And then The Good Place came along and cemented her in my heart forever and ever. But that damn commercial is annoying as fuck. ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Those are famous people, their names are Dax Shepherd and Kristen Bell. It was? Well, it’s still stupid. I’m not sure what they’ve done that we’re supposed to know and adore them, but maybe that’s just me. And I liked their Christmas one, even not know who they were then either. ---

> [@salinqmind1](#): > > the ‘actor guy’ who flubs up requiring many takes is standing on stage attempting to say ‘Liberty’ and just spouting off endless nonsense sounds out of his mouth My poor mom is even more irritated at this one, because she doesn’t like seeing him act like an idiot (the actor plays a charming, hunky, talented doctor on her favorite soap opera). I do like it when he refers to the emu as a “bibu.” ---

> [@WolfpackJeep](#): > > My poor mom is even more irritated at this one, because she doesn’t like seeing him act like an idiot (the actor plays a charming, hunky, talented doctor on her favorite soap opera). Hehe, I turned on the TV when I was having lunch a couple of days ago, and my wife pointed out the “Liberty Bibberty” guy was on on screen in the soap opera that was paying when I turned it on. I don’t recognize faces well, so I wouldn’t have noticed without her mentioning it. ---

Yeah, this one and the scarecrow. Both unpleasant – and how do they apply to travel planning? ---

The scarecrow one is dark and creepily amusing. I think there is a psychological thriller lurking in that commercial. AAARRRGGGGGGhh!!! ---

There’s a Verizon commercial where the father is complaining about how their cell phone bills are practically driving them to bankruptcy. So the wife points out that they should switch to Verizon. If you knew they could have been saving money before, why didn’t you mention it earlier? ---

They have done several commercials for some appliance company. Maybe LG. And she does some for a mental health online company. They’re not my least favorite actors doing ads. The disaster guy for some insurance company makes me stabby. ---
