Judge Judy (‘Judge Beauty’) doing some kind of courtroom commercial for E.L.F. cosmetics. I must have seen it a billion times on a basic cable tv show. 😠 ---

> [@LurkMeister](#): > > I’m reminded of a time, years ago, when my wife and I were buying a used car and had reached the negotiating on the price stage. The dealer was going over all the payment options, trying to get us to tell him how much we could afford to pay every month so he’d know which loan package to give us, and at one point said, **“What can I do to make you drive out of here with this vehicle?”** With a perfectly straight face I replied, “You could give it to us for free.” You’d think he’d have heard that response from just about everyone.

I thought the exact same thing. > > Seems like me and you will be going to the same _happy place_! > > At least it’s $0 Seriously. Also, ‘go to your happy place’ implies that you are currently suffering something so horrendously distressing that you HAVE to escape mentally to that happy place. Which seems like an odd thing for an advertiser to want people to be thinking about. But they did manage to purchase a catchy melody for their ads, so I guess it’s all good… ---

This isn’t an advertisement but a promo … for _The Golden Girls_. I’m not sure how widespread this particular promo is and it only bothers me because I’ve seen it dozens of times and I can’t figure out what Blanche is saying at the end. As far as I can tell, the line is, “Let’s rent adult videos, drink mimosas and French kiss the \_\_\_\_\_”. For the life of me - and I apologize ahead of time, but I swear this is what is sounds like to me - I hear, “French kiss the puss.” I’m pretty sure that’s not it, but goddamn it what the hell is she saying? ---

Lady Gaga’s been making a bunch of commercials. I don’t know exactly why this woman repels me. She’s the only female celeb who does. I think part of it is the effort she puts into the non-musical aspect of her career. She tries too hard. ---

Her lack of eyebrows. People without eyebrows look like some kind of small nocturnal scuttling animal to me. Or maybe an amphibian. ---

I like LG now but when she first came out I thought she was seriously…unfortunate looking. It was (partly) her blonde hair and lack of brows. She’s very pretty with her natural hair color and normal makeup, a la [A Star is Born](https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=AwrOo._oF0lmzHshaAMPxQt.;_ylu=Y29sbwNncTEEcG9zAzEEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3BpdnM-?p=a+star+is+born+lady+gaga&type=A1-brwsr-%7E2024-13%7E¶m1=20240329¶m2=abc91cd8-00a8-4e25-a061-0352dfc0f912¶m3=wav-recipes%7EUS%7Eappfocus1%7E¶m4=d-cp21040193418-lp0-obgc-wav-igNcdGEIkkaQPFiVCMkw-ab15-w64-btA-k13-capn-ineco1-spqlgroup-wn104-perf-brwsr-ntb-ntp%7EChrome%7Ea+star+is+born+lady+gaga%7EB2D7D7656EB4E5153688637C8FBF7B49%7EWin10&hsimp=yhs-browser_wavebrowser&hspart=pty&grd=1&ei=UTF-8&fr=yhs-pty-browser_wavebrowser#id=4&iurl=https%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-oNvj_1ESZhQ%2FW7rGT38qSoI%2FAAAAAAAAbw4%2Fcbsp5u_5Hos0mlJzgeMIv70d3jyi-lveACLcBGAs%2Fs1600%2Fstar-is-born-2018-movie-still-lady-gaga.jpeg&action=click).

Ok. Ad for “ds???” dietary supplements. The commercial is kinda quiet and well mannered. But one lady with tummy troubles says "I’m quite _poop shy_ at times! Yep. I kinda know what she’s talking about about. Is this different than constipation? ---

Saw what I thought was a bizarre commercial with young soccer fans yelling at me about my dry skin and how I need to get some Oil of Olay until my husband told me that that front guy in the beginning is a big soccer star and it was just large crowds of young people yelling at me about potato chips. ---

I am really (really) getting tired of the Chuck Norris _Morning Kick_ ads on SiriusXM. According to Mr. Norris, “one thing we don’t talk enough about is our health”. Chuck also stresses the importance of “smooth regular bowel movements”. Well Chuck, since I hear your commercial about 20 times a day, I’d say we talk _more_ than enough about our health…and my bowel movements are already smooth and regular, thank you very much. ---

Another one of my five-times-a-day “favorites”, thanks to the Arizona Diamondbacks. The commercial not only makes no sense, it makes no sense _in context of the service_. What does a dumb kid have to do with the service? And in the spirit of youtube, the comments are completely wrong, as usual. They love it! 🙂 [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/2Bh2JGMr-5Y/maxresdefault.jpg "Grandson signs Baseball | Hello humankindness") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bh2JGMr-5Y) ---

Another new car ad. Black woman hits her remote and blacks out an entire city, they drives thru it with a slight sneer on her face, as only her car has light.
