> [@WolfpackJeep](#): > > I would love to see a realistic version of that commercial… > > Whoever is making the biscuits spends several minutes beating the peeled can against the counter in a vain attempt at breaking the seal, then finally resorts to using a knife. Since the can wasn’t opened correctly, the outer dough layers are damaged, and cannot be formed into perfect little crescent shapes. This becomes a problem during baking, as the damaged rolls are just thin enough that they finish baking too soon, and stick to the pan. Once this problem has been discovered, someone has to locate a suitably strong spatula to chisel the offending rolls off the pan; the spatula, apparently being made of something resembling leaf spring material, launches one of the biscuits into the air, which catches the attention of the family dog, who immediately bolts forward and grabs the hot biscuit in midair. Several minutes of shouting and wailing ensue as various family members are concerned that the dog has seriously injured herself on the hot food; the dog (who is just fine) is too focused on the oven to notice the commotion, and will from this point forward associate the appliance with food occasionally soaring into the air for her consumption. > > Based on a true story. Now I have to clean my monitor you bastard. :D:p ---

How about the one where the kid pays too much for a movie rental and everyone in town goes off on him over it. Everywhere he goes everybody tells him “Billy! it was $1.99!”(not his name or the amount but I can’t remember those) as if it was the worst thing he could have done. I can see an epilogue where he kills himself and the only thing the note says is :“it was $1.99” ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Are you simply pointing out the utter uselessness of youtube comments, the coarsening of American culture, or are you calling me a hypersensitive snowflake? > > Just asking. So you go by “Just asking” for short? 😉 Commercial that bugs me is for some bipolar medicine. They start by showing the person going manic, and then show them up in the air on a house of cards, i.e. “shaky ground”. Then they go through the medicine routine, and at the end of the commercial, they show them with their family doing reasonable things - still on a house of cards. So the medicine didn’t do anything? I think someone got lost on the metaphor somewhere. ---

That goddamn Navage commercial. Floating mucus and other bodily fluids are why I never considered medical school. I’ve always had bad allergies years ago. Watching the commercial makes me think of emptying the nose-fluid container with saline and mucus and makes me gag, even now. Plus, it’s the stupidest invention today. Take a hot shower for bleep’s sake. That’ll clear it out. I suppose colonoscopies paved the way for battery-operated sinus-oscopies. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > By the way, that Domino’s commercial for their hot spots, where you can have pizza delivered to you just about anywhere, should that guy be running around with that giant pair of scissors? Not only that, but usually the delivery person and the recipient are on the _same side of the ribbon_. She could just hand the recipient the pizzas without waiting for the stupid ribbon-cutting ceremony! ---

now I know they make certain commercials for specific channels this one seems only to be on oxygen but I don’t think shoe dazzle is going to get points for hiring a stripper (whos fully clothed and made up looking tacky as hell ) to do her routine wearing their new thigh high boots in a shoe closet made up as a strip club to the tune of “im so expensive” they seem to do the same commercial with different music depending on the race of the actress because they shoed an Asian girl and a diff song …. ---

Every time I hear that Domino’s “dinner bell” commercial, I’m thinking “tacos”, not “pizza”. That can’t be the imagery they’re going for. ---
