Huh. Clorox owns Pine-Sol, now there would be an amusing commercial! ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Pretty sure a little kid would know Pine Sol exists and what it’s for. 'Course, that’s a commercial for bleach rather than pine stuff. 🙂 Doesn’t mean a kid would bother to use it. “I’m being helpful” doesn’t mean “I followed all the steps you would”.

I’m not sure. I’m pretty sure that it’s given premature dementia. ---

Strangely, Chance the Rapper singing about Kit Kat Bars annoys me but Boyz II Men singing about terrible side effects doesn’t. Go figure. ---

> [@Ambivalid](#): > > **All** prescription drug commercials. Whether you are “Triseba read-aay!” or you’re in the middle of having your “Movantik Moment”, watching these commercials with their “snappy” little sayings can make you stabby. I always sing along “Placebo ready!” > [@WolfpackJeep](#): > > Ain’t no way that lady is fitting a cello, a tuba, and two kids who likely require car seats into that little Buick. I once carried an upright bass, a bassoon (fully assembled) and the bassoonist in a VW bug (with nothing sticking out the window). And I still would have had room for a child, although not in a car seat. There’s a series of anti smoking PSAs that annoy me. Not because I’m opposed to discouraging people from smoking, but because they have a tip from people who have been injured in some way by smoking. Only in several of them the “tip” is actually an observation. “My tip is: it’s hard to serve your country when you can’t catch your breath.” “My tip is: if you keep smoking your freedom may only go as far as your oxygen tube.” ---

My latest annoyance is the Subaru ad about a cursed boy who causes everything to fall apart, except for the Subaru. Subaru = curseproof. > [@WolfpackJeep](#): > > Can Bluebell not afford video for their commercials? Since the listeria incident, maybe not. “Bluebell is the best tasting listeria in the country.” > [@gigi](#): > > Fascinating. I would have assumed men use both hands to lather up - it’s more efficient that way and don’t you have rinse off the lathery hand before shaving anyway? I would certainly use two hands to apply shaving cream to my legs. I squirt the lather into my left hand and apply it to my face. Then I shave with the right hand. If I need to add more lather, I already have it on my left hand. ---

> [@Irishman](#): > > Since the listeria incident, maybe not. > > “Bluebell is the best tasting listeria in the country.” 😃 I happened to hear the same commercial word-for-word on a radio station not too long ago…I’m guessing that possibly the radio ad was produced first, and then someone realized how cheap it would be to just put together a slide show with a bunch of photos so they could run it on TV. ---

"_Activate your within."_ “Within” is not a noun, you nincompoop. There’s a new Wal-mart commercial where the guy in the store is suddenly The Flash, running around handling all the customer requests. At the end, he transforms back into a regular Wal-mart employee, except he has a stupid yellow cape instead of a vest. Ha ha ha. Today, I saw the manager at Wal-mart wearing one of those capes. :smack: ---

I had the sound off, but there was some ad with women in bikinis, one of whom licked a can of whatever product they were selling. This is what happens when frat boys write ads. ---
