I remember it this way (and how I sing it when that commercial comes on):
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce
Shut-up, lady, you upset us
All that we are asking is you throw it away
She’s been on TV for years (on the Home & Garden Channel or related ones).
And yet she still can’t manage to convey sincerity.
They changed it. Now the kid clears says, “Thanks, Reggie”
I noticed that too. There’s another subtle change they made in a commercial for I Don’t Know What where there are marginally famous people schilling for something and we are introduced to, “that guy from that thing, so savings is pretty clutch.” It was originally, “that fat guy from that thing.” I know I heard it that way at least once.
There is a Modelo beer commercial running during football games that shows a fan so dedicated to tailgating that they show up to the stadium parking lot, so early in the morning that it’s still dark. Not only is it dark, but it’s blowing snow and obviously freezing outside. So what’s the dedicated tailgater to do? Put the cans of beer in a cooler full of ice. Everytime I see it I want to slap that dumbass.
And, they park in the middle of the lot. Fuck that! Get there that early, you take front row, Baby!
I noticed that too! And it seems to be really noticeable as well.
Dumbest tagline: That’s so you. Said about a lady who picked up kids in her car. This tagline upsets my husband as much as that dumb crying lady who thinks her husband is special because he visited her in the hospital upsets me.
Yes - that commercial gets under my skin, too. It’s like the coach affirms that her only role should be as a servant to her kids.
I’m seeing many, many commercials for Medicare Advantage plans. I was on a flight the other day where the in-flight WiFi was out of order (so I couldn’t watch stuff on my cable service on my phone) as was the in-flight movies, so all I could do was to watch live TV via the DirecTV service. (I know, I know; first-world problems.) So while sitting there watching TV, I saw Medicare commercial after Medicare commercial. I was considering switching to watching TCM because at least that channel was commercial-free.
I finally caught that the other day. What the hell would a puppet need with Medicare, let alone Medicare Part C?
Thank you. I may have cited “that’s so you” before. It curls my colon whenever I hear it.
mmm
Yes, those Buick commercials are lame. And when that guy says it, it comes out almost as a sneer, like she’s showing off or something.
I think the ad people over at GM have been desperately trying to change the image of Buick from an old man car to young and hip. The problem is the people in the ad department there appear to be old men, so their commercials reflect that. Over at the water cooler: Ad guy 1: “Hey, what’s something young people are saying these days?”. Ad guy 2: “I dunno, but ‘That’s so you’ sounds fresh - let’s roll with that!”. Ad guy 1: “Roger that! We can pair it with the upbeat, non-edgy, and non-offensive music my kid played on his synthesizer.” Ad guy 2: “Yeah, that’s what people want these days, I tells ya!”
Termites.
I’ve noticed a trend in commercials that I believe is different on the west coast than it is on the east coast. I wonder if anyone can confirm. So, here’s the thing … you know how they put a commercial out and its a full 20 seconds or 30 seconds or whatever and that runs incessantly for a few weeks, after which you only ever see the edited 10 or 15 second (or whatever) version. On the east coast that seems to be the case at all times; you never see the full version after its initial run. Here on the west coast (northwest coast) I see the full version almost as often as the edited version throughout its run.
Anyone? Am I crazy? Do I watch too much TeeVee?
To answer your questions, Yes, Yes, and Yes. 
Definitely a trend here in the PacNW - you never know which you’re going to get, I get almost giddy when it’s the short one 
East Coaster here and, yes, they do stop playing the long form as frequently after a while. I noticed this because I’ll complain about a commercial (yes, I do this in real life too) and nobody knows what I’m talking about because they’ve only seen the short version, the long one never to be seen again.
I’m always checking to see if the shorter version makes the same point as the long one. If so, I silently applaud the creative crew that artfully cut it down.
(I’m the same way when I see a trailer that does a good job of showing what the movie is like, with no spoilers or hype-that-the-film-can’t-deliver)
