If my social media feed is any indication, children who are unable to pronounce words correctly are considered to be very cute for some reason. (The young lady in my family who is now known as “Aunt Hottie” because of a young nephew’s inability to say her name has not weighed in on this.)
I’m far more irritated by the kid kicking the bike though.
How about the XFinity commercial with the guy who stepped in a bear trap last week. He should probably get it removed, but he’ll ‘make do’. Just like he does with only access to phone data internet.
Dude, you are a human, with a brain that is superior to a bear’s, and dexterous fingers with opposable thumbs. I have never used nor set a bear trap, but I know there is a simple lever that will very easily release the trap from your leg. Better hurry, gangrene must be setting in by now.
There was Mason Reese mispronouncing ‘smorgasbord’ as ‘borgasmord’ for his '70s Underwood Devilied Ham commercial. (IIRC, he was made to mispronounce it and was annoyed because he was he actually was able to pronounce it correctly. Sorry, no cite.)
Apologies if it’s been mentioned: the Dodge couple where he surprised her with matching pickup trucks has been replaced with one where they’re out in the snow. He whistles for her Xmas present, and a puppy comes running out of a snowbank. She whistles, and a full sized pickup barrels out of the snow. Rich people
In Middle Tennessee, we are plagued by Bailey who still cannot say, “Pinnacle,” even though she’s pushing eight. It was almost sort of cute when she was three. Now it’s just pathetic, and I feel sorry for the girl who gets trotted out for these commercials.
And why the fuck is there a street lamp in the middle of the woods? Are they in Narnia?
There are many things wrong with that commercial. Where did the puppy come from? Did he leave it earlier to wait until he showed up?
Ok, assume he planned where he would spring his surprise, and had someone hidden waiting for his whistle. Great, but where did the truck come from? How did she know where the surprise gift exchange would occur?
And who is driving that thing? When guy is hugging the truck, there’s no one else standing around. I didn’t know self- driving tech had Advanced to the point it can handle snow- covered fields in the woods.
Yeah, that one grates on me and the wife. Apparently she’s an actress who’s been in some stuff, but I don’t know what. Blahblahblahblahblah, blah blah blah blah
Geez, it’s a joke, from start to finish. You’re not meant to take any of it seriously (and yet many here are trying to).
It’s basically a parody of all those “Big truck with a bow on it for Christmas” commercials.
Puppy knows to come when guy whistles: absurd.
Puppy knows to come, even though it’s an infant: absurd.
Puppy effortlessly prances through snow, even though it’s well over his head: doubtful.
Woman whistles, truck starts up (it’s been silent up until then), lights come on: dubious.
Truck frolics through snow, comes to stop right in front of guy, all with no driver: absurd.
Guy adores truck more than puppy or woman: sad.
(She’s petting puppy while he’s busy embracing truck. She says “Let’s give them a minute.”)
It’s so over-the-top that there’s no way anyone making that kept a straight face.
The fact that it looks just like an “average slice-of-life commercial” that people are trying to apply the laws of logic to, is a commentary on how low we’ve sunk… into a world where everything being absurd and idiotic is seen as normal.
