And Legally Blonde.
Bend…and snap!
Her character wasn’t pleasant in there, either. Perfect casting!
Truck runs them both over. Several times.
Opening scene for a remake of Maximum Overdrive.
Puppy lifts leg on guy’s bloodied face - heartwarming.
running_coach hacks his version of commercial into satellite feed to all stations - brilliant.
She was more sympathetic in her Seinfeld episode, in which Jerry attempted “forcible massage” with her.
Uhhhhh, NO. I used to trap a bit and it is hard enough to release a medium trap without assistance, let alone a bear trap. You would need to depress two very heavy springs at the same time. I guess you could do it if you could stand on them, but now you can’t. There are tools that make it easier. Here is a C-clamp style in action:
Huh. I stand corrected. Could have sworn it was a simple lever to release the tension. Maybe I’m thinking of a smaller trap or something else.
I guess if I ever step in a bear trap I’ll just have to make do

Thanks.
The Fanduel 'Winning" series of commercials are meant to be funny and entertaining, but they are highly annoying me. Part of it is probably just how often they play on commercial TV. But another, larger part of it is how stupid they are.
There’s the “winning at parking” commercial where a woman parks at a broken meter, so she doesn’t have to pay. Woooowee, she saved a few quarters! Winning!! A cop calls the 'Department of Parking" and phone calls go all the way to the President of Parking, who has a trump-style tantrum, throwing stuff against the glass-paneled door of his office. Meanwhile a crowd has gathered to worship the lucky woman who has saved her pocket change, who smiles and waves. Yeah, I get the concept of comedic exaggeration, but I find this commercial just stupid and condescending.
Then there’s a newer one, which I guess is “winning at dating”. A woman is about to break up with a guy at dinner, but he breaks up with her first. Yay, she wins, because now she doesn’t have to be the bad guy! She even imagines seeing celebratory fireworks as the guy walks out the door. Nah, I think human nature dictates that, in real life, if you’re about to break up with someone and they beat you to it, you’d feel like “they’re breaking up with me? How dare they! I’m too good for them, not the other way around!!” It would not feel like “winning”.
There’s a commercial that does annoy me exactly, it WTFs me every time, though. Like maybe it should be part of some dark, claustrophobic horror movie. It’s the Everything is Made of Cream Cheese commercial where everyone just allofasuddenly starts eating everything around them. I think they are supposed to look happy that everything has turned into cheesecake but when the woman bites into her camera, I get the heebie jeebies.
The ad for Land O’ Frost meats where the cheese at the end is screeching runs twenty times a day during the daytime shows. Besides the cheese being annoying, it’s annoying that they keep running the ad.
Previously I have mentioned the Ensure plus protein ad with the bottle in the refrigerator talking to all the foods. At the end, he helps one of the others by picking up a carton of OJ and says, “I’ll take that.” Previously I wondered why all the other foods were people, but the OJ was an object.
Recently I noticed that the carton of OJ has eyes.
So, why did he have to pick it up instead of just saying, “move over”?
There’s a Farmer’s Insurance ad I’ve seen about half a dozen times today while watching football, where some guy has apparently driven his car into a giant aquarium and he’s standing there soaking wet while JK Simmons does his spiel. It’s frustratingly stupid and makes absolutely no sense. Still, 10x better than any “Jake from State Farm” ad.
Wendy’s has been advertising their Italian Mozzarella Chicken Sandwich about 187 times a day. Only this morning did I figure out that the woman wasn’t saying ‘garlic, not bun’ (which was confusing), and was actually saying ‘garlic-knot bun’.
Farmer’s claims that these scenarios are based on actual events.
Except the Original, which was genius.
I like the new Jake. He is handsome and looks like he’d make an excellent son.
Peloton commercial. Yesterday it was airing at every commercial break, usually twice per break, and often three times per break. It starts out like, ‘Don’t have a dry January. Have a wet January.’ Or something like that. Just what I want to think about; a sweaty bicycle seat. I guess seat-sniffing perverts might like it.
It’s even worse than you’re hearing: it’s “have a SWEATY January.”
Gosh, where’s my credit card!?!?!?!!!
Yeah, they played it after I posted. They do say ‘sweaty’.
And I still think it would only be attractive to someone who has a sniffing-women’s-sweaty-bicycle-seat fetish.
Well, maybe, but probably the impetus for the ad was to sell people on the idea ‘if you’re going to give up booze for a month you may as well get some added fitness/weight loss out of it.’
