There are a whole spate of commercials that I feel are targeted at women and how nasty and dirty they keep their homes. So bad that even cleaning their homes and the things in them makes them filthy, germ infested hovels.
Did you know your clothes are dirty and smelly after you take them out the dryer? Because you don’t use our product and now your washing machine is a cesspool.
Did you know that the dishes coming out of your dishwasher are dirty and smelly immediately after you remove them from the dishwasher? Because you don’t use our product and now your dishwasher is a cesspool!
Did you know showering makes you filthy? Because you don’t use our product and now your showerhead is a cesspool!!!
This is also the commercial where the inventor of soap says they did a study where people took showers with and without her product and the people who used her product smelled better for longer. Like we already don’t know that showering with soap leaves you smelling better than not.
I’ll say this about Lumé. The commercials are insipid, but the product works. Mrs Magill’s radiation oncologist had recommended it during her therapy, because it doesn’t have aluminum. She had bought a couple of soap bars and the stick deodorant. I had started washing my privates with the bar soap, and my running shorts are no longer a superfund site.
Somewhere there is someone whose job it is to judge the efficacy of these products. I can see these careers having a higher suicide rate than dentists.
Some dudes do that because of Raccoons digging out all the trash and making a mess. Some lock their cans as they do not like pickers grabbing the aluminum cans, etc.
The reason my bins are on the expensive side is because we had to keep escalating the war against the trash pandas. They are crafty fuckers with opposable thumbs who like re-decorating our driveway in garbage. Never padlocked OR put our telephone number on them, though.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I always have a bag of jerky (often vegan) in my carry-on in case of airport delays. The guys at work who have to travel all the time have praised me for this; one even shared the story of a former employee who had a full tantrum in the airport because there wasn’t time for the group to stop for lunch.
Considering the prices of food in airport terminals, the ‘no snacks’ directive in that commercial seems more appropriate for “Conspicuous Consumption is the Ideal” training than for ‘don’t become your parents’ training.
I have Spectrum TV and internet and I’m not sure how widespread the service is. But one of their commercials really pains me. A bunch of ordinary people are falling from the sky. They plummet into a city and just before they crash onto a roof a clear plastic bubble appears. It is maybe 2 feet thick. They all bounce off with an, “Oof”. They don’t even compress the bubble very much. We’re talking 100s of Gs…
Hmm, the video doesn’t seem to work so I took the “h” off of http. You need to add it back.
Turbo Tax is running some ad campaign right now pushing the idea that if you have Turbo Tax do your taxes then that frees you up to do things other than your taxes. That’s not so bad, but during the NFL playoffs they have some really stupid ads featuring a “play of the week”, and talking about how the player was able to make such a spectacular play because he wasn’t thinking about his taxes.
