Oh dear sweet Jeebus I just saw a commercial full of close-ups of people’s nasty, dirty, cracked feet. I just ate dinner, and I feel like heaving. Why would they air something like that at this time of night???
Oh, Gawd! This is one of the few commercials I have hated before it was over - the first time I saw it.

I don’t have any links, but from watching Toyota commercials, it appears that Jan is pregnant again.
The “can you hear me now?” Verizon guy’s defection to be AT&T’s spokeshole telling us how much better AT is than Verizon, who he flogged for years, makes him seem like a slimey liar.
He shills for Sprint now, not AT&T.
i CAN’T STAND the new commercial for MasterCard. it’s just a bunch of random people singing “can’t judge a book by its cover” repeatedly in a couple different styles, all incredibly grating. it appears that at least one of them is a famous artist but, ugh. UGH. and i have absolutely no clue what any of this has to do with MasterCard?!
Thanks.
This does point out that I know him as Verizon Guy and couldn’t remember what company he shills for now.
I hate the damn radio/Pandora ad for SimpliSafe security that posits, with the cheesiest dramatization ever, that the only thing in life possibly worse than your home being burglarized is … DUN DUN DUN! making a telephone call. :rolleyes: Also, the woman calling for the security system is whispering like she thinks the burglar is still in the house. :eek: No, call the cops first, then your insurance company, and only then order a security system. 
“It’s just my [nasty skin disease], it’s fine!”
Psoriatic arthritis is not a nasty skin disease, it is in no way communicable. Nor is it curable.
Exzema is a difficult enough thing to deal with, without this kind of thing; a little compassion would be nice. But what I hate about this commercial is, if you go to the website they are touting, there is absolutely no new information there about either eczema or atopic dermatitis (which are essentially the same thing anyway).
Neither is eczema. I have no idea why you think (s)he is talking about psoriatic arthritis.
Tituss Burgess. Like Krakowski and Kemper, he’s on Kimmy Schmidt, where he’s campier.
Easy mistake, since there are as many ads for each of them.
That’s the attitude that has her saying “it’s fine” so defensively. Eczema has several types, all are thought to be an overreaction of the immune system. The problem is that is can produce red marks and inflammation, which is “unsightful”, but can also produce weepy sores. And scratching it can, of course, cause it to bleed. Thus it can sometimes seem nasty. The point to know is the eczema itself isn’t contagious.
My immediate reaction to the commercial is “Yeah, sure, go see your doctor and ask about atopic dermatitis, and he’ll say yep, that’s eczema.” Apparently there are other types, but this commercial shouldn’t be giving new information to eczema sufferers. Their doctors should already have identified and explained the type they have.
I ADORE Tituss Burgess’s singing voice, and wished he would have been cast as the Genie in the live action Aladdin. Here he is, doing the gender reversal for “I Am Telling You I’m Not Going”. Amazing.
There’s an ad for the Wish app where a woman opens a package with a flowery blouse in it and screams hysterically, multiple times, and then hands it to her teenaged son/brother. Did she buy it for herself? Did she buy it for the teenager? Did the teenager buy it for her? Not only is the screaming annoying, but I don’t understand the ad.
I saw a Tampax commercial that promised to stop “up to 100% of leaks”. Gee, hope I get lucky! This would be a bad day to have the one that only stopped 20%.
Nest video doorbell add: doctor-father at work wishes his son good luck on his prom date through his iPhone and video doorbell. Why don’t the father and son just video chat on their iPhones?
Applebee’s is now using Melissa Etheridge’s “Come to my Window” for a take out ad. That’s almost as weird as “Lust for Life” for cruise ships.
Just from completely missing the point of the song.
That’s not creepy, no not a bit…:eek:
