Also the cop who helped John McClain with his problem in Die Hard.
The first one, where the son listens to the TV dad over his real dad despite the fact that his real dad said the same thing, was mildly amusing. Haven’t seen the dancer one. But the puppy one comes off as straight-up meddling and manipulative. The TV dad represents Progressive Insurance. Picture a more direct exchange:
Mom: I’m sorry kids, but a puppy is just too expensive.
Progressive: Switch to us, and you’ll save hundreds, and can afford a puppy.
Mom: I’ll think about it.
Progressive: Here’s a damn puppy already, now you have to switch to us!
Before I muted it last night, it appeared that KFC had an ad for its chicken nuggets with music from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. There are no words, except maybe ecch.
I agree 100% with this. I might have even said as much, but without the dumbness of puppy one spelled out so succinctly.
Now I recognize him!
It’s a variation on my favorite bar food, Buffalo chicken mac-n-cheese except the chicken pieces do not have hot sauce. Applebee’s makes a version with a honey sauce. The best version ever was at Quaker Steak & Lube. Theirs was the classic version with a nice hot sauce and with blue cheese crumbles and diced celery. Damn it was good but they no longer offer it.
I am quite capable of judging a bar based only on their mac-n-cheese.
That may be one of those things that’s really good when prepared well, but from a fast food chain, it’s not good.
Heh, I hate all mac n cheese.
I was at a company function a few months ago, and was genuinely surprised when a) the mac n cheese was brought out in large crocks meant to be shared, and b) adults promptly began arguing about who would be the first to scoop some onto their plate.
It is abhorrent. Not even the Dachshunds would eat it. Well, they would. They eat Cat Shit, so there?
‘Kitty Roca’.
Here’s a pretty good pulled pork BBQ version. I made my own version of that with some Easter leftovers.
Did I just see a Toyota commercial that touted the vehicle’s ability to move the driver out of range of a child’s repulsively horrible breath?
Poor child actor.
Me, too. I could never see the appeal. My stoner college buddies would make it with the wrong ingredients* at 1 am. Then they’d pass out in the hallway. A nuclear burrito would have been much better.
* yes, I know. They usually got both wrong. They’d use water and…something, something not butter. And they cooked it in a coffee pot.
I hate to be one of those “you just ain’t tried mine yet” guys, but…
I always hated mac & cheese too, but that was when I thought the Kraft Dinner stuff was the only kind that existed. Even as a kid I thought of it as pure garbage.
Then I discovered a copycat recipe of a famous version of it from a local restaurant. 3 or 4 types of cheese melted into a bechamel sauce and baked with penne pasta. Still not my all-time favorite side dish, but I understand the appeal now, and it’s a big crowd-pleaser whenever I have a BBQ.
Not a fan of penne or heavily cheesy sauces … if it’s just cheesy sauce. With nothing but pasta, it’s just too bland and stodgy. After two bites, I’m out. No matter how good it is.
Please, no more mac 'n cheese hate speech 
Mac n cheese is the Bud Light of comfort food. 
I’ll continue eating it no matter how woke it is.
Yes, and also the dancer girl is the older puppy girl. Soooo, are they not taking the advice? How many times can you switch to Progressive and get more savings?
