Hey, Capital One! Why are you behind a run in the ninth if you have Derek Fucking Jeeter on you team? Why wouldn’t the game been called in like the third from the Mercy Rule?
And is that Derek Waters, of Drunk History fame who gets slapped down? Sure looks like him.
Apologies if I offended at all! I was nominally raised Catholic; my parents pretty much gave up on church when I was a little kid, but sent me to Catechism to try to hedge their bets on my immortal soul.
This is the commercial that I keep thinking must be missing half it’s content. The Kit Kat girl gets two candies while the two boys only get one while the lady giving out the candy compliments the girl’s costume-- a combo of Kit Kat and Reeses. The little girl says something snarky to the boys and there’s even a waa-waa style sting music.
There has to be a part of the commercial where the boys make fun of her costume in order for any of this to make sense.
Getting back to the subject of annoying commercial, the Colonial Penn ads with the goldfish-brained customers needing the “3Ps” (price, price, and price) repeatedly explained in one step above babytalk.
I shudder to imagine the cerebral meltdowns if one attempted to explain to these people the way I presume the “fixed price” thing works (i.e. the amount of coverage one gets for the fixed price drops to practically useless levels if you’re not a prime candidate).
It starts off at a useless level - it’s $9.95 per month per unit and a unit is worth about $2000 for a 50 year woman.
I hate everything about that commercial - from the way they call it the Colonial Penn program" as if it was something other than an insurance company , to the condescending " $9.95 for you , too" to introducing that salesman as if he is someone I should know.
How about the tearjerker St. Jude’s Hospital ads? One of the latest batch features a little girl who had a kiwi sized tumor about 5 years ago. She underwent treatment and lived happily until recently she started showing signs of recurrence. According to the narrator, happily lots of improvements in treatment have occurred since her first cancer treatments. The hospital needs more money for more lifesaving research. Then the twist: SHE DIED! WTF? They jerked the tears a little too hard with that ending.
It totally turned me off. Contrast that with Shriner’s Hospital’s approach. Happy children who’ve had successful treatment. I want to be part of that success. I don’t want to be part of the depressing St. Jude failures.
