Not charging insurance companies? That sounds. . . dumb. No wonder they have to spend so much time on annoying commercials.
Please drop the piano on Doug
Dad: What’s that on your face?
Son: Just a quick shave.
Dad: Quick shave? Respect the process!
God, I hate that asshole. Respect the process of shaving? What am I the Prince of Barunda ferchrissakes. It’s just shaving.
I agree. But I have to admire the creativity, when they bring in his replacement: the guy who always bumbled his lines in the “Statue of Liberty in the background” series of commercials.
“Liberty Bibberty.” Said with a straight face. Then he puts his fake mustache on crooked. Makes me laugh, anyway.
Yeah, we’re liking the new direction of this campaign as well!
My mom is very upset that they’ve brought back the line-fumbling guy; he plays a sensitive hunk on her soap opera, and she doesn’t like that this new role makes him look stupid. ![]()
They still have soap operas? ![]()
Looks like the mother is about ready to slap her bratty kid in the Duracell Wilson Racing Scream commercial. I’d like to join here.
And Liberty Buchamode.
I think he looks like Michael Weston. (Burn Notice)
Join her? In punishing the kid? I would not, ever, give him new batteries. He would be sent to him room with a couple of books, a pnut butter sandwich and a glass of milk, and told not to come out until he had finished them all. And next time he screamed like that the toy would go in the trash.
any of these fiber internet commercials that act like its a religion …
8K porn. Praise Jesus!
Holy shit, I want to slap both of them. That kid for screaming a temper tantrum till he gets his way, and the mom for letting him get away with it. Hey Mom, that kid being a brat is your fault.
I love how they’re all over cable being old and stupid. Here I am still riding some DSL line. I would LOVE to upgrade to cable. (Personal economic reasons keep me trapped.)
There’s an Otezla commercial that’s been playing constantly on The Today Show that doesn’t exactly annoy me so much (other than the frequency of it) as baffles me slightly.
A man is waiting in front of a movie theater to meet his date. It’s obviously a first date.
Suddenly it turns into an imagined fancy movie premier setting with paparazzi taking pictures. The gist is, people with plaque psoriasis feel embarrassed to be seen in public, like all the attention is on them. Suddenly, to his confusion, an elderly lady appears at his side to pose with him for a picture.
Then the imagined movie premier setting fades away and his date shows up— “Ned?”. They go in and enjoy the movie while the narrator recites the drug boilerplate.
Afterward, back out on the sidewalk outside the theater, Ned and his date hug their goodbyes and go their separate ways. While Ned is hugging her, he sees the elderly lady again, who gives him a wink.
What I don’t get is, who or what is the elderly lady supposed to represent— is she the personification of plaque psoriasis, as in, Ned is embarrassed to be seen in public with her, and she’s always lurking on the periphery? That seems kind of rude and ageist to the elderly. Or, is she the personification of Otezla, like a good witch who shows up to keep Ned’s psoriasis at bay and give him confidence?
Also, what kind of a lame-ass first date is meeting for a movie? One, if there’s no initial attraction you’re stuck in the dark with the person for two hours. Two, there’s no opportunity to talk and get to know each other. At least, go out for coffee or a drink after, and use the movie as a subject of conversation. But they said goodbye right after and went their separate ways. Maybe the date didn’t go so well? But that doesn’t seem like a good commercial message. I think I need a sequel to find out what happened with Ned and his nameless date,
ETA: the commercial just came on again. The elderly lady appears at Ned’s side for a picture, wearing red, just as the announcer says “Ned thinks his flaky red patches are all people see”. So it appears she is supposed to be the personification of plaque psoriasis.
I’ve been watching a series on Freevee which has a minute or two of commercials every 20 minutes or so. The one that is played over and over again is the Cologuard ad. I am so tired of watching people singing and dancing with their Cologuard box to the tune of I Did it My Way!
I always feel sorry for the USPS or UPS worker who has to handle the Cologuard box.
I always replace the last line, out loud, with: “So I shit into a box and then mailed it away.”
At least the UPS driver is dressed for it.
What can Brown do for brown?
