Some stoopid weight-loss compound has an ad where they are making all kinda claims, and some woman says, “We couldn’t say it if it wasn’t true!”
Oh, Deary-Dear!
Hell is the place where the beer bottles all have holes in the bottom, and the girls don’t.
Nerdwallet jumping on the dumb song bandwagon.
Popeyes, “We don’t make sense, we make chicken.”
Jack-in-the-Box has a new ad for their wraps. “So if one of your resolutions is to pay less and eat healthy… ish, we’ve got you covered.”
Hmmm, that “ish” is doing a lot of work.
Makes more sense than that froofy tequila (1896? 1984? some date name) tagline. “Taste is not an option!” Sure, the commercial goes on to clarify with something to the effect of ‘it’s the only thing’ but that is not is not the sticky tagline.
After the “baby hear, baby say” commercial, I understand.
The ad writers at Liberty Mutual have a running web search on “firearms violation” reports to see which of them wins the bet for who can be first to provoke a use of the Elvis Remote Control.
Air bnb commercial… static picture of a lake with ducks flying overhead and quacking. Do ducks quack while flying? I guess where some ducks are flying others are on the ground.
Static picture man on dock yelling, “I need everybody to quiet down and pay attention…”
Who’s he talking to, the ducks? 'Cause they’re the only ones there making noise.
Guy then yells, “CANNONBALL!” Series of static pictures shows guy run and jump off end of dock - except he does NOT do a cannonball. He does a front flip.
I’m just puzzled by the whole ad strategy.
ro. I’m not really sure what it is, but it comes in a little hypodermic needle that you stab into your gut. With that simple invasive procedure AND DIET AND EXERCISE you too can lose weight.
Is anyone else seeing what I’m seeing? Hey, how about just the diet and exercise and you skip stabbing yourself in the stomach every day? I can’t imagine what the instructions are …
Remove needle from packaging, sterilize injection area with alcohol, firmly jab the sharp, sharp, sharp metal needle into your fat rolls, now run five miles and eat a salad.
I bet it’s just a saline solution and it’s a huge grift.
I’m not exactly sure which commercial you are talking about - but if the hypodermic needle you jab into your gut once a week ( not daily) is Ozempic, Trulicity, Wegovy etc. my experience * is that you don’t “diet” in the sense that “diet” is ordinarily meant. Yes, you eat fewer calories but it’s not because you are consciously avoiding calories. It’s because those drugs suppress your appetite and slow digestion. It’s really easy to eat fewer calories when you don’t want to eat. It’s much harder when you do want to eat.
* I take one, but I take it because I’m diabetic - the weight loss is just a bonus.
I laugh at the fact that every weight loss pill or fad diet commercial has the fine print “Significant weight loss may occur, when combined with a healthy diet and an exercise program.”
The Liberty Liberty Liberty folks are back with a new commercial - the ‘actor guy’ who flubs up requiring many takes is standing on stage attempting to say ‘Liberty’ and just spouting off endless nonsense sounds out of his mouth until I wish I could toss a rotten tomato right at his head. Even the stupid baby saying ‘Liberty’ as its first word is better than that. … At times in the past, the Emu was kind of amusing. I actually would like to see the Emu come back.
That looks to me like a test for BMI not a shot. If it’s the one I’m thinking about.
I think I found it. Not sure why I’d need to pay $145/month for ongoing care if my insurance is covering the medication.
Is that the commercial where the lady says she can’t believe the difference a tiny little prick can make? We always snicker.
The idiotic iPhone 15 singing outlet commercial drives me bonkers. Plays a lot during the NFL broadcasts.
It’s so sad! Just like that Ikea lamp commercial!
i did feel sorry for the lamp.
Yeah. We have wild ducks around that often nest in our complex. Two of them once flew by my living room windows, and they were quacking as they were flying.
It’s just a lamp! The new one is better!
The music tells you to be sorry.
I didn’t feel sorry for it but it still worked. Seemed like a waste of a perfectly functional lamp.
