Just looked it up. Lainey Wilson. Real song.
I want this gen z off my lawn/screen. There is an ad for a drug-for allergies I think with a woman with big headphones pushing herself and her music through a crowd of people. Selfish self centered rude…
found it Allegra-Been there Done that Allegra TV Spot, 'Been There and Done That' - iSpot.tv
Well, she’s not really pushing through a crowd. There’s on spot when a couple of children run past her and she navigates around them, but she’s not pushing.
Of course singing out loud to her private music is mildly rude. But there’s a lot of other ambient noise, like a leaf blower, cars, etc, so it’s not really interrupting anyone.
Not as rude IMO as people driving around with loud thumping music from their vehicles. That shit penetrates through walls.
If I never see another commercial with Tna Fey and her body doubles it will be too soon.
And the Life Alert commercial seems to make folks who are having an accident or health crisis seem silly. Those services CAN save lives. Did for my mother anyway.

Apparently an exception can be made if you can get that lady who sings about her heart being like a truck (“like a truuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck”). I’m gonna save your eardrums and not link to it, but I’m pretty sure it’s an actual song called “Heart Like a Truck,” and that it was used in Dodge Ram commercials.

I remember the Bob Seger song, “Like a rock” used for the Chevrolet ruck commercials.
Hehehe.
Like a rock.
I was small and I was was brown.
Like a rock.
I was lying on the ground.
We went to see Dune 2 yesterday. In addition to the coming attractions, there was a commercial for diabetes medicine. It’s annoying to see a TV commercial in a movie theatre, first of all. But this one said, ‘Not for people who have Type 1 Diabetes or children.’ It’s annoying that they did not enunciate what should have been a comma. I’m like, ‘What, you can’t take this drug if you have children?’
Or better yet, change the word order to, “Not for children or people with Type 1 diabetes.” That way it would be unambiguous.
Revisiting this Progressive commercial that was discussed for several posts over a month ago… I recently saw this commercial yet again (not sure if it was airing or if I was watching an older DVR’d show), and one thing led to another and I came to learn it contains an Easter egg. A phone number of 618-437-7425 appears on the dumpster, and it’s a real number of sorts that leads to an in-universe gag recording by the Dr. Rick character.
I intended to claim that I didn’t think it sounded interesting enough for me to actually call it, but in checking my facts for this post I see this commercial is more than a year old so I did go ahead and make sure the number and gag were still active. They are, and indeed it is not worth calling, but I felt obligated to pass all this along since the commercial had come up in the thread.
Commercial for Outback Stikehouse. For some reason a table of morans yell in unison: “Oy oy oy!”. Now, I don’t know if Australians do this for real, but we don’t need it in America. We already have plenty of annoying traits. Thanks!
You’re in luck! They may not be around much longer. “Outback Stikehouse” OTOH–

There was a largish group of Aussies at an L.A. Kings hockey game years ago. Now, there were no Australian players on either team or who were part of the coaching staff, but periodically, they’d vomit out the Oi Oi Oi chant. And the repetitions became more frequent the drunker they got. It was mega-annoying.
I’m done with the starving Jewish holocaust victims. They are all old, living in dire conditions. Not sure where. And, I agree they need help.
Putting Mike Huckabee in the ad is not convincing me to I need to donate. He’s a horrible grifter whose political life is over, he apparently missed the memo. Then he spat out that daughter, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. What a crying shame.
Someone needs to tell that charity to lose him, forthwith.
I wouldn’t give any money to anything connected with him.
Go back to your Relaxium ads, Mike. The starving Jews do not need you.
I haven’t seen this ad. Where is it playing?
It’s probably this one , I’ve definitely seen it ( and others for this organization) on TV although I don’t know which stations.
Pretty much anywhere on Dish network where ads are shown. You know the St.Judes/Shriners ads, the Life insurance ads, ASPCA ads and Lumē ads? Everywhere.
Wow. That seems like the equivalent of those ads with Sarah McLachlan’s singing over clips of sad dogs or the ones for Shriners with cute kids.
Those ‘cute kids’ on Shriners, if they’re still alive, are probably 40 years old by now. Probably look and sound just the same, only balder and more wizened.
There’s a whole thread about Alec, the “adowable blanket” kid. He’s in his 30s. Has a real job in sports broadcasting.
Caleb, the one who speaks French is nearing 20yo.
