I generally hate them, but the one when he goes all nutso over a celebrity is right. Celebrities are people, out doing people stuff. Wave, maybe say “thanks” or “big fan”, but don’t bother them.
Right.
I ate at a similar salad bar place in SF- great salads, but very pricy. They had a 1$ coupon and a card where if you had 6 punches you got the 7th free. Once they got rid of both those, raised the prices and switched to an app (where the deals were nowhere as good), I stopped eating there.
Actually saw a Consumer Cellular commercial that’s been airing for quite some time, and…it makes no sense. It’s the one where the lady is inside chatting on speakerphone with the CC rep while hubby is outside frantically trying to get her to pay attention to his ‘diving’ skills…then suddenly the audio cuts out. CC rep is concerned, but no worries! The lady explains that she has been muted. Except that the camera is on her when the audio cuts out, and her hands are nowhere near the area of the phone’s screen where one typically finds a mute button. 
It seems to me like whoever wrote the commercial has no idea of how muting works.

This is one where I only half paid attention, and was puzzled by the repeated yelling in the background. Pro tip - before complaining about a commercial, make sure you actually pay attention first. (That’s a note to myself.)
Besides, he has no one to blame but himself that he wore himself out without her paying attention to him. Pro tip - get their attention before you show off. (This one is to the idiot in the commercial.)
I had a cyst removed from my scalp just as Dr. Lee’s channel was really taking off. I asked the doctor, in this case a plastic surgeon, if I could get it for free if he would put it on YouTube, and he didn’t know what I was talking about.
I haven’t seen, for a while, the one where they’re asked how to pronounce a word that is written on an easel. The word is “QUINOA” and they’re saying, “Quin-oh-ah?” “Joaquin?” (FTR, it’s keen-wah.) I found that one amusing.
Speaking of which:
Your customers are too busy to sit on a couch to record a commerical? Funny, they didn’t have that problem a couple of years ago.
The M&Ms mime ad can fuck off. It was mildly amusing the first time, but now I am sick of it after seeing it before every movie I go to.
Brand new truly annoying commercial-- a guy is about to delete some photos off his phone, when all the people in the images start singing some song about not deleting them, in a super-annoying high-pitched ultra auto-tuned chorus of robot voices. It is nails on a chalkboard.
I agree with the Patrician- Mimes should be hung upside down in the scorpion pit with a sign that says “learn the words”. 
All commercials which portray mimes as being in character 24/7 can fuck off.
Non !
I have read submarine books since I was in my teens.
Taking your own food on a airplane is SMART not old people ish. (says JAQ, 62)
If they wanted it pronounced keenwa they should spell it that way. “Keen oh a” is a perfectly good Spanish pronunciation of that spelling, and at least in Arizona, Spanish is the go-to alternate language.
Okay, okay. I’ll stay off your lawn.
Yeah, but “kwin oh uh” and “kwin owah” are not.
Says the Irishman, known for pronouncing things as they are spelled.
Sorry, had a run in yesterday trying to post that, looking at my son, you can tell he’s from the broth of his father’s stubby shillelagh. Actually looked up the spelling and everything but STILL spelt it wrong. And also, it is very hard to check the spelling of a word that doesn’t sound like it’s spelled. You triggered me, Irishman!
He he
Hey, I resent that! It’s too true!
There’s a street in Houston, signs from the interstate announce it. Not knowing it was Spanish, I wasn’t sure how to pronounce “Fuh qua” (Fuqua).
Keen wah is a newly hip food showing up in America, so old fogeys don’t know what it is. And we can be relied upon to mispronounce words from non-English language sources.
And of course, there are words we hear spoken and ones we see written, and sometimes don’t realize they are the same word. Witness homage. Wait, that’s “o maj”? I always said “hom udj”.
Commercials with an idiotic premise annoy me. Remember the people camping out at the car dealership for some reason? Here’s a local one with an idiotic premise. They take the extraordinary step of giving you a salesman. For some reason I’m reminded of a Lexus campaign a few years back wherein they tried to make “haggle-free” pricing seem like a desirable thing in a negotiation.
I finally bought us a water flosser last week. Today, scrolling through Yahoo, I saw a ‘Yahoo Lifestyle Shopping’ link advertising… a water flosser!
Bot: Hey, this guy just bought a water flosser! Let’s put up an ad. Maybe he’ll buy one!
There is a river in western PA that I used to drive by called the Juniata. For years I thought it was the woman’s name, Juanita.
