But he got two homes runs! AND a grand slam! Get that kid into the majors!
Hey! Better than them damn drawn in ones!
Probably for the umteenth time, The Asoociation of Christians and Jews ads. They are worse than the pet ads and the childrens hospital ads combined!
I keep seeing one for Sling TV where the parents are explaining to the kids how great it is. The mother says “your father can watch his sports programs and I can watch my reality shows”. It could be intended as a joke I guess but it comes off like they’re mocking their customers. I say bring back the advertising company that came up with the Nick Offerman / Megan Mullally ads.
Sling always plays up innuendo. Remember, they started out with couples hearing “swingers” instead of “slinger”, with hilarity (or penis) ensuing. So the innuendo here is that couple are definitely not getting along. Affairs, incompatibilty, whatever, the wife is NOT talking about TV. “you have no idea!”
Nothing sells entertainment services like cuckolding.
[nodding] First thing they teach you.
Wow, I did not get that; thanks. Looking at it again, I should have noticed the tone of the “you have no idea” comment.
T-Mobile found two guys worse than those Sonic morons.
Another prescription drug commercial, this one is for psoriasis, I think, Called Sudoku. Or not. Sounds like Sudoku. It’s the tag line. OK, not really the tag line but they do hit the line hard in the commercial. “You don’t have to hide your skin, just your background”.
It’s especially jarring when I first heard it because I wasn’t watching TV, my husband was and that line jerked me out of my internetting. And they did that shit on purpose. You can tell by how hard they hit that line in the ad. I am not a person who takes offense easily-- or at all-- but it seemed like they were trying to get people’s back up.
I think they mean the background* of your selfie picture. Not your life background.
If that’s what you mean.

Yes, of course, but they REALLY hard to hit that ‘other’ meaning. So much so that I am not the only one who noticed. Many people suddenly doing a re-watch of Imitation of Life.
The girl in the one I’ve seen is obviously taking selfies of herself. I’m fine believing at most, it’s a gaffe, not purposefully done.
Again, yes. She is taking a selfie. Still jarring. And there is no reason for them to emphasize this line so hard if it wasn’t on purpose. For attention. Like I said, I am NOT the only one who noticed. Exactly what a commercial is looking for.
Ok. If it bothers you, it bothers you.
I don’t follow any social media so I’ve not seen the outrage.
Why, why on earth do the show the insects on pest control advertisements?? The whole idea is not to see the insects. Don’t show the insects!
Sotyktu? I joked to my wife that the name could cause some serious confusion, since it sounds like “so take two”.

That’s the one! I also have a tube of what I call Voltron cream for my arthritis riddled dumb back. Again, not called Voltron. Sounds like it.
Uh, Mattress Firm? Was “our customers are assholes” really the theme you were going for?
I agree, but I don’t mind so much if they’re cartoon caricatures of insects. Raid bug spray used to do cartoon ads featuring squadrons of mosquitos attacking people, armies of ants advancing on a picnic, and so on. Of course, they were frightened away by the mere appearance of Raid. Good commercials, as long as the insects were nothing more than cartoon caricatures.
