actually, Jack in the Box started that with a funny-at-time commercial…
And now that you’ve gotten me to watch it, so am I! There is absolutely nothing about that commercial that makes me want to switch to Citizens Bank. Not to mention, it gives me the impression that if I did open an account there, they’d be constantly hassling me and trying to upsell me.
Although, the ability to stop time is cool. I wonder if there’s a minimum deposit required to be able to use that feature with my new Citizens account?
It always feels like time has stopped when you’re talking to somebody from the bank.
Yoplait commercial: “Some people think it’s impossible for a snack to be delicious and full of protein!”
Uh, yeah. Cheese, nuts, jerky, hard-boiled eggs, hummus, peanut butter…people hate that shit.
I can’t be bothered to remember whether it’s advertising a laxative or probiotic or what, but there’s a Youtube commercial where we see the lower half a person wearing a dress sitting on the toilet,with fancy shoes, etc. They’re apparently constipated.
But they’ve still got the skirt well below their knees, sitting on it. If this person is trying to defeat constipation, they’re also trying to poop in their clothes. So weird. And I realize that they’re not going to show us nekkid side-butt in a commercial, so close the camera in and just focus on their ankles or something, anything else.
Or perhaps just show us no poop in the toilet.
A nice clean sparkling toilet. I don’t need to know people’s bowel problems to understand what a laxative is for.
There’s gotta be a better way. Ad execs, get on this please.
Anyway, they don’t mind showing side butt in the Olympics, kinda profusely, why should a commercial be a problem to TV programmers.
I dunno, but that’s the only reason I can think of for showing a person sitting fully clothed on a toilet. I’m not shy about poop, but please make the images in your commercial relevant. Someone sitting fully clothed on a toilet is weird, like they’re just in the bathroom to hide from someone.
Comcast is currently running ads with the theme from Rocky. 'Cause we all associate Comcast with being the underdog.
Comcast probably sees itself as the ‘Rocky III’ Rocky, and streaming services as Clubber Lang; Comcast got complacent in its grifting, and has allowed streaming services to become the home entertainment champ. But now that streaming services are also nickel-and-diming us to death, Comcast hopes to make a comeback in the overpriced, under-delivering entertainment biz!
Dun dah dah dun, dah dah dun, dah dah dun…
Okay, we use Spectrum for our phones. Not a bad deal.
But their “bald brothers” ad- If a many tore his mask off and another came down for the ceiling- I would run for the door.
I’m sick to death of that Amazon commercial where the Millennial singer wails incomprehensively about something in an obnoxiously grating voice, over no less than the strains of Pachelbel’s Canon in D. 
Can I vent about a local commercial?
There’s one for a law firm that uses actual clients in their commercials, telling everyone how much money they got after their car accident, because of this amazing team of lawyers.
One of the commercials in the series features a woman who actually gets the lawyers NAME wrong. It’s seems like she just stumbled over the name Bellinger, and says something like “Burj” instead. Why would the client not stop and say, “Hey, I messed that up, can I do it again?” Why would the producer not stop and say, “Hey, you messed up, can we do it again?” And why would the lawyer not stop and say, “Hey, you messed up, can we do that again?”
Seriously? Nice job, Burj! 
Another one I’m thoroughly sick of is for a finance company here in Canada: A guy and his ugly dog are waiting for the repairman to come and fix their broken washing machine, which has a rubber duck (“Squeaky”) trapped inside. The dog worries about his toy in an exceptionally grating voice and tells his owner “I love you!” for promising to save Squeaky. 
I have listened to the whole song, and it’s worse than what’s in the commercial. Also, filling your balcony with that many plants would cost a lot of money. I would like a running total of how much this woman is spending on all of those plants and pots and potting soil and plant food.
Also, very likely against the buildings rules.
That commercial? God, is that the most depressingly sad song that is supposed to be hopeful. And that poor young woman looks terrified.
I want to pick on a local attorney. He’s in the Dallas/ Fort Worth area, and competing against other big lawyers in the state. So his latest pitch is that he’s local, with the other guy having principle offices elsewhere in the state.
His latest is bragging about getting 3 big judgements, 2 for over a million dollars each, right here in Dallas. “Imagine what he can get you for your case.”
No, it doesn’t with that way. Each case has its own merits. Just because he has won some big cases doesn’t say a thing about some other case.
Or he won a case that another attorney dropped. Imagine what he can do for your case.
Oh well, at least he’s not Jim Adler, the Texas Hammer, with his CGI commercial jumping into the top of a big semi and then waking atop it to the front to hit a big red button with a sledgehammer, and by hit I mean push straight down, not swing the sledgehammer.
There is a SoCal place called Bob’s Furniture that’s supposed to be so cheap that you’ll sing" oh my Bob" from the money you’ll save
Oh My Bob! is not just in California, he afflicts the airwaves of metro Chicago as well.
Not a “SoCal place”; Bob’s Discount Furniture was originally a chain only in Connecticut but was bought by a investment firm about twenty years ago and they’ve been expanding it nationwide.
