I’ve seen different versions and length cuts of this commercial since I watch the on-air rerun channels too. I’ve seen one version where the one ‘hostess’ claims the guy doing the eye-bag shrink test is her father, and another version where the same woman says the same guy testing the product is ‘a model’. I mean, he could be her father and a model, but it seems weird she claims him as her father in one version, but describes him as just some random model in another.
Actually I was going to bring up this commercial also! The version I see says “Annette Figueroa” is going to tell us why this one’s for real. Who TF is Annette Figueroa? I just looked her up and I still don’t know.
Well, with a name like that, she’s got to be…somebody! I believe her! And her dad/model. It’s for real!
(Much more believable than my “Jane”)
She says she has good jeans, which considering she is blond with natural Aryan looks, sounds like she is saying “good genes”, and this is a white supremacist code commercial. And trump loves her (probably that way, too, if he had a chance), so it’s all more dog whistle from the right.
I’ve never seen the comercial, and I hope I never do. If the white pride contingent thinks this validates them, what can I say?
The only thing I like about the Limu Emu commercials is the bird-brain bird, acting like a bird-brain. Pecking at mirrors in the background, for example, while his owner natters away to someone about insurance.
In our market, those “younger skin” commercials alternate with tooth whitening commercials, which are just as annoying. Notice how they say the effects last for hours, so obviously you need a stockpile a lot to last going out for an entire day. It must be addictive to see yourself without bags under your eyes, that you can’t live without the cream.
It’s a play on a Gen X meme/theme that’s going around about how back in the day, no matter what happened, that was Mom’s solution to everything, and you just kept going on with life
Setting aside the controversy, I think it’s a dumb ad. It involves a pun on the word “jeans”/”genes” by saying she has “great jeans.” I know what they’re trying to say, but I think it just reminds people that Sydney Sweeney looks the way she does because of her genetics, not because of the brand of clothing she wears.
The IPhone photo edit bothers me. They draw a circle around a traffic cone or cat. One click and it’s replaced with the background.
Nice feature but the commercial only shows a brief, wide shot. They don’t zoom in and show how well it edited the photo. How well will that photo print at 8x10?
I know from manually editing that the complexity of the background can make deleting items easy or hard. How’s the lighting and shadows? Is there another object behind that traffic cone or cat?
Witch Hazel
I have three questions about the cat one:
Is the cat stuffed, or alive?
What kind of weird relationship do they have?
Why does it look like a Wes Anderson film?
I like most of the limu commercials, but I love the one where the guy yells,” You’re just a flightless bird!” I yell it with him. OK, so I’m easily amused. 
I guess I’m just an old fogey who isn’t that obsessed with my appearance. I don’t care if I have bags under my eyes, or how white my teeth are. Even if you told me that it would have 20-something women lusting after me; I don’t have the energy to keep up with them.
I’d rather have something that would guarantee me the energy and lack of pain that I had in my thirties (or even forties).
You’re not their target.
They target you with Omega 3 ads.
They have product for that, too (bluechew). And it is a horrible commercial in its own right.
Another set of commercials that drive me up the wall. The first few ones I saw, I couldn’t figure out what the product was for. Women telling other women to buy something for their man which would make them (the women) happy. Then the ball dropped. Obviously, the only way women can be happy is if their men can “perform”. I kept wondering if “Enzyte Bob” was going to show up.
Oh, now 4Patriots has pivoted from “this gas generator will KILL YOUR FAMILY” to “this gas generator will ATTRACT THIEVES.” But no worries! They’re offering a completely silent, tactical (or was that practical? wasn’t really paying attention) solar generator cleverly stashed in a suitcase. And of course you need to hurry, because they only have 2,000 of the things.
There was one on last night, and at first I thought it was a dog treat commercial. Blue Buffalo that’s chewy = Blue Chew.
Alive, I found the ad on YouTube. As to the rest, sorry.
I am with you. I might possibly have enough energy for one night, but I am happily married. Knee pain, back bain, etc. And human teeth are not supposed to be white, more of a light ivory.
I’m not about to read through this thread (and ac quick “find” search found nothing), but I wanted to post about this.
Ryze Mushroom Coffee.
An unbearably cute little mushroom creature (I think Baby Groot is moonlighting under a mushroom costume) breaks into a woman’s house and starts preparing her coffee. Talk about Invasive Species! She sees this homunculus working in her kitchen and almost has a heart attack, but then the Grootlike thing falls awkwardly off the rim of the coffee cup, which makes it adorable.
It pushes the cup of mushroom-infused coffee towards her, and the people who have seen this horror movie before are shouting Don’t drink it!, butt, of course, she does anyway. As we expected, the Mushrooms take over her mind and she starts working out in her garage and sewing compulsively and dancing with the kid next door (the little mushroom sprite follows her moves, adorably).
The woman looks at her neighbor putting out his garbage, an the mushroom goes over to his house, slipping under the garage door before it closes, signaling to the woman by turning its head sideways (an action she duplicates). We’re going to infect another one is the implication, and the invasion of suburbia continues.
It’s like all those versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but this time the invaders have learned their lesson– you can get away with it, and even get the people to participate in their own destruction if you’re Cute Enough.
Of course, I’m immune. I hate coffee. And I’m only kinda fond of mushrooms. I thin when everyone else gets converted they’ll make the possessed humans come after me.
