Nevermind.
I like Guinness, but it does make me drowsy. When it is hot I like Pacifico.
“dressed casually”. At best. In the Jack racino near Cleveland it might be sweat suits or pajamas. While waiting for my wife one time I saw a very hot looking woman in a dress gown and several guys sit down at the food court near me. But that was only an illusion. She was the loudest, most obnoxious drunk I can remember.
Shorts and Tshirts were the most common I saw. And about half smoking.
The Johnnie Walker Black commercials with Jodie Turner-Smith are annoying because they’re so repetitive.
My Grandma used to have a Guinness story…
It was London during WWII. My Grandmother was pregnant with my mother. Due to food rationing, it was difficult for my Grandma to get enough proper nutrition for the baby. Since there was apparently no shortage of Guinness, her doctor recommended she drink a pint of Guinness every day at noon sharp. A doctor prescribing beer to a pregnant woman? Seems odd, but these were different times, and according to the doc Guinness had various nutrients a pregnant woman needed.
So the first day, noon comes around, and she starts drinking her pint. She had never tried Guinness, and thought it was awful-- she had to force herself to finish it.
The second day, it wasn’t so bad…
The third day she was waiting impatiently for that minute hand of the clock to come around to the 12.
Another thing about those that annoys me is her eye makeup. Is that a style now - rows of sequins on the eyelids and extending from the corners of the eyes?
A commercial for ProEnamel. A young, pretty dentist (I think she’s a dentist– she’s wearing a lab coat so you know she’s smart) sits and tells you about how good the product is and she has the very worst uptalk I have ever heard.
“ProEnamel? Can help us keep our enamel for a lifetime? It’s backed by science. It’s clinically proven?. . .” Well is it or isn’t it? It’s even worse than another Pro-Enamel commercial with a consumer testimonial where the woman (why is it always women?) with terrible vocal fry.
How do they expect to sell me toothpaste when whenever their commercials come on I want to plug my ears with my fingers and lalalala their pitch away?
The new Progressive Flo commercial where she unsuccessfully describes the concept of “vacation” to a young self-employed woman, and ends with “I’ve never had one, either”. I can put up with a lot from the Flo Circus, but the conceit that she is just that important that she can’t take a vacation is bunkum. She must get really existentially weary, writing policies for boats and RVs etc 24 hours a day that will forever be out of her reach. I haz sad.
I don’t think it’s that she’s too important to take a vacation, it’s that she’s so dedicated to insurance that it never occurred to her to do so.
We make fun of those by saying out loud, in the most “Valley Girl” accent… “Like, OmiGod-daa.”
That exasperated ‘aaaaa’ at the end of words has escaped California and is now widespread here on Long Island. Long before that basketball player from Cali, Karl-Anthony Towns, came to play for the Knicks.
Was gonna say this, now I’ll just repeat it.
“Irma Gerd!”
Oh wait! That Knicks player grew up in New Jersey! Also on Bob’s Burgers, Tammy’s friend Jocelyn also has that annoying, exasperated aaaa at the end of her sentences and they are supposed to be from the Jersey shore. I can no longer blame the Left Coast for this abomination.
Lola on Big Mouth has that affectation as well. I’m not sure exactly where that show is set, but they did once take a bus trip to NYC, so you might be on to something.
I asked my dentist about that very thing. She said ‘it helps a very little bit but not enough to make any real difference.’ It has a grain of truth, just a grain.
Studies also show that worker who refuse to take any vacation are much more likely to be embezzling.
Toothpaste ads are full of lies. First, you only need a glob about the size of a pea, not an inch and a half. Also, your teeth arent supposed to be WHITE but more of an ivory color.
My dad worked with a lot of cash, and HAD to take his two weeks of vacation in one lump.
Yep, many companies now require this.
If I do not see the YouTube ad for the upcoming movie “The Smashing Machine” again, it will be too soon.
