That’s how it’s pronounced when you write it out (actually, I’d spell it PLAH-yah). On the commercial, he sort of pronounces it in that Childish way Trump pronounces ‘Chyna’. Yes, the guy pronounces it ‘PLAH-yah’; but he uses a childish inflection.
Also, their tagline grates so, sooooo much. Corona does NOT mean the same thing as la playa. La playa is the beach. Corona is a crown. GAH!
Loathe as I am to defend sex in a canoe beer, I believe they are speaking metaphorically. “Corona” means “beach” like Luck Strike means Fine Tobacco (for us oldsters). That is, not literally.
They’re just saying that the beach is waiting for you to come and drink Corona on it.
Not buying this. Their one line-- Corona, la playa awaits-- that’s fine. But “if you can’t say ‘la playa’, Corona will do” really grinds my gears.
I have NO idea what product that’s for, either.
And I’ve seen it twice!
A shopping cart dented the couple’s car, and their amazing fantastic insurance company paid their claim on it quickly. The part with the rampaging shopping cart is them imagining what would have happened if they didn’t have that amazing fantastic insurance company.
So you see, it all makes perfect sense. /s
And they get so specific!!! “If you have H398Q98DH non-CLDHDH not accompanied by cough and non-responsive to J1J38, ask your doctor if Whattnameunab is right for you.” Also, shouldn’t the doctors be the ones who learn about these miraulous news drugs first?
That’s pretty good. I call them A-dob-a-DEEBA-dab.
Doctors are bombarded with them, with freebies galore. But there are so many and if you are doing Okay but not great on your current regime, mentioning that and a new drug isnt rude. “Hey Doctor, after being on drug xxxx for a couple years now, I am doing okay but not great, would Whattnameunab be better for me?”
The thing I hate about the drug ads is that after you take them, you live a life of happiness with no care, butterflies and rainbows, never having to go to work, or have screaming kids or misbehaving pets, etc. RIIIIGHT.
I saw Dos Equis, “I don’t drink beer often…” guy ad, during that football game last night. Those, in general, annoy. (Me)
This one was him being pulled outta some cushy place by helicopter…at the end he’s being lifted by a rope saying his catch phrase and the camera looks at his feet and Crocs fall off.
I was extremely tickled by that.
The Most Interesting Man In The World ad - I actually like that one!
Oh thx. I missed the first little story of how he got ordinary, err uninteresting. That was funny.
That should be in “Commercials I don’t hate”- it is great!
This commercial has been the topic of discussion in the CalMeacham household for a while now.
It’s for the Wet AMD drug Eyelea HD, and is, AFAIK, the second to use the King Harvest song “Dancin’ in the Moonlight”. This one is entitled “Ballet”, and it appears to be a couple of older folks watching their granddaughter (?) performing in a ballet onstage. The granddaughter is in the center and appears to be the star of the show. She climbs a cloudbank and receives one of the glowing stars that make up part of the set, after which she breaks the fourth wall of the ballet and goes down into the audience to give the star to her grandmom, who receives it with all smiles.
“How come she gets to give the star to her grandmother?” asked my wife, Pepper Mill.
At that point, having watched this commercial a zillion times, we noticed that nobody else in the audience seemed to be responding to this – they weren’t paying attention to it at all. They were sort of frozen in their seats, or looking straight ahead.
“It’s all happening in grandma’s mind,” I suggested. “Or maybe the meds are kicking in and she’s hallucinating. They ought to list hallucinations among the side effects.”
After the interlude with the star gift, the little ballerina is back on stage as if this hadn’t happened, and grandma isn’t holding the glowing star, and the rest of the audience is applauding with her, so we’re not in Grandma’s fantasy anymore. Later, we see Grandma and Grandpa escorting the little ballerina.
“Where are her parents?” asked Pepper Mill. “Or are they maybe really old parents?”
It looks to me as if the people who came up with this saw Pixar’s La Luna too many times and wanted to make their own version.
Ha, funny. Was that little heartwarming drama being played out while the narrator was reading out the long list of possible side effects? Those commercials use a combo of happy visuals telling a story and a beloved old song like “Dancin’ in the Moonlight” to distract from the narrator reading the long list of scary possible side effects.
Speaking of, I hate that these drug commercials hijack great old nostalgic songs like “Dancin’ in the Moonlight”. Hearing the song playing in the background while the narrator recites “possible side effects may include tremors, hallucinations, liver and kidney damage, risk of suicide, internal hemorrhaging, demon possession…” is like using the aural version of the Ludovico Technique to ruin the song for me.
One of the scariest things, to me, is not a side effect but the administration. Those “Wet AMD” medications have to be injected into the eyeball itself. And apparently fairly frequently.
Ugh, yeah, no doubt 
The ones that particularly annoy are where they don’t seem to mention the condition the drug is supposed to treat. The drug will apparently make your life a wonderful thing, but what is it curing?
They usually mention it once at the beginning, and then never mention it again.
