I’ve complained about that one here, before. Throw the dog a damn blanket, you heartless camera operator!!!
I’d guess that “$19” hits some psychological sweet spot. Twenty would start people thinking about how much better off they’d be if they devoted that amount to some other use, whereas nineteen can be dismissed as ‘a mere fraction of my budget.’
Psychologically, it’s probably not-unrelated to the reason that “$4.95” seems cheaper than $5.
You do realize that after a while they aren’t children any more. I think they’re going to miss brown haired kid. He was so articulate and personable.
Of course. I think we were just commenting on the rather obvious process-of-substitution that’s going on, as the marketers work to offer viewers a transition to a new ‘spokes-kid’ for the Shriners.
That was their older version of the commercial (which made stupid sense, but at least some sense). In the new version, both cars are Buicks.
So in scene 1 - the valet has just driven a car back to the front door of the restaurant, but somehow between getting out of the car and returning the key to the owner, he has forgotten which Buick he just retrieved.
In one of the others, a kid has apparently told his friends that his mom is picking them up in a Buick instead of saying (as I would have when I was a kid “the black SUV”) because all of the kids are heading toward the wrong (smaller, different color) car.
Then there’s the one where the surfer’s friends think that she owns a convertible and she points out that hers is the boring car.
The message seems to be that Buick owners and their friends don’t know how to describe cars very well. And that valets are morons.
But the point remains that the parties actually injured are, for the most part, props. Kind of like that shivering puppy in the Shriner ad mentioned above.
Okay, I’ll never get Hulu, lady who thinks a bathroom stall is her office.
That fucking Oteza drug commercial that goes on and on and on, with The Cars “Magic” worming its way into your brain all the while.
I think the kid who says no to meth understands he is lying. Also, now all the dealers are hanging at the roller skating rink.
Yeah, I like him. Maybe not a future in acting, but sales?
Nitpick: It’s Magic by Pilot.
The one that makes me stabby is the one for Digiorno’s pizza with the people singing, “Pan, pan, pan, pan” to the tune of Beethoven’s Fifth.
I don’t recall what car it’s for, but the one that starts off talking about luxury and how we’re supposed to “look but don’t touch; touch but don’t enjoy”. Then it shows different people enjoying their fancy car and ends with a guy stuffing a big old burger in his mouth with the obligatory smiling while chewing (gah) with a big glob of sauce on his face. Visually repulsive and makes me think “I’d never ride in that guy’s car”.
Oh, what fresh hell is this?? A spaghetti sauce commercial, Prego vs. Ragu. Featuring two toothless drooling brats covered with spaghetti and sauce. About as appetizing as a loaded diaper, Prego.
Just saw that one for the first time last night. Very unappetizing. Cringe-worthy.
Very. Babies should be served with sausage gravy.
who ever owns the rights to the music of queen needs to stop being a greedy MFer and quit whoring out the song “don’t stop me now”
its on 50 commercials in all media forms and it doesn’t mean what most people think it does…
Not exactly annoying as much as…
Adult Acne Treatment
DiGiorno’s Pan Pizza
Same actress 
I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but I hate the commercial where a cartoon bear sings a song about not having shit on it’s ass.
yep by me …I think that whole campaign needs to die
mines turbo tax …free free …ad nauseum
I officially love this girl.
