Speaking of words, you do have to admit that Liberty’s jingle is some fine songwriting.
It doesn’t have that many fewer words than My Sweet Lord
Taco Bell, your nacho fries are nowhere near as great as your commercials make them out to be.
They’re all right, but a bit overpriced for what you get, IMO.
Why is a cruise line using a song that is blatantly about using psychedelic drugs? That one really puzzles me. Do they really not know what it’s about?
Which commercial is this?
This one.
It’s about taking a trip.
That’s actually pretty damn cool.
I’m willing to bet that the same soulless hack who wrote “Today’s the Daisy” also wrote the new Skyrizi jingle.
You can actually hear the singer’s soul dying in both.
The Turbo Tax “all people are tax people” is both horrible and catchy, so sticks in your head, annoying you far past its 30 seconds.
I’m sparing you by not linking to it.
And the “dancing.” :shudder:

Is that the one where they show people supposedly “doing their taxes” while they’re doing other things? No, they aren’t doing their taxes, they’re paying someone else to do their taxes.
No, it’s brilliant because Mayhem/Dean Winters played Tina’s/Liz Lemon’s boyfriend Dennis on 30 Rock. He called her “Dummy” which is why her “Who’s the dummy now?” is funny.
Better than the cruise line that used " Lust for Life. "
A couple cell phone companies might be kinda racist. Consumer Cellular has a black woman happy to save money, “Now I can go shopping!” Another black woman is glad that weekends are free so she can spend Sundays talking with her mom. Seems cliched and kinda offensive.
all the damn income tax commericals which most of em have been recycled for a few years
No, that’s H&R Block. TurboTax is the one with all kinds of different people succeeding at all kinds of difficult tasks, like burping a baby, or balancing on the back of a mechanical bull, or making a giant science project volcano. The guy reaching around and smacking the microwave that is behind him.
Are those stereotypes? Isn’t it more a female stereotype to spend all their extra money shopping, no race specific? And spending Sundays talking to mom doesn’t seem particularly black to me, either.
They’re TV Black stereotypes.
Wounded Warrior Project has one with a guy whose Humvee got blowed up by a couple IEDs. He says that at one point the doctor told him he had reached his plateau. He gets all huffy, saying, “I don’t have a plateau,” so he set out to prove the doctor wrong. I don’t want to give him shit in person because the inside of his skull had played handball with his brain, but I want to tell him how medical sorts use “plateau”:
-
To describe a real, temporary situation in which your progress pauses after going great guns; your body catches its breath.
-
The doctor thinks you’re dogging it and wants to piss you off so you work harder.
Either way, it’s not an endpoint.
