And they continue to make new “Limu Emu and Doug” commercials. I’m tempted to find out which people are telling the Marketeers at (can’t even remember the company) that this is a great series and hit them over the head with something heavy. They make Flo look like an Oscar-winning actress…
Or the Rx that helps the side effects of the other one…tardive diskensia or whatever
There’s a local roofing company with a commercial that says, “Storm season is here. Fix your roof before the damage is done.”
Wait, hail and wind from the storm create the damage. How do you fix it beforehand?
These two new drug commercials for some sort of schizophrenia treatment could be the basis of some terrifying psycho-drama movie.
Man sitting on a park bench says, “Does my family hate me? I keep hearing voices.”
A black haired, silver-eyed lady walks up to him. “There’s help for us schizophrenics. Take this drug.”
Cut to another lady in the park looking around suspiciously at her surroundings. “People are out to get me!”
Black haired, silver-eyed lady walks up to her (with the previous park bench man at her side), “You are not alone. Take this drug.”
The other commercial for this drug is the same. People having psychotic episodes and the mysterious black-haired, silver-eyed lady appearing out of no where assuring them that they are not alone and offering them drugs. Some lady that no one else can see, apparently.
Tell me you’ve seen this commercial and I’m not the only one. . …
I haven’t seen it but I’d like to!
My current peeve is a commercial for the Florida Lottery. There’s a new Monopoly scratch-off game, and the voice-over lady keeps pronouncing it MIN-opoly. It grates on me like hell!
Their unaided awareness, arguably the key metric for marketers, jumped substantially after they added the emu and the jingle. That’s all the marketers care about.
I would love to know what marketing genius came up with the tag line “Poise under pressure and Poise in her pants.” It makes me visualize things that I really do not want to see.
Probably the same genius who came up with “have a happy period.”
Ick. 
I laughed so hard I almost Poised my pants.
Seriously. They’re trying to create a recognizable character, so the first thing they do is get a new Jake? I can only assume the reason they don’t show the original commercial (at least I’ve not seen it in many months) is because some could perceive the hint of a homophobic undertone. “Har Har. Stoopid cow wife thinks he’s having a sexy conversation but the jokes on her 'cause the other person is another dude”.
There are a lot things about it that irritate me but the worst part is that smarmy, condescending “…sooooooo…”. I HATE THAT! There’s another commercial for one of the fake meat products with a snotty little girl selling them at a stand and it ends with her saying “and I like them, and I’m a kid, so…” Arrrgh!
When I hear people do this IRL I want jam the invisible ellipses up their visible arse.
I always finish the sentence for that kid. “I like them, and I’m a kid, so you know I don’t know crap about good food.”
They’re drinking “sweet Christ, Flo’s eating our lunch”-tinis.
There’s an ad for some class-action law firm recruiting plaintiffs who got cancer using Roundup herbicide, and they pronounce Monsanto “Mon-SON-to”. Bugs the crap out of me every time I hear it.
Speaking recruiting plaintiffs, there’s a new one for abuse victims implying that the Boy Scouts are declaring bankruptcy specifically as a way to dodge abuse lawsuits.
What, they think every Scoutmaster is Jerry Sandusky?
Found it.
Yeah, I had noticed that in the first version too-- “Well, it’s a guy, soooo…” and thought it was pretty tone-deaf in this day and age implying just because he was talking to a guy there’s no possible way he could be doing phone sex. Clearly someone at the agency finally figured that out too, and that part had to go.
I don’t know if this had already been mentioned, but the Dupixent commercial with “real Patients, not actors.” It would have been nice if they had at least had a real trombone player. The way that kid holds the trombone is triggering.
What the …
Well, not sure how Progressive managed, but they found someone I’d like to kill more than Flo. It’s name will not be repeated here. Instant mute or channel change. My god, what are doing?
