Okay, technically this should be a general question, but I find my urge to ridicule is actually far greater than my need to find an answer.
On the new(ish) DirectTV commercials they give a long shpiel about how great the service is: huge variety, crystal clear pictures, hot and cold running handjobs (not really) and (drumroll)…sound on every channel.
What?
Holy crap! Talkies! In the privacy of your own home! Marvel at the wonders of the 21st century! Movies with sound…piped into my very own inner sanctum! When will wonders cease?!
“My God, Margaret! Never mind the air car! Pop some dinner pills in the reconfabulator and get the kids! We’ve got talkies!”
What blows my mind is the amazed tone of voice the announcer has when he says it. If this were a car commercial, he’d be saying something like “rubber on every tire!” “Steering wheel turns right and left!” “The driver’s seat faces forward!”
Ah, well. That’s it. Doesn’t get any more mundane and pointless than this, folks. Unless any of you have enough experience with the bizarro world these ad folks live in that you can tell me what’s going on, I guess this thread’s going to be dedicated about (un)extraordinary claims you’ve found in advertising.

Sound on every channel.
