I like the Hilton girl. She’s a hottie with attitude. I see stardom for her. ---

Sounds like something in Star Trek. “Captain, the Retinoids are attacking!” In the Annoying Commercials thread I said that I found the lying pimply girl a lot more engaging than the confident, clear-skinned version. ---

Question about two commercial characters I like. Is the Got Milk Aaron Burr guy the Progressive Not Flo guy? ---

I love the Subaru commercials with the dogs. Here’s their latest one. A group of retrievers pile out of a Subaru at a hot dog wagon and order a pile of wieners. They’re accosted by three Dachshunds that growl at them menacingly. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqnmETRgDz4) ---

These commercials were aired regionally by an auto dealership in Oregon. I caught these on YouTube. [The Trunk Monkey.](https://youtu.be/LexE-coQZlk) ---

Our doxie boy died three weeks ago, so I smile, but with a tear in my eye. And they’re not just three dachshunds – they’re a dachsund family with an adorable sad-faced little puppy. ---

Here’s another Subaru commercial. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azS7UpkiOEM) A dog sees a cat lying on top of a Subaru from inside the house and starts barking at it. Another dog comes up next to him and touches an app on his phone and remotely beeps the horn, scaring the cat away. Some of the Progressive commercials are pretty good, too. Here’s Progressive Park. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxF0JPUrFxM) It begins with a faux commercial showing people enjoying such “attractions” as the Traffic Jam and the Never Bump bumper cars. Cut to Flo and a couple of other Progressive agents facing an empty parking lot. Flo: “Maybe an insurance park was a bad idea.” ---

I’ve been unable to pick up my usual Internet feed this weekend so I’ve been listening to [6iX](https://tunein.com/radio/6iX-1080-s107764/) instead. They have an amusing spot for a mortgage service, the background sort of features Beaker “meeping” to the theme from _The Great Escape_. ---

The Slingers for Sling TV just kill me! The one where they have a ‘slinger party’ and a couple wearing ‘Eyes Wide Open’ masks ask when the action is going to start, (‘We are already KNEE DEEP in action, Baby’…‘so, we’re not gonna -’) . cracks me up. ---

AT&T’s “Just ok is not ok” commercials are pretty good. I really like the Dutch interpreter. “This man is very bendy.” [Don’t worry. My Dutch is ok.](https://www.ispot.tv/ad/o6VN/at-and-t-wireless-ok-translator) ---
