My husband and I are enjoying this Toyota Highlander commercial, in which a dad decides not to bring his kids to see their grandparents: ---

Sprinkles! 🎉 I know I’m meant to identify with the parents in that commercial (I remember when that song was released!), but I completely feel what the girl is thinking when she just spins around and walks out. ---

Lily always makes for a good commercial, but this one, with her line at the end & her expression whilst breaking the 4th wall (?) just cracks me up.

I like that Allstate commercial, too, but I am SOOOO over that French song. It’s been overused lately. “Scoop! There it is!” gets sung by me ever single time. But my absolute new favorite is that beautiful dog in the AirBnB commercial. I haven’t seen it on TV yet. Thanks for posting it! I like the “pipes” problem in the Geico(?) ad. I’m racking my brain to figure out the next house issue they can come up with. I guess I’m not an ad exec. 🤪 ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > OMG you guys, is this the best commercial ever? To be honest, I don’t find the idea of staying at an Airbnb all that appealing (I prefer the privacy and anonymity of normal hotels) but if there’s a cute dog to play with, I could warm to the idea. ---
