Me too! I laugh out loud when Sheldon jumps on his face, even though I’ve seen it a hundred times. Can’t ever go wrong with a turtle jumping on a guy’s face, that’s what I always say. ---

Mine is a commercial for Virginia Mason, a health insurance provider. It shows little kids playing hockey, a player for one team helps a [player for the other team get back on his skates.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_o86iRHOMY)[They also have another with a diver remove a net wrapped around a whale.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idqB-BPPHRk) It’s not often there are commercials that hit the feelers pretty hard. ---

I like the commercial for Colace where a singer sings about pooping, “feels like passing a pineapple” and “going #2 should be easy to do”. Yeah, I’m easily amused. ---

I can’t find it to link. There’s a commercial with a heavy set guy in a white body suit playing the piano. His face and hair are covered too. Has the curly tip of his stocking on his head. There’s something so surreal and hilarious watching this white blob bounce to the rhythm of his music. I think it’s Seagrams or Bacardi. I see it a lot in YouTube commercials. ---

Erin Andrews is a sideline NFL reporter. Lately, she’s shown up in a few commercials. 2 are for Uber Eats. In one, she’s on the sidelines when her tater tots and a burger are delivered. Two players come up and ask her if she’s going to share. She answers with a spin on athlete cliches (paraphrased from memory): “I don’t know. I’m just going to take it one tot at a time.” “The most important thing is to protect the burger.” “I’m going to eat 110%.” In the next, after she gets her food, the mascot of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (a pirate) comes up to her. Apparently, his name is Captain Fear. She asks, “Captain Fear, what are you so afraid of?” “Is it public speaking? Spiders? Commitment?” She has also shown up for commercials for an Infiniti automobile. It’s slickly shown clips of her checking out the car, making it seem like she’s just giving her unscripted opinion of it while she luxuriates in the driver’s seat and notices features like the car charger and the massaging chair. At one point, she coos, “Oh, she rich. She rich rich.” I’m not fully sure what that means, but it’s a phrase that has been rolling around in my head for a few days. And I dare say that they I’ve developed a crush on Miss Andrews from her advertising efforts. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPF9rTx-FNo) ---

Amazon Prime; Medusa Makes Friends. This one is a gem. Something about her hair snakes swaying as she struts in the club just makes me smile.

Like the one where the kids are told they’re not leaving the table until they finish eating, and one of the kids says, ‘Fine. We’ll sleep here.’ Not being a parent, I’d say, ‘Well, if that’s what you want to do. But you’re not leaving the table until you eat your dinner. Have fun not playing with your X-Box.’ ---

Ooooorrrrrrr, you could not force food down your child’s throat. I so hate those Kraft commercials. HATE! As a parent your job is to offer good, nutritious food. They don’t want it? Fine. Believe me, chldren will not starve themselves. Wanna give your kids bad eating habits? Make eating dinner traumatic. Or, like the other Kraft commercial, make food a bargaining chip. GAH! HATE!!!
