I like these two commercials that have been airing a lot latelly.

The Chewy commercial with the two dogs talking about the prescriptions being delivered isn’t the most amusing ad I’ve ever seen, but it’s one of the ones that permanently inserted a new phrase into my vocabulary, “The peanut butter box is here!” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/2nRuiZbb1D8/maxresdefault.jpg "Chewy Chatty Pets: Giorgio and Ralph | Pet Prescriptions") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nRuiZbb1D8) ---

I love the sing song way he says it, too! Plus the rabbits - “Don’t get too excited! You know what happens.” ---

There is one for I think Jack-n-the-Box where a guy is sitting in his truck and takes a bite from his Cluck-n sandwich (or whatever) and a UFO appears over the truck (as in Close Encounters), and disappears the guy’s sandwich. The next scene he let’s out the most pathetic scream/cry - which I find amusing. I cannot find a link to it - maybe it’s too new. ---

I like this Duck Duck Go commercial mainly because they get the point of the Police’s _Every Breath You Take_. Sting wrote it from the POV of an obsessive stalker and the commercial gets that exactly right.

This commercial from the Virginia DMV has the potential to be a new family meme. I saw it for the first time today while watching Monday Night RAW.

I think someone around here posted their kid was singing the catchy Skyrizi song, and said they wanted to take it when they grew-up. ---

How are they ambiguous? Because they don’t kiss on-screen? Otherwise, they behave like any other “married” couple that’s been together for a while. I had assumed that they are a sort of background expression, in addition to the wayward sheep and the song in the foreground, of the theme about being so transgressive of norms as to buy that car. Break free, sing your own kind of music, drive bigger, don’t be a sheeple.
