Commerical #1
A husband and wife are taking turns preaching the gospel of Dish Network (I think). At the end of the commercial, she dumps a bowl of popcorn on his head.
Why?
Commercial #2
It’s morning and a voiceover tell us that Tuesday (or is it Thursday) is trash day and always has been. We see various people in a suburban neighborhood taking their trashcans to the curb. A wife is taking a trashcan to the curb, but wait, she doesn’t really take it to the curb. She puts the trashcan behind her husband’s SUV. As he’s backing out of his driveway, presumably to go to work, his vehicle’s warning system chirps, indicating he’s about to back into something. When he gets out to see what’s behind his truck, he sees it’s the trashcan.
Huh? Why didn’t she just take the trashcan to the curb like she set out to do? Why did she put it behind his SUV? I don’t really watch shows like Punk’d, but I would imagine that couple’s a bit too old to be in to be pulling pranks on each other.
I fully admit I’m not giving either of these commercials my undivided attention, so don’t think I’m too much of a moron.
In the first commercial, the couple are doing the badly written fake cute dialogue and half the times she tries to say something, he goes “no, wait, honey,” and keeps talking. So the popcorn is her mini-revenge. It’s a very poorly odne commercial. (why, no, I didn’t get any studying done last night, why do you ask?)
In the second one, the ad is for the vehicle and its back-up warning system. Apparently, it’s the husband’s job to get the trash to the curb and he has forgotten to do it, so the wife put it behind his car, where he’ll have to notice it with his back-up warning system.
I hate it, personally, because of the passive-aggressive bullshit behavior of the wife. The curb is three feet away from the back of his car - either walk the rest of the way or just tell him to take the trash out, you bitch!
It’s just a stupid commercial and I shouldn’t get so worked up over it, but I just hate it.
BTW, I finished The Nanny Diaries and just loved it. I laughed out loud a couple of times
I loaned it to a co-worker and my sister wants it when she’s done, so it’s really making the rounds. Thanks again.
Another commercial that only makes sense if you pay close attention but really isn’t worth the energy-
the car rental commercial about a vacationing couple which starts with a stop at the world’s largest walnut & ends with whalewatching, in which the wife expresses her new love for Orca.
Commerical #1
Women are intelligent and men are stupid and take credit for all the intelligent things women do, and it’s funny when women hit men, or throw things things at them.
Commercial #2
Men are stupid and lazy and women are intelligent and do most, if not all of the work and the more mature and intelligent woman is teaching her lazy, childish stupid husband a lesson.
What’s not to understand? Most commercials work this way. To whom do you think these commercials are geared?
If these commercials were geared to men it would be:
Commerical #1
Woman: Ooh, if you buy this product, I’ll find you irresistible and have hot sex with you.
Commercial #2
Woman: Ooh, if you buy this product, I’ll find you irresistible and have hot sex with you.
