> [@RivkahChaya](#): > > I have always hated Cancer Treatment Centers of America commercials, and thought they smelled a little like quackers to me, but the latest one, where they tell you how in addition to managing your diet, and patting the hands of your family members (unlike those other hospitals, that just provide, you know, medical care), Cancer Treatment Centers of America will PRAY for you. Oy. Sarah Hyland, Judy Collins and Bette Davis could not collectively manage the eyeroll that requires. Wonder how they bill “prayer” time ? that would be a fun insurance claim. ---

Watched one of those shampoo commercials last night that informed me that “hair with split ends won’t pass through the eye of a needle”. It’s a good thing I don’t sew with my hair, then. ---

I know the “how 'bout those crazy TV commercials for prescription drugs, huh?” schtick is rapidly approaching “why don’t they make the whole PLANE out of the black box amirite trytheveal” status, however I’ve noticed a specific new weird trend in these. “Don’t take Dopestraight if you’re allergic to Dopestraight.” Dafuq? That’s something you’re required to put in as a legal disclaimer? Why? ---

It’s SO, SO good!’ One of them was so anorexic as to be deeply disturbing, I could only picture her livin on one carton of yogurt a day, a quarter teaspoon at a time, a tiny bite every few hours. ---

Money! Maris was heiress to a vast fortune as the daughter of a wealthy…manufacturer of toilets! I remember when Niles found out. Surprisingly he didn’t know before they were married, maybe she just said plumbing supplies, lol! ---

ANY chipper, upbeat commercial for a feminine hygeine product… there is one that runs on Hulu which is all about you needing to look good walking during your period. Dude, we’re all lucky I don’t take an axe to half the state during mine… ---

If I see that Chevy ad where people are describing the vehicle as “boss” and “dope” and other really hep adjectives, I may hurl something heavy at the next Chevy I see. (Oooops, our pickup is a Chevy. Never mind.) ---

(Oooops, our pickup is a Chevy. Never mind.) That reminds me of a time when my sister and I, both near age 10, were reading ads in a national magazine. We found an ad for Campbell’s Vegetable Beef Soup. My sister wrote, “This soup is made with pee and poo.” Too late she remembered that we had had that kind of soup with dinner that evening! :eek: 😃 ---

Not sure this is the exact same commercial, but pretty close if not: [Sixteen, wide eyes, Driver’s... - Wild Rose Miata Club | Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=856115364426249&id=298859913485133) It’s the “sweet” story of a driver’s life, which is fine until they piss me off with that final line, “Now in the garage something new, reminds you of when you were you”. Yeah, remember how sweet it was when you were a teenage boy, before all that life and love and responsibility chopped your dick off? :rolleyes: ---

Yeah, remember how sweet it was when you were a teenage boy, before all that life and love and responsibility chopped your dick off? :rolleyes: It’s not for nothing that the car in the commercial is a red convertible sports car – the stereotypical mid-life crisis-mobile. The only thing it’s missing is a little asterisk that says “Trophy wife not included.” And yes, I also hate that smug woman from the Allstate commercial who’s bragging about her driving record. There are few commercials that will make me change the channel faster. If I were her husband/boy friend, I’d ditch her and buy a red Mazda convertible.
