The Dairy Queen commercial where some poor schmuck is in terror that he’ll lose his shitty, minimum-wage fast-food job because he accidently mixed a Blizzard with Reese’s peanut butter cups and Reese’s Pieces together. Or something. It’s sugar and sugar in a sugar matrix. Of course it’ll be a massive hit. ---

Honorable mention to Home Depot for introducing “Spring Black Friday”. Fuck you, guys. Once a year is enough for that bullshit. ---

I’m a VW owner and this ad makes me never want to buy another VW ever again. Yeah, they’re selling VW’s. Notice the more they boink, the more kids they have and the bigger VW they need to get. Apparently by the end they’ve decide they have enough kids. ---

I haven’t read through the whole thread so it may have already been mentioned, but I totally do not get the ads for Viagra single packs. No, check that - I don’t get the entire _concept_ of Viagra single packs. “So guys with ED can take it when they need it.” WTF? Because it’s too hard to get a prescription bottle open when you need to take one? ---

There is a Fatherhood PSA with a WWE wrestler and his daughter playing together. The part with him and his daughter is fine and it is a good message, but for some reason they felt the need to include a postal carrier outside perving on him. The whole thing with her is weird and has nothing at all to do with the point of the PSA. They could have left it out and it would have been more effective. ---

One that is rather inappropriate: a slice-of-life Coffee Mate commercial with a woman courageously going back to work (she whips off her wig to show her chemo-bald head). It seems too intense for white chemical glop in coffee. She and the Folgers families are probably related. I want humor, cleverness in commercials, not melodrama. ---

No, check that - I don’t get the entire _concept_ of Viagra single packs. “So guys with ED can take it when they need it.” WTF? Because it’s too hard to get a prescription bottle open when you need to take one? My problem is the ads seem to have couples setting off on a cruise ship, taking along 1 Viagra single pack. So they only want 1 hard on that week? I suppose they’re good if you’re going out on a date and might end up back at her place. A prescription bottle might be a bit… cumbersome? Optimistic? ---

the little Debbie "moms of 7 am " especially the one that admits that she doesn’t really bother with proper meals and just tosses whatever’s convenient around her when people get hungry she says "were not a proper sitdown and eat around the table family anyways " I get some of the setiment as I quit eating breakfast in hs because it was hard enough to get up at 6:30 and if I ate anything it was something quick … ---
