The Snickers one with Marilyn Monroe was just stupid. I kind of like the avocado, “Does anyone want to feed Scott Baio?” ---

The Hyundai commercial enables people to be stalkers. I’m also not of a fan of the two commercials so far with no audio to identify the product. ---

Audi’s astronaut slipping into dementia was kind of unsettling. In spite of Bowie soundtrack. ---

Not very many good commercials this year. A couple have got a chuckle out of me (the ultrasound Doritos, the Skittles with Stephen Tyler), but none of them would be amusing the second time around. ---

It’s kinda sad that almost all the discussion is about how bad the commercials are. I wonder if they are really that bad, or if the people who enjoy them aren’t online yet. It’ll be interesting to see the comments tomorrow. ---

I wonder if they are really that bad, or if the people who enjoy them aren’t online yet. It’ll be interesting to see the comments tomorrow. This thread seems slower than I’m used to. So does the one about the game itself. Maybe everyone is still eating, and will be around once they wipe the grease off their fingers. ---

PuppyMonkeyBaby made me feel old, I have NO idea what that was about. ---

I’m just happy that I’m getting most of the US ad feed this year. Depending on who gets the rights PR gets treated as either “domestic” or “foreign” and if the later, I get to watch the grand lameness that is Puerto Rico TV ad work. ---
