Doctors who present slide shows on their tablets, facing the screen out and away from them.
A perfectly multiethnic group of conventionally attractive BFFs. - white, black (light skin with type 3A or 3C hair), Asian, and Hispanic/Latino – in their late 20s or early 30s.
Getting really excited about salad.
A fridge full of nothing but yogurt.
Cradling a cup of coffee or tea with both hands, and leaning your head back really far after every sip.
Finding a perfectly restored or preserved Craftsman bungalow for US$249,900.
Trashing a living room after your team scores a touchdown or goal.
Not a tv ad, a print ad - usually before the superbowl, in the coupon insert of the newspaper, usually for Kraft foods, for pepperoni, junk food - coupons for cheese and snacks, and recipes how to make dip. For years and years I’ve seen these ads. A group of excited, attractive, youngish football fans sitting crammed together on a huge couch. White couples, a scattering of black people, one or two Asians. All of them ‘lit’, happy, wearing matching jerseys, and one of the men holding aloft a football. (which I don’t get - when people watch ice dancing, do they hold aloft a pair of ice skates?)
My experience with watching the superbowl is bringing the pizza, wings, and beer to the fat guy sitting in his recliner in front of the tv. A shocking lack of photogenic same-age friends to come over for a big fat jolly superbowl party!
People going into their doctor’s office and demanding the newest medicine for whatever (because you know he’ll get pissed and order a chunk of your liver removed every week for the next six months for “tests.”)
