yeah I see how it could be fraud now
Arby’s “Slicing Up Freshness”. We slice our meats at the restaurant rather than at some factory.
Translation: Who really cares what the hell is in the stuff we’re feeding you. It’s more important that we slice the processed pressed together food chunks here instead of there.
I’m pretty sure that no policy includes a provision for replacing a broken window with a hot tub.
talking about a different commercial
and clearly your policy isn’t as good as mine
I tried to order Domino’s pizza online a year or two ago.
Apparently, their website doesn’t (didn’t?) like Macs.
I never thought of Sam Adams as bad beer, nor do I have a negative image. For a mass-market beer, it’s pretty good. I just prefer to ‘drink local’. I mean, I don’t drink often; so when I do, I don’t want it to be ‘just a beer’.
‘Maxwell is out and about… with Ted’s now ex-girlfriend.’
After the ending: Ted’s ex-girlfriend then realises, 'Hey! Maxwell is a pig! Men! :mad: ’
Geico *could *save you up to 15% or more…
Takeaway: Geico might save you 15%, maybe less, maybe more. In other words, we ain’t promising nothin’!!
How about Cialis? “Women! It’s not your fault if your husband doesn’t get it up!”
Because you still have so much in common and you still make him laugh.
Toyota Tundra: Building a baseball field next to the house will prevent any more balls from coming through your windows. And as soon as you build that fancy treehouse, those kids will stop climbing that tree. It’s their thing, don’t try to make it yours.
And that SUV ad: Taking your teenage son camping once in 15 years will make him lose interest in computer games.
Dudley Moore made a movie, Crazy People, in which he played an ad exec who wound up being committed to a psychiatric hospital because he started writing ads which told the blatant truth. One of his ads:
“Jaguar – for men who’d like hand-jobs from beautiful women they hardly know.”
Your exactly the kind of person the ad is catered to.
Among a lot of craft/micro brew fans, Sam Adams is seen as no better/only marginally better than Bud, Coors, etc…even though many of those people might not have had it in a long time, i.e. since they became craft brew fans. They could even like the taste were an exact duplicate of it brewed by some local microbrewery.
So Sam Adams tricks them, because there is a SHIT LOAD of bias in anything subjective like that*. If they were told up front it was Sam Adams, they’d be more inclined to say it’s not as good, because of their inherent bias.
*For a great example, look up some wine tasting experiments. Things like serving the exact same wine twice, but the first time saying it was a $5 bottle, the second time saying it was a $100 bottle, and naturally the second time around it scores much better.
The message from all these ads is, “The first step toward more sex with your spouse is separate bathtubs.”

I thought Ted was LUCKY, man! He might have married a girl who’s into bestiality!!!
Here’s a few off the top of my head.
The Overly Jealous Girlfriend Dunkin Donuts commercial - Dude, RUN. If she does this every other time there’s another woman in the room, the sex better be mind bendingly superior to all other forms of sex there ever was or will be. Also the sandwich is awful.
Any commercial advertising something that may make your morning more bearable: If the sun is up when you wake up you are late for work and/or your kids are late for school. Also, the sunlight doesn’t shine through windows on opposite walls to light the product.
Luxury Car commercials have always pissed me off since I was a kid. Why exactly should I spend double to triple per month on a car in which you took 30 seconds to tell me absolutely nothing about it? Even when they take the time to show you some luxury feature, it’s just going to be installed on lower end models inside of 5 years anyway.
Every other car commercial seems to go out of its way to completely insult whoever isn’t their target demographic. “Don’t be that uninteresting slob buying fast food and doing laundry in a laundromat driving in a basic sedan. Get an SUV and your life will be AWESOME!”
Ted dodged a bullet. Thank God he didn’t have GEICO.
Sam Adams is certainly better than Bud or Coors, or Miller or whatever; and I’ll have a Sam Adams over many brands any time. But since I don’t drink often, I prefer a Mac & Jack’s or whatever is seasonal at Boundary Bay or Chuckanut brewery.
Going back a few years to the laxative commercial that featured smiling, not-a-care-in-the-world middle-agers walking on the beach, with James Brown playing on the soundtrack:
“I feel good, I knew that I would”
really meant
“It felt good, I knew that it would”
Dyson is a British company. The guy in those commercials is James Dyson, a British dude. Of course he has a British accent. Do you expect him to fake an American accent to sell us vacuums? Next you’ll be expecting Colonel Sanders to speak in valley speak. “Dude, that is some sweet chicken, man.”
Not quite right. He was mentally blocked on his advertising and thought he was cracking up and had himself committed. At the psychiatric hospital, he got the mental patients to help him with his new strategy of telling the blatant truth.
Tis the season…again…
Which trope is more aggravating:
- the overly jealous, clingy and/or bitchy girlfriend/wife?
- The entirely clueless mush-headed dude who probably need to be reminded to breathe?
