Commercials

This is going to be very random and probably doesn't effect most of you guys...

When I'm in meetings or watching a show I don't really need to pay attention to, I often open up my phone and play some type of mindless puzzle game. Most of them allow you to watch a quick ad to get some coins or advance the game or whatever.

The exception is the stupid fucking Royal Match game/app. Where other apps have a 10 or 15 second ad, this fucking thing loads up a 60 second ad, and when you click out of that, they put you through another 20-30 seconds of bullshit.

It's really fucking frustrating.

In that new Progressive "Turning Into Your Parents" commercial where the guys are building a fire - who's the guy standing in the middle (next to Dr. Rick)? He looks damned familiar but I can't find his name.

Sugar's husband from the Bear.

Thank you!

I guess the reference in the commercial actors thread wasn’t explicit enough

Put some respect on Pete!

I turn on airplane mode when I'm wasting ten minutes for a break during the middle of the day to avoid commercials (and their podcast interruptions) when playing a game. I'll be at my computer, so I would only potentially miss a phone call, which is yet to happen (and looking at my recent calls, this seems unlikely to change).

I bet that new State Farm commercial broke NFL Juju’s heart.

Also could have posted this in the Singularity thread, I guess.

Plus AI auto-ordering shrimp cocktail.


Anyway, does Post Malone have gambling debts or something?

10/10. No notes.

The commercial that really bothers me these days is the one with the Office supporting cast looking all suave in a modern, not Scrantonian setting.

God knows I'm not one to talk (yet here I go!), but the aging wasn't so graceful to some of that cast.

So, it appears the wife dies sometime between the emu leaving home and getting his first commercial five years later.

[rass]

"The emu" has a name, man...

I just rewatched the commercial on YT and I don't know if that's at all explicit.

She's not present in the closing portion of the commercial. And he has his recliner positioned almost right in front of the TV such that no one else in the room could watch. And there is a box of tissues nearby. But no overt evidence that she's dead vs in another room vs not home vs left a guy who didn't believe in his ward's dreams.

[Giff]

Just seems weird to give her screentime when LiMu the Emu leaves, but not when he finds out LiMu the Emu fulfilled their dreams.

[A_B]

The husbands an asshole and she left him for a spin cycle teacher just after LiMu left.

[Nonlinear FC]

She totally left that asshole.

[Giff]

I like that explanation better.

She left for the stand in model for Doug. Or maybe the wax figure guy. His nostrils are amazing.

If you swap Bob Ross with A Different World and the 80s Texas Longhorns women’s basketball team with the Katy High School color guard, that Invesco commercial would be very autobiographical.

[rass]

I think Progressive Jamie has had some work done. He’s looking a bit Tom Brady in the most recent commercials.

[rass]

How long until the Modelo commercials celebrate a white guy sinking a putt?

I realized while having DD&D on in the background that I've instinctively yelled out "paprika!" at least three times. Now a fourth while typing this post.
