How many memes did that Owen Wilson film just launch?

The name plate on Shiner Jimmy's desk says Jimmy "Jimmy" Mauric.

I was torn on the revived Colonel Sanders pitching KFC. Kinda objected to the idea, but the spots are corny and cute. I didn't know until today that he is played by Darrell Hammond.

But they just introduced a new Colonel, and I am all in. 'Cause it is Norm McDonald.

Do you know that guy with the glasses and the beard that does those ads for Car Sense during Jeopardy? Fuck that guy.

Actually, I don't know if it's CarSense, but fuck that guy anyway.

I hate the 3 old women who sexually harass various men at the Volkswagen dealerships. Do you think for a second that any company could get away with that campaign using old men? Plus their voices are extremely annoying

I liked the Andrew Luck DirecTv commercial.

Am I the only person who thinks Norm McDonald is a hack? I've never found him to be funny.

I was about to call for air strikes against you for saying this, but realize that this is how I feel about Will Ferrell, who other people will defend just as rabidly.

Yup, that makes you pretty dumb.

I think he lacks whatever it is that makes us human, but he is hilarious.

Just noticed Ethan Embry, who played Rusty in Vegas Vacation, plays the dad/driver in the Infiniti Vacation themed commercial, (opposite Christie Brinkley as his wife). He looks old. And sort of photoshopped into the shot at the end of the commercial.

OK, the Luke McCown thing was funny. Really funny.

Yea, it really was. Normally I'd be watching the game on AFN so they legally aren't allowed to show commercials; however, this time I was watching a live feed via the interwebs. I haven't seen commercials in a real long time and that stood out amongst them all.

I love this Harlem lacrosse commercial.

Nike made an awesome video for themselves and the University of Oregon. They recreated the toga party scene from Animal House with famous Oregon alumni.

Post by **brian** » Sun Sep 13, 2015 10:58 am

Making it even better is that Animal House was shot on the University of Oregon.

I wonder what was Fan Duel's ad budget over the past month or so. Those commercials are on constantly.

Nfl doubled their deposit.

Those addictions are a hell of a business model.

Absolutely hilarious.

Whats up with that increasingly aggressive FanDuel guy? You get the feeling if they kept rolling next up was "Yeah I'm only 5'6. And I did get rejected by Notre Dame. So what? Who the fuck are you to talk shit to me?"

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed Sep 30, 2015 4:56 pm

Fine, alright, I'll bang some Dane chicks. How much is airfare to Copenhagen? Or, maybe a very specialized ad for my apartment on Danish Air BnB.

This one is even better:

He's just as annoying in the Wet Hot American Summer Netflix Show. So maybe he comes by it honest.

Dammit, I just LOL'd at a Papa John's commercial. Fuck you JJ Watt!

You guys, I'm pretty sure the Southwest stewardess floating in the pool is hot for me.

Does this commercial pop into anyone else's head every time you get a cold?

What you want to do is FEED a cold!!!

So is car commercials clearly ripping off a band's sound without using their music a new thing? Someone did it to Real Estate about a half year ago and now there's a new Nissan commercial "inspired by" the Pixies. That's shit.

I've seen that commercial at least a dozen times and I still keep expecting "Where Is My Mind?" to ramp up only to be let down.

At least not since Tom Waits. He's probably made more money from lawsuits than from record sales.
