I draw a direct line from that piece of shit making herself famous because of, and not merely despite, her lack of any discernible talent, attractiveness, or anything interesting to say and the presidency of TFG. She’s fucking despicable and I genuinely wish ill upon her.

Damn, that’s a strong take. I found her annoyingly overexposed, but I don’t blame her for capitalizing on her 15 minutes, and I don’t recall her doing anything bad, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I just forgot. I respect her more if it was an act. Gotta say, I haven’t thought about her in 20 years and can’t muster a drop of fucks to give either way about her.

Hot take, I never thought she was attractive. Her sister was much better looking.

Paris Hilton? If you wake up next to that, you’ll spend the rest of your life battling cold sores.

The BTN needs better commercials sales team because they have run the same ads every break

* Caitlan Clark can play hoops but can't stiff as a board and can't seem to get the jingle rigth in the State Farm ad
* The Buffalo in the BWW ads sounds like Will Arnet but is not..but I do like the idea of BWW trying to get the "Let's Go Sports Bar" chant a thing (but there is a scene where a guy looks like he is trying to make out with the buffalo).
* Old Trapper ads look like they were made by a high school club...and who knew there was an official beef jerky of the B1G.
* Also a Pretzel role at Wendy's on the Baconator sounds pretty good....but the Wendy's crew in the ad is only slightly less annoying than the crew from the Progressive Flo ads.

The majority of commercials on the ACC Network are for "tactical" products made by Bell and Howell. Most of the rest are for junk you buy online or from companies that also run podcast commercials and use a referral code.

Once in a while during a game, you get a Bojangles commercial.

It's Beck Bennett, I think.

How dare you?

I love Beck Bennett.

[Nonlinear FC]

a) I find the Wendy's crew to be slightly amusing.

Dubba cuppa java.

I like flo and jamie too.

Hot take, I never thought she was attractive. Her sister was much better looking.

1) She's not really out of the public eye. For one thing, she's got two reality shows going. Or there was one about her life and then a new one about her getting married. Apparently she's had 2 kids no one really new about?

2) I totally understand the animosity and, yes, her and the Kardashians are pretty gross (IMO). Paris is a little more complicated to me, as I've heard her interviewed and while she's not going to floor you with her intellect, she's nowhere near the vacuous bimbo she portrayed for so many years.

3) To that point, she is an outspoken critic of the for profit, "wilderness therapy" industry where parents ship off "troubled teens" to places that are often physically and psychologically abusive. There's a Netflix doc called Hell Camp out and Paris is shown on the front end lobbying Congress on the issue.

Man, for some reason I liked Zoe Saldana’s delivery of the “you look like a marshmallow” line and they replaced it??

[L-Jam3]

Who is that English guy who somehow looks like both Clive Owen AND Roger Federer (even though those two dudes don’t really look alike) in that Mercedes ad?

[Johnnie]

Matthew Macfayden.

Tom Wambsgans in Succession.

[rass]

Isn’t Federer in the ad?

And what’s up with the headrest in one of the last shots of the commercial? Looks like a puffy pillow.

He is.

[L-Jam3]

Ugh. That was dumb of me thinking that was just one dude.

[rass]

“Little tiny prick” making me laugh every time.

The online stream I'm watching for the Celtics/Mavericks game right now is from NBC Boston. So I'm getting local commercials, like this one. They really needed to get people with actual Boston accents to do this.

[HaulCitgo]

$300 and balloon of smack would have gotten them a much better commercial

[mister d]

Speaking of regional, any of the Philadelphia area swampers know where online I can find the radio commercial for a personal injury firm that's a guy who fell at work ... AT WALMART? The family fell in love with it during the trip last month to the point we all stayed in the car at one point to finish it even though we'd already parked.

[L-Jam3]

I don’t listen to a lot of terrestrial radio anymore, but maybe Pond LeHockey? Or maybe Morgan & Morgan?

[Johnnie]

Oh man, regional commercials.

There were 2 in Bossier City/Shreveport that just make me laugh every single time. If I've already posted these, whatever. Worth the repost:

I see tons of their billboards in the Poconos region. Always think there is no way those are real names.

[L-Jam3]

Dan McQuade brought them up in Defector’s podcast about a month ago. The hosts (Magary and Roth) were in the same boat as you, with Magary thinking it was how people in Quebec say “pond hockey”.

[mister d]

Sadly it was not Pond LeHockey ... those are my favorite of all the dopey billboards on the way in because I forget about them every time so its new all over again. I think this was on WRNB.

[L-Jam3]

Still my favorite local radio ad is when God commands “JACK, SELL ‘EM FOR LESS!!!”

[tennbengal]

Ok, I want to be cynical about this ad campaign but dammit, I genuinely laughed

Struggling to think of a better piece of art

[govmentchedda]

Fucking hell, that's great.

2029 Swampcrash Superbowl:

Name one of the actors, athlete, band, or animated characters depicted in the Paramount Mountain Super Bowl commercial which aired in 2024 (11)

[L-Jam3]

Now that’s how you do an ad. Legit loling.

[tennbengal]

Struggling to think of a better piece of art

Goddamn it’s good.

[tennbengal]

I don’t know what show the red animated character is from but the gruff insistent “throw him” keeps making me giggle.

[tennbengal]

“Not built for the moment I see “ - it’s genuinely brilliant

[The Sybian]

Patrick Stewart is the greatest. So many great bits in this, but my favorite is when he looks at the playbook on his wrist.

[sancarlos]

Love that 1930s-style football gear Stewart is wearing.

[Giff]

I didn’t see Arnold at first so when they said football-shape I was really hoping it was going to be Stewie. That would’ve made this my favorite thing ever instead of being in the top 5.

[DSafetyGuy]

I don’t know what show the red animated character is from but the gruff insistent “throw him” keeps making me giggle.

I'm an idiot, but that feels like a secondary character from the "Sonic" movies.

[Ryan]

Yeah that’s Knuckles the Echidna.

Peppa Pig is up for anything.
