I don't wear pants if I don't have anywhere to go. I have been in the office for over a year at this point, but many are just going back. If I was still working from home, I wouldn't be wearing pants most of time. I imagine that many/most of the people that do wear pants at home wear sweatpants or pajama bottoms (neither of which I would call "real pants"). My wife will even wear pajama bottoms to the grocery store, lol.

This is most definitely my work-from-home dress code, but they don't leave the house. Well, except on my property, if I need to pick up the trash/recycle bins, or sit in the backyard.

She's putting on jeans though, and leaving sweat pants on the floor. It's not like she's wearing work clothes. Were there people who wore sweat pants but not jeans during Covid?

Seriously, the more I scrutinize this ad like the Zapruter film, the less sense it makes.

I'm getting tired, -just from the sheer repetition, -of the woman whose "spotty network" , -causes her to show up in a Medieval costume for a business meeting.

But the one that bugs me is a current Domino's Pizza commercial. At first I thought they were guaranteeing you your fresh pizza two minutes after you show up. But, no, -the commercials says they'll get the pizza to you two minutes after they finish cooking it (however long that takes), -or you'll get a free pizza. It seems like they're guaranteeing they'll actually do their job, -that you'll get your pizza two minutes after they finish cooking it. wow, I'm impressed.

Agreed. Even with spotty service, why would that lady think it’s a costume party? She must have realized it was a regular business dinner when she saw it was taking place at a nice restaurant.

Every time I see it I think, “When you want Melissa McCarthy but you’re only filming a shitty T-mobile commercial…”

Every and any Liberty Mutual Commercial. I would never get insurance from them based on how bad all of their awful commercials are.

Thankfully it's limited due to being a trailer but the Forever Purge promo. Every time I hear that guy say "The real purge! The forever purge!" I want to punch the TV.

Ads are not random, -they have a target in mind. A friend and I have discussed the State Farm ads with (for example) "Thanks for the 'Parker' rate", the pizza delivery person gifting Jake with the Coo-Coo Crusties and The Atomic Brownie, or the Butcher with the extra meat, or the woodcarver who sculpts Jake's face from memory. I imagine it's trying to tap an underserved market, -emphasizing single people rather than families perhaps, -or is there something more going on, because they're definitely aiming at something ....

I am officially sick to death of all of the Liberty Mutual commercials.

Josh-da-man

The one that features a talking penis with John Goodman's head. It's downright horrifying.

GoldenJCJ

Well, I’ve watched a couple nights of the Olympics on NBC this weekend so that means I’ve seen this commercial approximately 6,361 fucking times!

Decker

It's painful to admit because I like her work on SNL so much (especially her work in fake commercials) , but Kate McKinnon's Verizon spot is excruciating. So painfully unfunny. And it looks like she's trying SO hard to be funny. I don't know what actually happened but it looks like she was sent onto a big sound stage without a script and was told to riff for an hour. It's a mess. It genuinely makes me sad.

Wet Teddy Bears, get your wet teddy bears!

GoldenJCJ

Yeah, that stupid “Superstar!” pose she does at the end just screams “Eh, just do something funny” from the director (the awkward laughter doesn’t help either).

DWilson

I don't hate it, but there's an ad that CBS runs for a Fall sitcom named "Ghosts", which I suppose is about a young couple (starring Rose McIver from "I, Zombie") buying a property that's haunted by comic spirits. Every time I see it I sort of expect it to be a Geico commercial.

Paff

I just saw a commercial last night for a "body odor eliminator" that is intended for use in a certain part of the anatomy. They don't say what it is, but then the subject of the commercial does certain yoga poses that spell it out. In other words, it's a real life version of the SNL parody ad "Ass Don't Smell".

GoldenJCJ

Brad Garrett’s mob boss (or whatever he’s meant to be) in the Jimmy Johns commercials aren’t nearly as funny as the ad men think they are.

TheMovieman

Only thing I can think of is how much of those drinks and treats were wasted because of that ass-hat dad. And I don't care how good those mats are, that slushie splashed on the back seat and other places not covered.

Kurt D

Seconded. The dad is an asshole to scare his kids, they're chumps to laugh at him, he's an immature idiot, the food is wasted, the kids have to sit with their feet in the slushie for the rest of the movie, and it's still going to be a hassle to remove the mats and clean them later. Gah, hate that ad!

GoldenJCJ

Not only that but the dickhead has his taillights and dome light on during the movie! Screw that dude!

Kurt D

fuck yeah! Kill him! Kiiilll hiiimmm

General Zod

Every sonic commercial.

GhostLee

Those prescription drug commercials that consist of nothing but the drug's name and "Ask your doctor about (X)." They say literally nothing about what the medicine is supposed to treat, but we should ask our doctors about it? What is even the point of making a commercial with no information on the product?

Eddie W

Based on every prescription commercial I've ever seen, these drugs are intended to make you swim with dogs, play baseball, or hold hands with your spouse in a bathtub or something.

Dr. DVD

Ten years ago Burger King was trying to push its breakfast menu with people singing an annoying jingle. Hated those especially.

In fact, I hate any commercial that doesn't depict the actual clientele of a specific product and portrays a fantasy reality where all problems can be solved by getting it.
