All of the Peloton commercials can go to hell. Oh, come on! Without them, we wouldn’t have Ryan Reynolds’ gin ad! |

I like the one with the dad singing along, loud and off-key but happy. It gets me--that's me when the spin instructor plays my jams (but I don't sing along). But I will never buy a Peloton. The part I like is where the dog turns with a concerned look and looks at the kid with a “Ruh? He’s doing it again.”  |

It felt like a regular family not an aspirational "here's our Peloton platform in a 10 million dollar house". |

I caught a snippet of a commercial the other day that used Antmusic! Booking.com Almost as random as using Jefferson Airplane in a cruise ship commercial |

I hate the new Petsmart commercial featuring a mother telling her teenaged daughter, who is sitting on the sofa with her smartphone, to schedule a grooming session for the dog. The daughter, seeing it's the third decade of the 21st century, promptly schedules it on line with her smartphone. She then tells the mother, who says, "Whaaat!" in this utterly baffled voice, followed by a contemptuous shake of the head by the brat.
1. The mother looks about 40ish, so the internet has been around since she's went to high school. Scheduling things on line has been standard for at least ten years. Her bemusement is ridiculous and not funny. 2. I'm tired of obnoxious brats. 3. This isn't 1985, everyone knows how to use a computer these days.

My mother is over 70 and even she can schedule appointments online. My dad on the other hand...
I hate medication commercials. Specifically the ones that list the possible side effects that are longer than the Bible ("may cause constipation or diahrea, may cause weight gain or weight loss, may cause excessive hair growth or hair loss. Me: So, in other words...everything?) and then tell you not to take it if you're allergic to it. Which, I would think you'll only discover IF you take it.
I know it's probably an FDA rule that all this is noted, but it bugs, nonetheless.

I know it's probably an FDA rule that all this is noted, but it bugs, nonetheless. It is. If you say what the medication is for, you have to list the side effects. That's why when the "purple pill" (Nexium) came out in the 90s, they never told you in the commercials what the damn thing was supposed to cure. Just "ask your doctor if Nexium is right for you!" My personal, ahem, favorite was Meridia, the late-90s weight-loss drug (it was withdrawn from the market about 10 years ago). The narrator went through this huge list of side effects, one of which was "sudden bowel movements and the inability to control them." Sorry, Meridia, given the option of fecal incontinence, I'd rather be fat. (I believe this was the same drug that was sold in an over-the-counter version called Alli.) |

After many sightings of the Domino’s commercial that mimics Risky Business, I realized that the delivery guy is Curtis Armstrong-who was in Risky Business.

Yeah, it makes me kinda sad that Booger (different movie, same actor) is out there delivering Domino's. Like, that guy (the character, not the actor) never landed a decent job? |
