Heart of Glass

Is there really anyone out there who is lame and Titanic-obsessed enough to buy this!?

Don't let them fool you. It is made of of glass and metal.
However, now I am contemplating a Halloween costume...

I Win Xmas!

So remember last week when I was like, "yeah lets take a break from television even though I'll regret it later on?" Well, I didn't think about most of the shows breaking for Thanksgiving and I have almost no material for this week.

So I actually had to think about something to post and this week bring you my favorite Xmas commercials! I'm just excited about Xmas. Which I will forever call Xmas because of Futurama. Xmas!

So here they are. There are probably more but these are what I thought of.

The seal-y Coca-Cola commercial. Possibly my favorite commercial of all time with one contender being the Irish-dancing Folgers commercial. How could you ever drink Pepsi after looking at the face of this seal?!?

M&Ms. The first time I saw this it took me a while to realize that Santa was referring to the walking/talking M&M's as existing. I guess I was too aware that it was a commercial.

Hershey Kisses. I love the one that's exhausted from all the ringing.


Walmart. I know a lot of people hate Walmart on principle and I agree with their opinions but I love Carol of the Bells and anything choreographed to it.

Spaceman Panini

I know I'm being really unoriginal by only posting these every week but I like them and haven't bothered to come up with any other ideas so.... yeah.

Something about the word "rapey" cracks me up.

That's what she said.

HAHAHA.... AskJeeves.com....

I Like to Twirl...

Welcome to another edition of COMMERCIAL WARS!!! That's what I'm now calling these posts. Until I forget that I called it that and call it something else next time. Now, boys, I'm going to appologize up front for the first commercial. Not only is it a tampon commercial but you probably won't get why it's funny.


U by Kotex. I wish it was like that blue liquid.

And why ARE people so concerned about wearing white in pad/tampon commercials? How much white do they really have in their wardrobe in the first place? Until a month ago, the only white clothing I had was tops. As is the case for most people.


StraightTalk. You need to watch this before I comment... Go ahead, I'll wait.....

Yeah, if an additional $35 a month will make me feel rich, I'm worse off than I thought. I just want to hit that lady in the head for her bad acting and the people in charge of the ad campaign for creating it.

Naughty Naughty Kool-Aid

I've always been pretty much a non-fan of Family Guy. It's just so damn stupid so much of the time. I do like Stewie and Brian though. And I LOVE a lot of the pop culture references.

My favorite is the recurring Kool-Aid Man. This is only the first of about 5.


You know what? Fuck it. Here's some more.


Okay enough of that.

Outsourced. Pretty meh on a weekly basis. Dedrich Badger is usually pretty good though. Makes me miss The Drew Carey Show. Kinda. Let me rephrase: he makes me remember The Drew Carey Show.

I don't know how I don't talk about Archer more... probably because it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I subscribed it to on Hulu. I just started watching it this year and its a-MAZING! (If you saw the below episode you'll get that). But no really, watch it.

As a British person with British teeth, I never tire of a good British-teeth joke.

Phil Dunphy strikes again.

You saw the ad? You want both of them? I guess that makes sense if you're trying to flip one.

Okay just a couple more things:

Yay Paul Reiser is going to be back on TV, it's been WAY too long. But man did he get old. This is pretty exciting for me because a) Mad About You will probably always be my favorite show of all time and 2) ... I don't really have a two but Mad About You fans will get the reference.

Happy Endings premiered yesterday. So far I like it but I don't know if I can really recommend it or not. I'm pulling for it because a) Kim Bauer is in it and more importantly 2) Jo aka Denise from Scrubs is also in it.

Taking a Break

Anyone who want's to re-experience yesterday's story about a boy I had a crush on in high school, NOW WITH PICTURES, it is now complete! Enjoy!




Aside from during the Super Bowl, most people hate commercials. Not me. I see them as another source of entertainment, a time out from whatever show your watching. They allow you to run to the bathroom, grab a snack, throw in a load of laundry. They let me continue to multi-task at my maximum levels. But back to them as a source of entertainment. Once in a while I stumble upon one that I thoroughly enjoy. Sometimes even so much so that I get excited when they come on. McDonald's recently put this one out advertising its Caramel Mocha beverages. I just love it. There's just something about choreographed rhythmic hand drumming that makes me smile. 

Unfortunately, these gems are a minority in the world of commercials. They are few and far between in a world of marketing morons and local advertising (those ones are the worst... except for the ones that I made). A real groaner I was unfortunate enough to see earlier this week was for Britney Spears' new perfume. So riddle me this. The line she says is "I chose my own destiny" so my brain says "I know what the name of this product is. It has to be 'Destiny' it just makes sense." But no, why would these people write a commercial that will resonate in the minds of the viewers? It's not called destiny. And now my brain hurts from watching it again.

(I'm sorry.)
