Hello,

This one:



When do parents have to sneak home and lie to their daughter about having been out to a restaurant/movie/date? In my home, this would not be an issue. I understand adults that act like kids and kids that act like adults are cuter and thus may sell more widgets but this one is over the top stupid.
Look, rich people need to be coddled and told they're cutesy.

There's an add that comes on Pandora targeting young adults getting mortgages. At the end the woman says, "Time to start adulting!".

I wish to murder.
The word adulting fills me with rage.
The same contrivance that turned being a parent into parenting.
The word 'rents for parents is another one.
Who has time to say "pa" in this crazy workaday world?
Hello,

People who use lol rather than laugh out loud lack the time and energy to say the "pa".

Yet they say lol instead of putting a period at the end of their damned sentences!

Okay, I don't hate this, but did start laughing at the thought that quitting a shitty job involves celebrating with really shitty beer. What it's telling me is this woman is going to end up in an even shittier job.

I can't find the ad online, but Adult Swim has been incessantly been playing this thing promoting Maneskin, a band I've never heard of. The ad plays, like, 2 seconds of four songs, so who can tell whether they're good or not—they sound crappy to me, but, again, who knows—but I mention all this because of two aspects of this horrible commercial. First, they describe themselves as "rock superstars from Italy." Not a rock band or even, more grandiose, rock stars. Superstars. Fuck off with your cheap ad, then. Superstars don't need to tell anyone they're superstars. Second, it ends with encouraging people to check them out on Spotify. Don't buy their album or a concert ticket, go to Spotify so these "rock superstars" can make .0005 cents from your listening. So very, very sad.

There was one similar to that a couple years ago where the family is somewhat running late, but luckily they have remote start. That'll save … fractions of a second! How long does it take to turn a key or push a button in the driver's seat? That kind of stuff is useful if you live on the tundra and need to warm up a car first, but otherwise? Fuck off.

I'll second your nomination, those "so you" commercials are annoyingly lame.

They were last year's Eurovision winners. They are no ABBA.

Besides both being dirty foreigners who take jobs and don't want to work.

Okay, let's accept the premise that she really likes hypersugared peanut butter. But (1) this obvious obsessive devotion never came up before in her conversations with the guy who lives in blissful ignorance of Kraft? (2) she's not able or willing to have some shipped in or to go to an international grocery store in France? (3) she's picking a bread topping over a human being? People make the choice to give up cigarettes or booze for their loved ones. The upshot of this commercial is that, regardless of how attractive she is, this guy dodged a bullet.
