There's a Kleenex commercial currently airing that features a bunch of literal snot-nosed kids. It's loving disgusting. Who OK's this kind of stuff?

Not any worse than hearing about a guy tell us how comfortable his balls are in his new underwear.

I will never get over bent-dick carrot and the closeups of a woman’s crotch as she shaved her pubes. I’m not a prude, but the 70 yr/old Mom and 99 yr/old Granny I watch college football with on Saturdays actually are.

Literally the only thing I know about James Corden is how unlikable he generally is, so the fact that he's advertising Keurig makes it extra amusing. I don't actually have an opinion on the commercial though.

The enthusiasm is...endearing, I guess? Not in a way that makes the commercials good, however.

I feel like it's a slight improvement over the first taxi cab version. Which was aggressively terrible, used a bad fake voice and they also played a cut version half the time that ruin the joke of the ad anyway.

I don't know if this counts because this is more of a promo than an ad, but the Trevor Noah promo where he jokes about Idris Elba being the hottest temperature makes me want to jump off a loving roof.

I've noticed a new trend on ads for crappy devices - they tell you that because of supply chain issues, they are halting manufacture of said device so you are limited to buying only two or three.

I've seen some ads on TV no less (although to be fair on deep cable channels where they struggle to sell high value ads) that said because of supply chain issues the product was being completely discontinued after the current manufacturing run.

It must be something that works because products do it all the time on Instagram level of ads but taking the theory to TV is interesting.

I don't see how it's any different from previous approaches where they'd have a stock counter ticking down, or insisting that that this great price won't last beyind the ad.

There's also John Hamm as "smug, oddly fit Santa" shilling for the World Cup. At least those should go away soon.

Currently trying not to go insane because Hulu stopped working with my adblockers enabled.

Between that and live sports, the current theme seems to be "Horrible singing"

I'm lucky enough not to have heard the song (yet), but I'd bet it took multiple marketing majors and a focus group to come up with a song that sounded like it had been cobbled together in thirty seconds.

That commercial is harkening back to something and clearly the minute version of that ad makes more sense (and is still a mishmash of a lot of stuff) but that 15 second JOYJOYJOY clip is annoying.
