*Joke shamelessly stolen from comedian Ed Byrne* When buying alcohol for a big party it's always fun to pretend to get a pack of diapers as well, then act like you don't have enough money for everything and put the diapers back while still buying alcohol for hundreds of dollars.

Having been a cashier, honestly probably wouldnt even have noticed unless maybe you were the first customer of a shift. Its just barcodes, beep beep beep, yeah it didnt ring through the first time so its free definitely havent heard that one 5 times so far this shift, total is this, all while while hoping that its not so busy that you're slammed, but not so quiet you get told to clean stuff and face up shelves instead. I was more likely to notice someone looking embarrassed with their shopping than anything potentially odd about the items themselves (usually it was someone embarrassed to be buying sanitary products from a male cashier which... Who do you think put them on the shelves? Hand them over, I'll scan them, you pay for them and I can get back to daydreaming about having a non-customer facing job).

fun fact, this line is actually overdubbed it was "in Dallas" in the script, and you can see his lips move appropriately because he's saying "in Dallas", but then JFK got shot so they recorded him saying "in Vegas" and just used that audio instead

Watching a Social Distortion concert on YouTube and what do I see? An ad for Nickelback. Unsure if I’m old or young at this point. E: another for Shinedown. Am I trapped in the 90s? goatsestretchgoals has a new favorite as of 11:18 on Feb 4, 2023 |

The people who guessed the M&Ms thing was a Super Bowl marketing stunt were on the money. https://twitter.com/zappos/status/1623869442445946880?s=46&t=JmYiiW4S_qyw6m6xsdf0ag I guess the various M&Ms are going to cross promote other brands. It’s stupid as hell but it gets Tucker Carlson mad and horney.

It was pretty obvious on its face, but anyone who didn't realize it was a stunt the instant they announced Maya Rudolph was an idiot. That kind of celebrity participation doesn't get planned, negotiated and produced in a week.

All the Super Bowl ads were really uninspired this year. There was a Caddyshack themed ad, but starring the guys from Succession. There was one with Will Ferrell, but he was in Squid Game. They all felt like those Threadless mashup t-shirts with Doctor Who fighting Star Wars.

The ad that was a couple dancing getting drunk while waiting on hold for customer service pissed me off. Idk what beer it was even an ad for because they didn't drink it, they already were drunk. What kind of message does that send, especially back to back with that Jesus ad funded by anti lgbtq Hobby Lobby insano's? https://sports.yahoo.com/jesus-focused-gets-us-super-145800772.html CJacobs has a new favorite as of 16:28 on Feb 13, 2023 |

It's a great way to get hung up on by customer service and have a chance to hear more of the music I guess.

I honestly don’t think the ad would have worked as well as it had if they had used fake hold music. The fact that I had heard it before (albeit never at that high of audio quality) made the commercial hilarious to me.

They've been uninspired since the 90's, and only exist as a test bed for the coming year's ad campaigns. Unless there was some extreme backlash against any of those commercials, you're going to see them all, over, and over, and over again this year.

Iron Crowned posted:They've been uninspired since the 90's, and only exist as a test bed for the coming year's ad campaigns. So many of them were some spin on "a slightly weird person dances to a song from 10-15 years ago, then a voiceover says the name of the product". Just the most pathetic, completely safe, budget cutting approach to making a commercial. I genuinely can't recall the products because there were so many that took that specific approach. Some old guy in front of a fountain? The scrubs dudes and really bald john travolta, I think? CJacobs has a new favorite as of 17:14 on Feb 13, 2023 |

The word has enough ambiguity that a machine translation isn't necessarily going to get the right meaning across. If there's a universally negative reaction in Norway that word probably isn't used in the same contexts. https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2012/12/good-stress-bad-stress.html "Rise to the challenge of working at McDonalds!" is the presumed message, the general issues with entry level food service work aside.
