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.

Some years there were some that were at least memorable, line the weird-rear end Mike Tyson jingles and puppymonkeybaby. I can't remember what either was for but I remember the ads.

There's also an app that goes with the box and that's what you're really paying for.

Because if you're trying to use your phone less, what you really need is to focus on a phone app spitting out stats about your phone time.

I'm under some impression that the box is sold for display, so that you can signal everyone who comes to your house that you're one of the caring ones - you know, the sociopath learning how to interact with their family - without ever having to actually put your phone in it

For me this is those radio ads for Hefty trash bags. It's a bunch of people saying "Hefty Hefty Hefty! Wimpy Wimpy Wimpy!" in a super obnoxious way and it's ensured I will never buy Hefty trash bags.

I say that to my cat who has no knowledge of any of this as he’s Swedish.

E: sometimes he does respond to “hefty hefty hefty”

Content: I was in HS when this came out. I think the teachers are still getting reparations for their suffering to this day:

We've already seen a dead horse

They’re running similar ads on tv here in Finland. There's shots of various situations where McDonald’s workers are having a bad time, like accidentally throwing a tray of food at a customer, or spraying themselves in the face with a hose, but then they’re all leaving work looking happy. Apparently the message is that it’s a fun place to work as a young person, and it's where you’ll have experiences that you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

As someone who cannot speak the language, however, all I see is an ad which suggests that their workers are incompetent and will probably cause you some kind of harm if you visit.
