Bertrand Hustle posted:The name "Chupa Chups" is kind of weird though because it's derived from the Spanish verb chupar, to suck. So it's like calling the candy sucky-suckies. When I was in high school, there was a Chupa Chups commercial with an animated, very hyper lollypop salivating and slurping and licking his lips, while suggesting we grab and lick him. Nothing particularly wrong with that I guess, but easy fodder for a juvenilr sense of humor.

There's a commercial that used be on here for a brand of tasteless frozen pizzas, I want to say Dr Oetker, that has a couple eating them at a romantic dinner table with knife and fork.

Speaking of badly aimed commercials, there's a brand of garbage chocolate (probably only European, not in the US) called Ritter Sport that has a commercial with people running around, riding karts, and it all seems to imply that really active and fit people love to munch on some chocolate inbetween kickflips and going biking in a muddy forest. It always strikes me as a really misfire way to push your product. Their tagline is "Square. Easy. Delicious." I'd love to see the pitch meeting where a guy tries to convey how difficult other chocolate bars are.

Arguably it's going back to the days where only nerds know how to use a computer. Until tablets and smartphones were a thing, everyone needed a desktop or laptop to use the internet, and needed to learn a few basic computer things.

There's been a commercial for a car renting business around here where a guy gets totally ignored at work, and it's just really sad, so he rents a convertible and suddenly he's getting noticed. All I can think of is "wow, that guy's a loser... that's who you think your clients are?"

I work in sort of a mom & pop store in a street with lots of such stores, and we just got a proposal from a few other shopkeepers to all start accepting bitcoin. Aside from the fact that everything I know about bitcoin is ridiculous and related to anonymous drugs purchasing, I cannot imagine why someone would want to spend bitcoins around here (despite the proposal claiming they've had a whole bunch of clothing webshop sales from bitcoin).

Avenging_Mikon posted:Holy poo poo, I remember that episode because Bones actually says "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!" I think the alien in that episode was the most low budget thing they ever did outside of just having mobster aliens. It was literally just someone undulating under a blanket painted with orange "lava" spots.

All the McDonalds where I live seem to cater to people who want to eat the same thing for the rest of their lives. At incredibly irregular intervals they offer a new type of burger for a few weeks and then never serve them again. I miss that chicken saté

Grey Fox posted:You're a saint. My dad was amped about this game back in the day (I didn't know who Robert Patrick was or why he was excited to see him voice a game character), and I'm convinced he's completely forgotten about it. This'll be something nice to break out after Thanksgiving dinner rather than just bitching about useless politicians for hours. The turtle puzzle pales in frustration to the bit where you have to show Maggie a specific item on a specific screen, with absolutely no hint you have to do that. That had me stuck for years. I can't use these two things together.

Boywhiz88 posted:Can you spoiler the puzzle? I'm super familiar with a lot of them but I can't think which specific one. at one point Maggie is following you and you have to show the tablet you found in the alien museum to her, but she'll just say it reminds her of something she can't quite remember. Unless you show it to her on a specific beach screen with some glowing rocks, where she'll use it to summon a little island in the water.

Zaphod42 posted:Yeah this is exactly the kind of bullshit I was talking about. People make up whatever titles they want, and then they don't have any legal requirements. But they make up fake official-sounding names and people totally fall for it. Irish comedian Dara O'Briain has a good bit where he mentions 'dietician' is the protected term, but nutrionist is not. I think his wife's a dietician. edit: vv Oops davidspackage has a new favorite as of 09:00 on Dec 4, 2015 |

Oxyclean posted:Where did it start/whats the story behind it? Been following the thread on and off and missed where it started. People were one-upping each other with increasingly snobbish remarks in a coffee discussion in, I think, the Life Hacks thread. I said something about having your manservant Enrique grind your beans. To this day, it remains the most memorable achievement in my life.

I'm hearing radio commercials lately (Netherlands) for I think a cable provider that repeatedly references the toughness and manliness of Chuck Norris. Every time I'm so embarassed for them referencing a 10-15 year old internet meme that I can't remember what they're actually advertizing.

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:The Dove ad is disgusting and inexcusable since the image of black people being "dirty" and becoming clean and white is old as hell. I can't find it now but there's an excellent essay demonstrating how advertising for mundane hygiene products was and still is rife with racism and colonialism. Pears Soap comes to mind, but they were hardly alone. It seems so unlikely that no one, no one at Dove's marketing didn't at one point say "guys, this could be problematic," that I have to wonder if they didn't think they could spin the controversy in their favor.
