I like the little song in the Volkswagen commercials. It’s bouncy, it’s catchy, it’s fun to sing along to…especially when you actually know the words. I wasn’t sure if I was going deaf, there was too much background noise, I always caught it from a distance or some combination of the three, but for a […]

So He’s Good Then?
Let me make sure I have this right. The Conservatives bought advertising time on television stations so that they could show advertisements like this one that advertise all of the bad things that Justin Trudeau has done, and then tell us at the end of all of their advertisements that Justin Trudeau is not as […]
Ineyescusable
It’s not beefy home run in your mouth territory, but lord, those find an eye doctor ads that poor Ben and Mike have to read on air every day are their own brand of awful. I cringe every time because I’ve done my own share of reading on the radio and I know how hard […]
Why Are The TV Commercials Yelling AT Me Again?
Perhaps Carin and I are just crazy old people (the fact that we still fairly happily pay for cable television suggests that we might be), but in case we’re not, I’ll toss this out into the world. Has anybody else noticed that, even though it’s not supposed to happen and hasn’t felt like a problem […]
Ads For Ad Blockers
I know you have to get the word out somehow, but seeing ads for ad blockers will never not be funny. It messes with your head too. You know somebody is selling out a little, but who is it? Is the blocker guy helping the beast he’s trying to kill or is the ad guy […]
As Opposed To What?
Not sure if this is a good question or if the car people are going to look at me like I’m some sort of idiot, but here goes. Sometimes on car commercials they’ll say something like “get available features like heated seats or Apple CarPlay for only X dollars for a limited time.” Yes, my […]
Dear Blue Jays Advertising Department:
I don’t want anything hitting a beefy nutritiony home run in my mouth, especially not something with jack in its name. I’m sure Jack Link’s is a fine product, but I nearly chucked when I heard that ad just now. You’ve unleashed some rather off-putting commercials in the past, but this is by far your […]
Mini Golf
I saw a strip club across the street from a mini golf place. I’m a liberal, but that’s too much for me. What if you’re just trying to have a nice afternoon with your family and then your kids look across the street and have to see a bunch of losers playing mini golf? By […]
Are You Being Passive-Aggressive To The Computer? That’s What I Thought!
I keep seeing this commercial where there’s this warm fuzzy style music playing and this kid is asking her virtual assistant questions. First, it’s how old is the earth, and then the kid starts asking unanswerable questions like “Do you know how the sun feels on your face?” and “Have you ever seen a shooting […]
A Real Person In An iPad Commercial
Zebra Corner, the guys who put that dude into all of those stupid Chevy commercials, are apparently still doing this. The Daytona 500 part is good, but I laughed out loud at the “What’s a computer?” iPad commercial. It’s so simple yet so perfect.
