They keep running this ad talking about the convenience of ordering groceries from them online. Cool. I’ll stick with the Central Fresh Market because I like them more and because they actually deliver to my area, but whatever. Anyway, at the end, it mentions their “free grocery pick-up.” Well…yeah. I should hope so. Who out […]

This Post Is Brought To You By…Someone Or Other
I’m noticing a theme with TV commercials that is really starting to bug me. They don’t tell you what they’re for anymore! I have talked about this before when I cursed Sobeys to the ends of the earth, but it’s getting worse, and I have assembled a flock of them to prove my point. I […]
Maid Of The Missed The Mark
I saw a commercial and I want to know if I’m the weird one here. It was for Niagara Falls tourism, and it showed this guy talking about how he hasn’t seen his grandma in a while, so now he’s going to make time for her and take her to Niagara Falls “because Grandma, you […]
If The Amount Of Football Sounds Too Good To Be True, It Most Definitely Is
The ad Rogers is running for the NFL Sunday Ticket package this year is driving me nuts. Most of it is fine, but there’s one line where it says “get up to 200 regular season games every Sunday afternoon.” Um…no. You will not get that. It would be impossible for you to get that. There […]
What Kind Of Day Am I Having?
No idea why I’ve never noticed them before, but this year I couldn’t help but take note of the Klomps Home & Garden commercials during our local news. I’m not much of a gardener so I’m sure that’s part of it, but I do tend to pick up on ad jingles and such fairly quickly […]
Bravect…Uh-Oh!
It’s close to the beginning of the month, which got me thinking about something. Whenever I see the commercial for Bravecto, the dog flea and tick preventative, I feel like I’m living in opposite land. First, I’ll show you the commercial. So the commercial says since you only have to give your dog Bravecto once […]
We Can Make What?
When Rogers Ignite changed their slogan to…this, we couldn’t figure out what it was saying. Was it we give Mike a mop? We can like Mark? We can go to Mars? We can make a month? We can make a monk? Guaca macca mole? We can make a march? We eventually settled on “We can […]
You…Are Yogurt!
I’m starting to wonder if I’m losing the part of me that responds to the warm fuzzies that some commercials try to generate. Take this YOP ad for example. Granted, the version I keep seeing just starts with the group of four young people saying “If you want to build a better world, …” and […]
If Alexa or Google Gives You Some Bad Info Now and Then, Don’t Be Surprised
I know I have written before about a kid picking on her virtual assistant, but I’ve seen another version of this, and this one seems even worse, in a strange way. Here’s the ad in question…almost. Apparently this ad was made for the Super Bowl, and we got a slightly abbreviated one. In ours, she […]
I Have A Hard Enough Time With Cold Dr. Pepper. Who Are These People Heating It UP?
Who am I to argue with Dick Clark, but nobody ever actually drank hot Dr. Pepper in real life, did they? Please tell me nobody ever did that. It cannot possibly be a thing that ever caught on outside of maybe a mental institute or two. It just can’t. Barfity barf barf.
