Rather than dwelling on what year it was when Steve finally got around to digging up 2019’s news bloopers, why not just toss some wet meat in your burrito bowl whatever that is, and celebrate the happy occasion that is the 80th birthday of the fabulous E. Norma…wait, what? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i7aObzNGuI

I Can’t Drink Lies!
Simply Orange’s slogan is blatantly dishonest. Ok, so a lot of things about orange juice Simply Orange included are blatantly dishonest, but for now we’ll stick with the damn slogan. “What happens in the orange stays in the orange.” Oh really, fools? Your product is orange juice. Orange juice, the very existence of which is …
All Of The Business COVID Commercials AT Once
I realized that everybody’s “in these uncertain times, we’re still here for you, we’re all in this together” ads were pretty much the same, but it’s sort of amazing just how similar they truly are. Corporate Covid-19 response videos are eerily similar. *Cue somber piano music* When a company or brand releases a Coronavirus Response …

badmouth Me And My Friends One More Time. I Dare Ya
Unless you’re seriously interested in Chicago transit and its troubles with pigeons treating parts of it the way pigeons treat pretty much everything, you’re only going to need the first minute or so of this video. That’s where the magic happens. Talk about dumb luck during a Morning Insiders interview – near a very busy …

The One With The Minor-key Theme Song
I got far more enjoyment out of this than I ever have from an episode of friends, so nice work. Here’s what it’s supposed to sound like, although I might now argue that we’ve already heard what it’s supposed to sound like. And while I’m here, “Johnny Have You Seen Her”, the song the Rembrandts …
We Now Go Live To A Dead Guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be9mHcfnLF8 Talking live into a microphone is hard. I spent a few years doing it myself, so I can sympathize when somebody messes up. And I think Sara Welch here could use some of that sympathy right now, because this one’s not going to be easy to live down. A reporter has been left red-faced …
Pretty Sure Walmart Thinks We’re Morons
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 …
Where’s My Remote Control
Would you call 911 if you lost your remote control? Someone did. Before we load up the shame cannon and rain scorn down upon this poor sap, I feel like we need the answer to a question that goes unanswered here. What was he stuck watching? If there’s an acceptable reason why the little buttons …
