I've actually been wanting to discuss commercials. Lol. But bad ones. Scrooge ahead
Like who thought it was a good idea to have someone tone deaf caterwauling in a bath tub? If I lunge for mute, you've made a terrible commercial.
I don't want to listen to squeaky toys vaguely resembling jingle bells, either.
Not holiday, but if your ad for ca insurance shows people doing stupid dangerous shit as a reason for coverage, does that really drive the point home? I'm never going to climb 2 stories on an unsecured ladder with tangle lights.
There's a car commercial that makes me want to avoid that car, but I can't remember which. So many cars this time of year.
I have never seen a Macy’s commercial that wasn’t people holding bags, jumping across a white background with black and red letters advertising this week’s Saturday one day sale, with the intense narrator and music.
If they did more ads like this, like Walmart does even, they might not have to close stores. When Walmart looks like a more attractive place to shop than Macy’s, that’s s problem.

I hate the one with the soccer player who gets locked out of his hotel room in his undies, and the maid takes his picture and circulates it around the world. Imagine the outrage if that was a woman?
I saw the classic Hershey's kisses (We Wish You A Merry Christmas on handbells) commercial this morning. It's my favorite. Christmas is here!
Haven’t seen this one yet, but this is the one that always makes me say “hey it’s Christmas time.” And also freaks me the fuck out. (Local to NYC/NJ market obviously.)
(ETA: Ooops frlcb see that you did a UK shout out!) So the UK has the best Christmas ads, but ...
M&S has a Paddington Bear ad this year that I (and a number of twitter people including Roddy Doyle) swear has the phrase "Fuck you, little bear". Nothing will convince me he's saying "Thank you, Little Bear"
(watch the whole thing, but 1:10 is where the contentious line is)
“With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent,”

This is my most favourite one ever. It reminds me of my childhood and I love that they remastered it, LOL. They were showing the old blurry one like, two years ago.

Ok this is weird and it's almost like the 1st part of that sentence is dubbed over or something.

It definitely was - the original is thank you. Not the same voice. Someone is fucking with the original commercial.

I just listened to the one on the M&S Youtube site and it sounded much more like thank you than fuck you. Interesting. Don't go to the actual youtube site as the comments are horrific and very racist.

I love that they decided they reached Christmas perfection sometime in the 80s or whatever.
