Have you seen the Grub Hub commercials with Leslie Jones (?)

I think Flo is getting slowly pushed out of Progressive.

The commercial about the the University of Chicago hospital that plays "I'm a Survivor". I'm streaming a baseball game. I don't need to hear about cancer every commercial break complete with the most dramatic music possible.

Apparently Sonic decided to replace the 2 bozos who had been in the commercials for years with a rotating cast of entirely non-descript people who amazingly have even less personality

She's such a one trick pony, like a modern Bobcat Goldthwait or Pauley Shore, yet she gets commercial work

Wow. Aren't you the Eugene Levy fan? Highly diversified, that guy.

But I get it. Giant, aggressive black woman schtick. Not everybody's cup of tea.

"We shower regularly to get rid of what we've accumulated," 1-800-GOT-JUNK outsourcing its copywriting duties to extraterrestrials with autism, apparently

I was gonna post that one. It's not the message, it's her baby'ish voice and slow delivery that make me want to punch puppies.

I am also getting tired of listening to the same 5 or 6 Vari-Heal and EPI commercials, primarily on iheartmedia stations, but even others now...

I don't want to hear about "it's just a PLaaaNT!" or "oily stools" between my music.

Commercials that the female announcers have a scratchy/gravely low pitch. No, I'm not talking about Patti Haze or heavy smoker scratchy/gravely. I'm just mean in general...

There is a wireless carrier commercial, not sure which one, where the female announcer sounds like a crow as she brings her octaves down or something.

Is that the one where she talks about breaking up with her wireless carrier? Her voice is grating.

Yup, WLS is playing it right now... It's for XFinity mobile

The indeed commercial where they offer transgender interview tips was a bit uncomfortable.

Yea, an uncomfortable and WTF all at the same time.

Asking someone for preferred pronouns at the start of an interview could make for some interesting reactions. A skeptic may suggest it provides an opening for a specific type of discrimination.

Also, if they request the they/their treatment, what’s the 2nd person pronoun? Typically most interview question would only involve ‘you/your.’ Does that turn into some bastardized ‘can they/them tell me about their experiences...’

The point where the recruit is interviewing the recruiter. What a time to be alive.

I'm confused by Kate McKinnon's manic expressions in her new Verizon spot. Is she trying to be sultry, exceedingly serious, or really happy, all at the same time?

I actually find her hilarious.

In that spot or just generally? Totally possible her bit in the commercial just goes over my head.

Generally. I like her.

The commercials for Samantha Bee's show are so insipid I think she and her staff get ideas for the show from Julie DiCaro's posts on Twitter.

We know that Samantha Bee and Julie DiCaro both have, uh, "complicated opinions" on school districts.

I was reminded of another one watching TV this weekend...

The OnStar commercial with the mom who went off the road.

So let me see if I get this straight;
- A school bus goes by and doesn't see them to render help
- A bunch of bicyclists go by the other way, and don't see the vehicle off the road, stopping to render any form of help
- Finally a fire truck comes (because OnStar automatically called), and a firefighter with a thick east coast accent says he found them

But what really tops it off, is the mom asking if her child is ok. I get that they show the drivers door up against a boulder and it's even said she's trapped and can't get out. But I, as a parent, would've found someway, somehow, to get out or get to my child/children in the back seat of the vehicle if it meant kicking out windows, climbing out the passenger door, etc... I wouldn't just sit there while a school bus went by, then a bunch of bicyclists went by, waiting on rescue people to show up while my child/children could be seriously wounded.

AWN-star

Yea, it's a pretty thick accent.

Thought of a few more (TV and radio).

1) The U-are-a-bus (Subaru) commercials with the dogs in human roles.

2) Commercials (primarily on the radio), where the man, usually a husband, is the idiot in the commercial.
