    So...is the NPH Heineken spot about "flipping meat" supposed to be a gay joke that isn't a gay joke...but it's just enough to make people wonder if it's a gay joke.
    Or is it just a gay joke?

    Maybe let's just say it is gay and leave it at that, because I've yet to see anything about it to make it worthy of being called a joke. Cringeworthy is more like it.

    Hey, don't forget Secret Santa is coming up soon!

    Is the guy at the BBQ his real partner, David??

    I think it's a different guy. Dude on the left is David Burtka (Mr. NPH) and the dude on the right is the guy from the commercial.

    And is it supposed to be NPH pitching the beer...or is it Barney Stinson? Because, you know...he suited up for the spot.

    Holy fuck, is there a sadder excuse for a commercial than the Jaguar spot with Stephen Hawking?

    The Let Go commercial with the bitch selling her husband's kegerator. I think he'd have a happier rest of his life if he just sinks in the quicksand.

    New Coors commercial:

    "This beer is tough ... but fair."

    What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Tough to swallow? Fair-tasting? How is "tough but fair" a decent beer slogan?

    Hey, it's Sam Elliott doing the voiceover. That in itself makes it cool. Right?

    They stole that from TBF's old avatar line with his cutie: She is hard, but fair. Which, of course, is a variation of the drill sergeant's saying in Full Metal Jacket: I am hard, but fair.

    I try to tell that to Mrs. Chiquet every night. Still doesn't work.

    "I overpaaaaaaaaaaack"...I'm not going to waste blue boner pills on THAT. I don't care if she's the greatest sexual gymnast who's ever ridden a bed; that damsel annoys the piss out of me. By the end of the weekend, that dude will be consuming a bottle instead of a two-pack, but it won't help him.
