    I thought he looked familiar. Thought it might be the guy who played Negan first. I get them confused sometimes.

    Yeah. He has this weird -- I'm getting paid for this for some reason, but my heart's not in it -- vibe. Strange.

    Not sure why, but I recognized who it was right away.

    Didn't know what the commercial was about at first, when they show him walking outside to get the mail, but it's a really well done commercial.

    It would have been hilarious if he knelt down...looked softly into her eyes and said.
    "Hi...I'm going to fucking kill you."

    Just saw the creepiest commercial ever here on local news. Sixtyish woman with gray hair talks about how her friend is always talking about funeral planning and how said friend wants everything to be pink, including the casket. She goes on to say "I'd like a little get-together, some drinks, Elvis music, some dancing, no pink." Ad was for a goddamn crematorium! Whole thing was insanely jolly and upbeat. Very disturbing.

    We're led to believe that Gram doesn't have wi-fi but can find her granddaughter on Twitter and read the one Tweet about not wanting to go to the entertainment black hole for the holidays?

    also, there's a reason I take a whole bag of just "entertainment supplies" when I travel for the holidays, for those times when I'm hiding in my bedroom/the basement/the bathroom from the conversation happening about my step-aunt's battle with shingles.

    Probably a DB, but one more fuckin' ad about some asswipe getting or giving a Mercedes for Christmas and I'm gonna go apeshit.

    The most unrealistic drivel on TV today -- and that says a lot.

    You can't spell "funeral" without "FUN!"

    On repeat on the CW app, an ad for Express that plays the same music chorus over and over ...

    That's life (That's liiiiife)
    That's what all the people say
    That's life (That's liiiife)

    And repeat six times while showing spoiled rich millennials live it up in Manhattan.

    No idea what car they are flogging but the one where the crazed parents wake up the kids on Christmas Day to go out and look at some new car in the driveway can fuck right off.
