    Microsoft: Makes “grl power!” commercial featuring woman with her own sneaker company; doesn’t name it lest it distract from moving x-plus-1 units of Windows.

    Anything where you have to explain why that person is in the commercial.

    I just saw a tea commercial about lower sugar sang to Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me”
    It was a minor miracle nothing went flying through my tv.
    Awful.

    It really shouldn’t bother me—especially since it’s way better than the two jackasses—but the Sonic commercial where it takes multiple people to make one milkshake irrationally bugs me. Anyone who worked in fast food knows what a load of crock it is to suggest you have one guy just to put on sprinkles because you need everyone on shift making one person’s milkshake.

    Fuck, now I want ice cream …

    You know that Rocket Mortgage ad with Anna Kendrick where Barbie buys her dream house by beating out Better Offer Betty and Cash Offer Carl? Better Offer Betty is Asian. Cash Offer Carl is Black. The seller presumably refuses to sell to them so it can go to the pretty blonde with an inferior offer.

    Kinda feels like bullshit.

    Just wait until Graham Wellington swoops in with a late bid.

    God bless Jack in the Box for being a longtime sponsor of Mariners baseball games on TV, but after seeing an ad for their latest concoction (a double bacon bits/Cheese Whiz burger), I’m reminded that there are two kinds of people:

    Those who enjoy Jack in the Box food, and those who are sober.

    Also those who work in towns where your only options for food after work are Denny’s or JiB.

    …. who may or may not have been drinking on the job …

    They used to have the best fast food fries. But their new recipe is terrible.
