    Dora's back, though. And I laugh every time.

    Ving Rhames is the voice behind the Arby's commercials, which were pretty good at first but have gotten old.

    Yeah, we cool. Two things. Don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and Mr. Soon-To-Be-Living-The-Rest-of-His-Short-Ass-Life-In-Agonizing-Pain Rapist here. It ain't nobody else's business. Two: you leave town tonight, right now. And when you're gone, you stay gone, or you be gone. You lost all your L.A. privileges. Deal?

    Also, enjoy Arby's.

    This Range Rover ad where the beautiful blonde dressed like she's going to Nordstrom's on a chilly day is stranded at a river with her sled dogs. The young hedge fund manager just happens to be tooling by in the frozen wasteland and drives her across the river.

    I find it jarring that they try to push the beautiful people buttons in that setting.

    This one became a family discussion (yeah, stupid). My wife asks now many dogs there are. Most of the time I don't give commercials more than a glance. One time I stopped it, rewound and slo-mo-ed it. Kinda hard to tell but I think there are 5. So five dogs in the truck. We decided on that. Then the other night I looked at it again and wondered where the effing sled is. He's not towing it, not on the roof. Where the hell is the sled? My wife gets pissed off that she never noticed that aspect before. My response was that for all this guy did to help, he deserved a helluva lot more than a smile from her.

    Deserved at least a reach around.

    I assumed his receipt of a Rusty Trombone was implied.

    There are dumb commercials that are so bad, they're good. There are dumb commercials that are just dumb. Then there is the Hormel Pepperoni commercial. I wish horrible gastrointestinal distress upon whomever wrote that commercial.

    I think they saw the Captain Morgan ad and said "We can do dumber!!!"

    I'm not familiar with the Hormel ad, but I get legitimately aggravated when that Captain Morgan ad comes on. What am I missing? Or is it the entire point to just be absurd?
