    They jumped the shark when someone thought it was a good idea for a series.

    One commercial figure that I used to loathe with every fiber of my being, but I'm warming to significantly is Kevin Hart.

    Not sure why I hated him so much, and not sure why I kind of like him now, but whatever.

    I think that the fans in the Eli Manning Corona ad look like Chargers fans is a cruel twist.

    I like Eli’s awkward goofiness in most of his ads. I think he’s easily more interesting than Paintin’

    I honestly think that AI has a bunch of tremendous applications. I also know that Google/Apple has been able to show none of them, in fact that make the AI as a replacement for lazy human behavior. They have yet to come up with a single commercial of it being in any way useful.

    There was the fat influencer who photoshopped his jumps to be better than reality
    There was the dad who wanted AI to produce a 'genuine' fan letter to Sydney McLaughlin, instead of his daughter actually writing it.
    There was the creepy looking woman who used AI so she could fake recall a prior meeting with some guy. Or fake reading a work email.
    There was the shitty worker who changed his terrible 'bro' work email into a useable email for his boss.
    Now there's a wife who uses AI to come up with an ad hoc gift for her husband. Another application of AI covering up laziness.

    If you watch commercials, AI is just a cover for crappy or lazy human habits.

    Boo these people. The commercials suck.

    I swear I saw one where a guy was pissed his lunch was eaten and he wrote a nastygram and AI cleaned it up. I saw it once, tried to rewind on Hulu and it changed the channel on me and haven't seen it since. Anyone know WTF I'm talking about?

    Only reason I want to see it again is for the laugh. I totally lit up the entire TV station I worked for about 20 years ago with a similar email (I even signed it, "I hope you burn in Hell!") ... I'm a very hangry person I guess. :)

    Rumor is it was either the main anchor or station manager that ate my lunch (pretty sure it was leftover Chinese)

    The dude — and I use that term loosely — in the Geico commercial who complains of a sprained finger because he’s been swiping so much. It’s already a dumb premise for that ad, and I want to beat that wimpy fucker with a hickory stick.

    Not a TV commercial, but my damn Reels is inundated with these awful ads for these games that promise to pay you real money, bingo, solitaire, billiards, crap like that. The ads are almost comically bad, including one where some down-and-out rather obese woman is sitting on a curb, with a burger on the ground next to her. Some dude in a suit walks up, steps on the burger, asks if that's all she has to eat, then asks her to clean his shoe. It's fucking unreal. And I can't turn away.

    Because my wife sends me baby-related clips a bunch - which I like - I am now also being served the adjacent relationship ones as well, which are the absolute worst staged shit ever. Every suspect challenge clip needs to be dragged to the recycle bin immediately.
