    The Galaxy 6 commercial that touts the sun glare reduction during a youth soccer game isn't bad, but can I ask one thing? In a U8 soccer game, what the fuck happened that the ref awarded a PK? I originally wondered why you'd get so excited for a penalty kick in a kid's game because it's a sure thing, but parents are allowed. Then I started thinking about why the girl is kicking a penalty and my eyes went cross.

    I thought some of the BWW commercials with the Lombardi clone were OK, but they have apparently decided to downgrade him -- instead of a feature player in their latest spots, he just shouts some kind of intro for 10 seconds or so, then disappears.

    I think the new Android commercial with "party hard" playing is fun.
    I'm a sucker for little kids dancing and old people dancing.

    The 'coach' appears to have elements of John Wooden, too.

    I think Sonic is offering us all a very important PSA: Eating at Sonic will severely lower your IQ

    Even though Judy Greer is one of them and I dig Judy Greer, that ad is getting overplayed

    Fucking lazy-ass society can't remember to move without a device? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!?

    What's next? Breathing? Pooping? Wanking?

    And don't get me started on the hipster tattoo "artist". That ass clown needs a shot in the gonads like no one's business.

    I'm not sure I want car buying advice from Nick Miller.

    I won't say it gets on my nerves, but I find it interesting that Ford is using Jason Alexander for voice-overs on their dealer-service commercials. He's done plenty of other things, but I still can't hear his voice without thinking "Costanza!!" And I probably don't want my customers linking my product of service to such an obnoxious character.

    I think that's Steve Nash.

    Whenever I see that I think, just watch your daughter kick the ball, don't lose the moment trying to capture it on you effing phone.

    They are the same people who make you watch home movies of their trip to the Grand Canyon and spend a disturbingly large amount of time videoing themselves on the road to the Grand Canyon.
