If you want to look at what they are trying to satire, it makes sense. The baby looks like someone else's baby, but dad has no reason to believe he isn't the father, until of course the baby says Tech sucks. Then it becomes undeniable. it's funny, but not if you want to think about it. I guess that would explain Mom looking away while slurping the Dr. Pepper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

irish eyes 1,246 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have to think this has been mentioned, but the Yoplait commercial where the @@@@@ voice in the background screams "she's becoming an independent Chiiiilllld".

randall146 4,437 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Pizza insurance- they give you a free pizza if they screw up your pizza. Sample screw up: online complaint that the toppings were wrong. “We’re going to expedite this next order!” Then they surprise the customer with her free insurance pizza. If it’s a surprise why’d they expedite it? They probably screwed up the first time due to moving too fast. You’d think they’d take their time and do this one right. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In the commercial it looks like a surprise visit some other night. Now customers are going to think they’ll get a surprise pizza if they complain, and be disappointed when they don’t. Seems like the ad creates false flawed pizza claims (insurance fraud) followed by angry customers. Edited October 28, 2019 by randall146 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sullie 861 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This Anora commercial is the worst because of the song. First off, I was a kid in the 70's, I always hated the original version of that awful song but my God it's even worse with the new singer, especially the guy at the end, he sounds like he's singing through his nose with a nasal infection. Honestly, it's like nails on a chalkboard at this point and naturally they play it over and over and over again. Pretty brutal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His haughtiness is an invitation for them to come back after midnight and throw some bricks through some windows. Or come back another day and sneak up out of view with black paint to cover the doorbell. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
