My 19 year old observed that if she knew who Hamlin was, she probably knew they weren't PJs.Tom Servo said:HEY HAMLIN!! NICE PJS!!

I have a philosophy that the mother of the obnoxious girl has had a passionate affair with Joey Logano and hates Hamlin with the heat of a 1,00 suns.
She put him up to it.
Or the CIA.

i understand the culture we are in today but, 99% of all commercials appear to have mixed race marriages i think.

Agreed. I also noticed that while there are one or two commonly occurring interracial marriage combinations in this country, those are almost never depicted, which I also find interesting (no, I'm not going to name those combinations).

What's the deal with the latest AT&T commercial where the hot chick stands in the background while a different employee talks to the customer? Is AT&T setting up a transition to a new spokesperson? Or is this some kind of throwback to the days of racial segregation?

My bigger problems with that commercial are a) how much information the customer gets from the guy he called in litterally one second on the phone with him and b) the ATT girl's line about word of mouth advertising. So out of place and pace for these commercials.Sea Duck said:

Aaron Rodgers has made eleventy ginjillion dollars and he needs a discount on his insurance rates? And when he doesn't get one, he has to treat some poor agent like dirt?
At least it was the role Rodgers was born to play.

We've been watching Lost with the kids on Amazon...and have been getting ProCaps Labs ads for various vitamins pretty consistently when they break to "you should've paid more for the full subscription" commercial breaks.
I'm in a hate/love thing with these. The guy hawking them...ok- it's 4am, on the 3rd day of a suicidal bender, and this guy desperately needs a bump. Eyes are glazed, sweaty, on the verge of tears...and since there was nobody around to blow for a fix, he's somehow trying to sell vitamins for your hair, nails and skin instead.

I have the same thought every time I watch this commercial - "this is exactly how dooshbaggy I think Aaron Rodgers must be in real life."Andy Dufresne said:

It seems to have gotten even worse since I originally posted. Look, I just want to listen to a random Huey Lewis and The News playlist without this joker talking about his abs and Hugh Jackman every 2 minutes. Is that so much to ask?

I think they deliberately flood us with the most obnoxious ads as a ploy to get us to spring for Premium.
Gr00vus
Footballguy
No question. They have their own youtube adds doing explicitly that - the one with the baby crying then saying you wouldn't have to hear this if you pay for Premium is the worst.

what is the deal with this guinness commercial and joe montana? people in a bar watching, what i believe is the 1979 cotton bowl with joe montana. everyone saying wait for it........wait for what, results of a game from 40 years ago that seems quite obscure now? i just don't get this.

I consider myself on the "socially liberal" side (don't want to get too political though...), but...... is it me or is there an inordinate amount of "mixed race" couples on commercials right now? I mean, what percentage of couples in the US are of mixed race? I get they are trying to "get with the times" but it seems forced. Shrug.

Maybe there aren't as many mixed-race couples because everyone grew up not seeing any in commercials.

Perhaps. I doubt it, but certainly appreciate the alternative thinking.
And to expand... it's mostly car commercials. Maybe it's just the channel(s) I watch and when I watch. Just an observation.

Was just coming here to post about GrubHub. I assume you're talking about the same one I hate... the one with the incredibly annoying flute music? It's terrible. Terrible.I'm sure it's been covered here but the grub hub song where it sounds like the backup singers are saying s*ckit s*ckit *s*ckit over and over

Hmm, now I'll need to go and listen for that and it'll likely make it even more annoying.

I'm in mixed race marriage, but I notice these in commercials too. I think rather than trying to be representative of society, it might just be to cover a wider spectrum of audiences. If you have a black wife, white husband, asianed son, mexican daughter, it's more likely to resonate with more viewers? I dunno, just a guess.
nirad3
Footballguy
Oh I'm sure that's the reason.... I just notice it's out there WAY more than it has been, even 1-2 years ago.
And I would consider myself in a mixed-race marriage too... wife is Cajun
Also - probably poor form posting this in the "least favorite commercials" thread... I have no problem with them; again, just an observation.

"Where's the pizza?"
Sweetie, if your parents didn't feed you before dropping you off for me to do the babysitting I didn't know about...you're going hungry.

every car commercial where the couple hops in their ATV/SUV and off roads to a hidden spot to hike and camp. just seeing 100% of these people hiking and camping somehow irks me.
