It has turned out to be a miserable week. Let me count the ways: I am coming down with a cold, my blistered heel isn’t healing so I haven’t been able to run, I haven’t seen my husband in three – count ’em – three days, work has me boggled (again), I’m not going to Ruth’s funeral, I have to see a doctor about a suspicious “lump” under my jaw, I’m lost without my music, and did I mention I haven’t seen my husband? That last one is the killer. I hate eating alone. I abhor going to bed alone. I detest watching television alone.
But, here’s the thing about watching tv ~ I’m finding the commercials highly entertaining.
I saw stealth in a Cold-Eze commercial. Swear to Pete. He definitely could have been doing the voice-over and the facial expression were dead on.
I think the astronaut, you know the one in the sleep aid commercial, I think he’s cooking up some meth. Watch him stand there and you tell me. Highly suspect.
The shark that goes “raauuggh” in the icecream commercial makes me giggle, but the deadhead rolling down the hill makes me laugh outloud.
What’s with the nuns in the Scrooge credit card commercial?
What about the woman in the allergy medication commerical who says, “that one, please!” and the street vendor holds up her chosen piece of fruit? What? Like the woman can’t pick out her own fruit?
I’m addicted to the car commercial with the guy trying to buckle his daughter (?) into her seat and she won’t stop talking. My husband and I quote her all the time with phrases like, “his little legs…”, “I don’t know what it is…” and “his head is so tiny!” At any point in time I could blurt out, “…and I don’t know what it is!” and my hero will know exactly what I’m talking about.
I like the beer commercial with the Holiday Five Pack. I’ve done that – bought things intended for someone else and ended up keeping them for myself.
“There’s that moose again.” gets stuck in my head.
Commercials make the SuperBowl a chick friendly event; only this last year’s offerings weren’t that funny, nor were they clever. I see they’re reaching out to the general public for some help writing the “best” SuperBowl commercial for this year. Good luck with that. I’d rather watch the game.
