Most of this shit has to be regional, because I see only bullshit Sonic and AT&T commercials

Speaking of regional, that McDonalds coffee ad with the "actors" doing bad "New England" accents seems to air once every goddamn ad break on every channel around here (especially during Red Sox games). I think there's even a radio version.

What I love about these truck ads is that they're basically catering to a demographic that no longer exists: white people with industrial jobs. We don't have any jobs like that here anymore. The past 60 election cycles have been centered on that fact. You may as well try to sell trucks to the fucking Tooth Fairy. God forbid Chevy ever overtly advertise to Jorge, the El Paso subcontractor who has actual use for a pickup truck. No no, they wouldn't want to enrage the hard-workin' 'MERICA poseurs who drive their pickup truck to and from their jobs bussing tables at Denny's.

Deadspin wins again.

The "Pivotrim" is a weed wacker that guarantees the line will never break - yet it comes with 20 extra strings....

I can't think of any specific examples, but I have noticed that a lot lately. "It's the only widget you'll ever need. But if you call now, we'll send two!"

These McDonalds ads with Flacco and Kaepernick are kinda terrible because Flacco's delivery of his lines is really fucking weird to me.

I also don't get the point of competing for something that's already yours.

And it's not like they both can't afford to buy everything on the menu several times over.

Maybe the most manipulative thing I've ever seen.

The only other one which even came close? There was a commercial in the early aughts for GM and OnStar. A parade of kids saying "Would you drive a car without OnStar? What if somethng happened? You don't want me to be set at ease?" Holy cow, was it shameless.

YES, thank you. Bothered me for years, going back to the Bird-Jordan version. Not to mention the fact they just did the same concept with LeBron and Dwight Howard a few years ago.
