Resolving Situational Conflicts

It frustrates me to see ads where situational conflicts are seemingly resolved by new technology. There is an ad for ATT "Uverse" which allows you to record four (!) shows at once. The family in the ad is freaking out because dad wants to watch the game and other shows are already recording.(side note - all the people playing the family are awesome. esp. the girl. her eyes! eeeee!)
Anyway - the ad ends with the family all pointing remotes at each other wildwest shootout stalemate style with the voiceover saying - "relax guys, with att uverse you can now record up to four shows at once."

that's all well and good mr. voiceover, but what about this family? how is their situation resolved?!? Does dad get to watch the game? What about Billy's show? Do they just stand there pointing remotes at each other until the cable guy shows up between 10am and 4pm three thursdays from today? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!? whatever happens - I know one thing..whatever the hell that pony show is..anytime I come across it I am NOT changing the channel.

Douche-ability

Not only do these jackasses invent a word (although they do admit to it - in fact that is the point of the ad) but they also invent a total dbag protagonist to explain it.
This guy has this amazing super-power - he can draw on thin air - making him 10 times better than Mr. Proffesional Mullet McDoucheBag from the UPS ads who only has the ability to make white board drawings come to life. So this guy has this superpower and what does he use it for? To define drinkability? To draw bunny ears on his friends as they hit on cute girls? what a douchebag.

don't be sting-aaay

look I'm the first to say that mcdonald's is kinda gross. It's not like I'm a fast-food burger snob and I prefer whopper's or anything like that. I think they're all kinda gross. except for the #8 meal at wendy's. mmmm spicy chicken.
anyway - I love this new ad. only because I feel it really captures the essence of most r&b songs. and mostly, mostly, because of the very last line. it slays me, every time.
great pay-off.

we interrupt our regular programming for a cartoon mashup that I promise you is hilarious if you are from chicago.

Hey! New rule!
You can't invent something and then immediately:
1) dub it "Famous" - as in "Subway's 'Famous' Five-Dollar Footlong". Six months ago we didn't even know such a thing existed, because it didn't. I don't care how catchy your stupid jingle is.
2) up the ante on said made up word/event - as in "Toyotathon of Toyotathons"... what?!? No!

I was there when...

This ad is great for so many reasons.
1) Lebron plays great defense on the court. Defense. Court. He's a Defense Attorney in court. love it.
2) Damn, that man looks good in a suit.
3) He shoots the crumpled paper into the trash can. swish.
4) The flawless transition from lawyer-speak to "dude's fakin' it".
5) The random ramblings at the end "VitaminsElectorlytesNosodium" reminds of Powerthirst. raaawr!

love. it. all.
