SPEEDY!! long time no see!

So so many memorable characters and slogans that you all can recall. Some pretty dumb like the Ajax white knight or Mr. Clean. Others folksy and almost primitive like Geritol.
Anacin, Exedrin, Brylcream, Maxwell House coffee..whether you used the products or not, you knew of them.

Now so many are just hateful trash. I don’t watch much broadcast TV anymore but when I do, the commercials are disgusting and jarring. The superbowl ones were just awful.

I can’t connect with any of them.

Feels almost like something is missing.

Exactly- today’s commercials though are totally forgettable- large grossly overweight women, usually black- prancing around in underwear, shaking all over like they have a psychotic nervous condition or something-

Another tend im seeing is businesses hiring the ugliest people they can find- intentionally- perhaps thinking that it will make their product more remembered- it does not- i turn the channel till the commercial is over-
