Shoe by Gary Brookins and Susie MacNelly for August 14, 2023

I know what channel you’re watching…..

He left out Alan Jackson Gospel and his misplaced apostrophes.

I wish that mypillow dude would go away, I bought 2 from him, ended up pay $0.00 and that is what they were worth

All I see on local stations in Seattle are accident attorneys.

….and what a wonderful thing that would be. Heck, I might even pay for that.

What did the musician say on commercial break?

Stay tuned

If the Super Bowl went into overtime, does that mean the first 4 quarters were just a really long commercial since the game was Tide?

I really hope Tide had another commercial ready just in case.

I cant stand perfume commercials

They don’t make any scents

SO, SO TRUE !!!

Most of the TV commercials I see are for personal injury lawyers.

Most of what we see are drug commercials, which always just show visuals of people enjoying life. (Not showing them suffering from the various side effects.)

In my area, we’re also inundated with Progressive Insurance ads. The national evening news shows are filled with ads for psoriasis and diabetes medicine.

What’s Balance of Nature? I’ve never seen their TV ad.

you only pay for what you need

Don’t forget the ones where there’s a class action lawsuits (roundup, Camp Lejune, etc.) where you “deserve” what’s coming to you.

Apparently only old people watch the programs that I watch, all the commercials are for some kind of drug

For Albuquerque, add the frequent accident-injury law firm ads around the TV news programs.

Shoe is forgetting about all the “Ask your doctor if new Triandie® is right for you” commercials, and lets not mention all the “If you once breathed oxygen and came down with a cough, you may be entitled to a cash reward, contact Swiper, Crook and Swindle now” commercials…

Add to that: attorneys

Ozempic…

Add Prevagen commercials to that short list…

And now Mike Huckabee is pushing drugs in ads. I guess he justifies it by the knowledge that they’re not real.

The commercials in our area are mostly ambulance chasers, with more every day.

You forgot thr lawyer commercials

Got a mypillow.. lasted less than five minutes. Horrid thing. Chopped up memoury foam does not make a comfy pillow at any price esp at the price HE thinks they are worth. No wonder he has two for one sales..can’t give that ….stuff… away.

Really?

I don’t see any commercials on television.

That is because I don’t watch television. ☺

Hint Hint.

What I want to know is…When does emu season start? And is there a bag limit? Asking for a friend.

Don’t worry. People with itchy skin will take up the slack.

Seems reasonable, does it not, that the Mypillow guy is anti-woke.

Seems that every time I turn on the TV lately, there’s an lengthy ad soliciting money for Shriners Hospital or St. Jude’s. Where do they get the money to pay for those ads? If they didn’t spend the money for the ads, they’d have enough to fund all their work.

I vote for no more commercials.

The commercials I despise are the drug commercials. Ugh…enough already!

How about all the commercials for the ‘ambulance chasers’ – also known as injury attorneys – 5-6 in a row – including some repeats?

Yes, We would only have the absurdity of fifty different prescription pharmaceutical ads – costly, never ending ads for something we can’t actually buy. Only two countries are dumb enough to allow them.

move to Florida and get non stop lawyer ads

Shoe hasn’t been paying attention. Another MAJOR category is ads for drugs that people can’t even buy without pressuring a physician to write a prescription.

I don’t know, Morgan and Morgan beats them all!

TV?, TV? Wahs dat…

Can’t leave out “Brought to you by Pfizer.”

The Liberty jingle drives me nuts. I turn the sound off.

Don’t forget the Lume Deodorant commercials. Please stop!

I don’t believe that. I have them and they’re great on the neck.

I wish there were only three. Fat lady singing about Jardiance is the worst. Pills pills pills. How many people actually take those drugs because of all the ads?

Lawyers, auto dealers, replacement windows, heating & A/C, I want to buy your house, …….the list is endless!

Who is crazy enough to pay $100 for a bag of cotton balls? Seriously, that’s all they are. The price has come down as they run out of suckers and they may have changed to foam to allow that. Still, nothing special.

You forgot all the adds for pharmaceuticals whose list of side effects requires half the commercial to recite at 17 trillion words a minute.
