House made of beer: Not funny. Betty White playing football: Mildly funny. I like Betty White. Doritos, anti-barking collar: Not funny, with a streak of meanness. “Robin Hood”: Not funny. But I don’t suppose it was supposed to be. I love the Robin Hood story, but I’m not sure I’m going to watch this one. Russell Crowe is on my boycott list. Rockford says, “Kinda want to see that. Kinda.” Doritos, “Keep your hands off my mama”: Not funny. Bud Light asteroid: Not funny. “NCIS” head slap: Amusing, even though I’ve ever watched the show. “Simpsons” Coke ad: I’ve always loved Mr. Burns, and his Warhol was lovely. Splendid ad. Go Daddy, Danica massage: These ads annoy me greatly. Doritos, funeral: Ridiculous. Bud Light, voice modulator thing: Made me laugh a little. That T-Pain is a hoot. Monster.com, fiddling beaver: Funnyish, I guess. “The Wolfman”: I so will not be watching that. Bridgestone, killer whale: Ha. Shape-ups from Sketchers: My mom dated a guy who carried around a prototype for a shoe he had invented that was supposed to do something like Shape-ups. I wonder if he’s the force behind these. Cars.com genius kid: Seemed to be an attempt to emulate Wes Anderson, but not very successfully.
I don’t know how much longer I’m going to keep this up. I’m pretty sure I know how much longer you’d like me to keep it up, though. Don’t worry. I’ll lose steam and interest soon.
Budweiser, bridge is out: cute concept. “Shutter Island”: continues to freak me out. Letterman, Leno and Oprah: Awesome. “Big Bang Theory” bottom-of-the-screen ad: I laughed out loud. careerbuilder.com casual Friday: Oh, man. That’s frightening. And funny. Dockers, no pants: Two pantsless ads in a row? Strange ad programming choice. This would’ve been funnier if we hadn’t just seen an underpants-humor ad. That being said, I hope to win some pants. Brett Favre, Hyundai: Pretty funny, but boy I do not like Brett Favre.
Wow, there are a lot of ads.
Bud Light “Lost” parody: Lame. Obviously, I’m not a fan or this ad campaign. Dove, “you’re a man”: Eh. Wasn’t there a guy who sang a parenting song set to that tune already? I know that was vague, but what I’m saying is: That wasn’t a terribly original idea. Charger, last stand: It’s a clever concept, but Rockford still isn’t getting a Charger. Also: Putting your underwear in the hamper really isn’t that difficult. Sheesh. Teleflora.com: Twisted. “Alice in Wonderland”: Heavens, that looks creepy. Kiss + Little Kiss, Dr. Pepper: nice. I’d heard of Little Kiss, but I didn’t know they were real. I like it. truTV groundhog day thing: Oh, that was just weird and kind of icky. HarryPotterLand: How many millions of dollars did Kid Who Played Harry Potter make for that ad? Jim Nantz, guy at the mall: That was pretty funny, but there seems to be a strong undercurrent of, “Guys! Your women are holding you back!” this year. And that, I don’t like so much. Intel, sad robot. And that’s how the robot revolution will begin. With hurt feelings.
Does Rockford want a Charger?
Well, probably not. What he’d really like is one of those wood-paneled Jeep Wagoneers from the ’80s (seriously), but no amount of picking up after himself is going to make that happen.
