    The one where the parents find a soccer magazine in the kid's bedroom (it's a gateway sport to.... lacrosse), and question him about it - that is fantastic.

    "It's perfectly natural to experiment with other sports..."

    The insurance ads that are always gold are the Farmers Insurance ones with J.K. Simmons. Saw the one today with the 50th Anniversary of Sesame Street. Amazing.

    I would be delighted to watch the guy from the Chevy spots and the guy from the Capital One Cafe compete in a Deathmatch.
    Only caveat is that they both have to die.

    I'm easily triggered by Christmas ads. I find the music excerpts from The Nutcracker, whether the slow dance of the fairies or the more robust Da da-da-duh duh duh equally hive enducing, no matter the product. But what absolutely turns my stomach into a pit of acid is anyone using "'tis the season". Don't know if newspapers still put out a Holiday Season style guide with a list of banned expressions like TTS or "the white stuff" but they should. I also hate companies that spend a month trying to guilt people into buying their crud for Christmas then in the days before urge us to "remember the true spirit of the holidays" or whatever.

    I don't know why I need a face-full of bulge to be sold cologne.

    I hate that the Muppets are reduced to shilling for Facebook and Farmers, but if that's the only way I can see them on my TV screen I'll take it.
    Surprised Disney Plus isn't just doing a reboot of The Muppet Show mixed in with re-runs. At least do a Christmas Special right?

    The Muppets reboot a few years ago could be horrifying. There were some high points.
