    His check engine light came on a month ago. He tried to pretend nothing was wrong until his wife finally saw it at which time he told her it came on the day before. So presumably at her behest, they go down to AutoZone to get the engine checked and see why the light is on. The employee at AutoZone tells them the check engine light is on because of a relatively simple problem. The husband in his delight it is simple admits the light came on a month ago at which time his wife realizes he is lazy and lied to her.

    He could have just gone to AutoZone a month ago because they would have diagnosed it easy-peasy fast just like that?

    Stupid commercial other than she's cute in a Susan Sarandon meets Michelle Pfeiffer at the crossroads of life sort of way.

    I commend those of you who have never been in a LTR where she jumps your shit over Every. Little. Thing.

    We lament the reality of 1984 yet invite Alexa into our homes.

    There will be a showdown for the ages soon: Zuckerberg v. Bezos.

    I don't know why car makers continue to insult our intelligence with how inundated with customers they are. They never have more than 20 people at one time. Large numbers of people all don't need to buy cars all at once. And no one is bum rushing the doors to get in.

    I guess since people didn't jump Volkswagen for using grandpa's ashes to hawk SUVs, Zillow has decided dead relatives are the hot new ad trend.

    Is this what happens when Goth kids have to finally get a job and enter the real world? They work at ad agencies?

    The Auto Zone guy seems to be gaining a lot of weight.

    That NCAA commercial with the female athletes displaying Attitude! and declaring they're done with commercials promoting women in sports. No you aren't. Not only did you agree to be in this one, but it ran every other inning during the baseball regionals and super regionals.

    The Bridgestone Tire commercials that advertise that they can run for 50 miles after being punctured by razor-sharp arrows. Does it really matter if the arrow is razor-sharp? I figure a dull arrow would do just as much damage.
