Cutwater Spirits -- amusing ad, even if I doubt I'll remember who they are.

interesting ad for Google Pixel 6. I wouldn't have known that's an issue for people of color (assuming that the ad's claim is correct).
Black horses, black dogs,black people all have a difficult time being lite correctly
Sensors have a right time focusing and setting exposure

Known gambling addict Ben Affleck pitching a gambling app is meta.
Is meta the new linguistically lazy word of favor for your generation?

Unbeknownst to me, “meta” is apparently now a noun, verb and adjective. :rolleyes:

Larry David’s ad was pretty good but overall not a good game for ad agencies. Halftime was pretty bad, too.

I think they underrated the Sopranos EV commercial.

Conversely, the Disney "Goat" was stupid, "Cable Guy" was just as awful as the movie; I don't know who the lady is in Rakuten, but apparently she is a star....I thought it was the singer "Pink".

Full disclosure - I don't watch much TV. At least not new stuff. So, I am really excited for the re-boot of Law and Order.

At first, I thought the Chevy commercial was going to be a commercial for the new Sopranos Prequel they are doing.

Agree, can't wait for Law and Order to start up again. I used to watch it all the time.

People seem to like that Coinbase commercial. I can't seem to understand why. Ok, it's a QR code. That's clever? Now it bounces around for a full minute; why? I thought that we aren't supposed to use them if we don't know what they are. You don't find out what it's for until it's too late to scan it. Yeah, I'm old.
I don't know if people liked it, but it sounds like it was successful. The influx of traffic crashed the app for a few minutes. I read somewhere that their app shot up to the #2 download after the commercial. I think their target audience is probably post Gen-X, who are adept at using QR codes (my daughter had it within seconds).

The best part of the ad was that Meadow finally learned how to park.
Actually, she didn’t learn how to park. The car parks itself.

But it was definitely an inside joke if you watched the Sopranos.

Nobody else liked the Uber Eats commercial? Gwen Paltrow eating the vajayjay candle? I have to admit, I literally LOLed when I saw that.

Thanks. I worked/lived everywhere the series was shot, including Satin Dolls aka Banda Bing where my bachelor party began.
Whenever I am in Clifton or Hackensack I drive past on Rte 80 adjacent to Rte 17 and see Satin Dolls I think “Hey! It’s the Bada BIng”. The BP station nearby was one of my projects for a brief while.

I have waterbed a couple of vids comparing the original to the commercial. The best part is how they both get out,of the truck. Jamie Lyn Sigler matches Gandolfini‘s manner of getting out of the truck.
