Annoying Commercials 2: Searching for the MUTE button

During the Mets game tonight an ad ran for Citi which tried to associate them with Black Wall Street.

If there's a god or karma every executive of every financial services company will awake tomorrow with boils on their gonads. The fucking gall. That's like the FBI celebrating MLK.

Was thinking the same thing but for Jon Hamm in the Progressive commercials with Flo.

After some attempts at the big screen in the last 10 years, I think Hamm kinda knows he's destined to be a character actor. If you need a handsome cop, businessman, side piece, or fiance for your story, he's one of many you would consider. In-between filming, he's never shied away from doing ads to fill the paycheck gaps (Mercedes, STL Blues, American Airlines, etc.).
 
Hamm is a perfect typecast TV actor. Just like the dude who played Roger.

I would watch anything that had them in it just eating scenery as those two types. They are perfect Trapped Corporate Climbers like Tony Randal and Jack Lemon in all those "how to get ahead in business" movies. And they are absolutely clothes horses; I would kill to look like either.
 
BTW I have never understood the term "character actor." Or maybe it is used inconsistently. I always thought it meant a guy who is so versatile he can "disappear into the character," like John Carroll Lynch. But I see it used as a guy who always portrays the same type, like Walter Brennan.
 
But Jon Hamm realizes he's being goofy in the Progressive commercials, and based on other non-Mad-Men roles he seems more than OK with that. I'm pretty sure Sharon Stone still thinks it's 30 years ago and she's going some sort of great service for Lenscrafters.
 
Huh, I had no idea this thread existed. Okay, so, does anyone else watch Disney +? Their advertising is 95% “subscribe to Disney +” type ads, but one ad in particular drives me insane.
Two dudes are sitting on a couch, and one asks the other “What are you watching?” The dude responds with something along the lines of “Discovery Plus, with over 60,000 channels with all my favorite streaming options”, and the question poser responds “That’s very specific.” That’s specific? The f-ck it is.

We really like Disney+. Mostly because of the franchises. Cost is reasonable and the content is laid out well. Good uptime, high quality streams.

Discovery+ no. Fuck no.

What - you're not captivated by MILF Manor, The Playboy Murders, RuPaul x 12, Sister Wives...
 
It's funny y'all mentioned Sister Wives, because that's the only show my wife and I watch that makes me endure the awful commercials. As I type this, my wife has informed me that we don't even have Discovery +; YouTube TV has every Sister Wives season, so when we watch it on YouTube TV, it shows the Discovery + commercials. Small comfort, I suppose.

You've never heard of Sister Wives? I don't believe that. It's infamous, although I've never seen it and wouldn't have known it was on Disc+.

It is on TLC, which is part of Discovery. There's likely only going to be one more season, the 18th. Kody Brown has went from four wives to one, lol.
 
Mormon Girls on Redtube already has everything Sister Wives could possibly offer, without the fluff.

I'm sure my wife will be watching this by the end of the day today.

Edit: Geezus, is that porn? Well, maybe she'll still be watching it by the end of the day today. I'll get back to you.
