I have a real problem with children in commercials. Well, actually, children in show business at all. Those kids are never cute...just precocious and loud and obnoxious. I haven't seen that fishsticks commercial, but I'm going to pass so I don't get all stabby so early in the day.
I do love the Jared one with the thunderstorm, though. He's going to slit her throat later in the night, and girl has no idea.

He is either the worst actor in the world or some creative mind at Kay just went off the rails with a sadistic commercial. Is this really supposed to be romantic?
Oh, it's for Kay? See, I can't even remember the brand, just the hilarity!
Plus, she's an idiot. It's a thunderstorm. You're inside. Stop being a baby.
That girl is dumber than a bag of bricks. She gets objectified for her fear of t-storms and all she does is go along with this creeper/stalker foreplay with serial killer boyfriend. Just like all those dumb b*tches in every horror movie. I yell to tell them to sashay away from that dark room. Do they listen? Nope. It's your funeral and you shall be wearing fugly jewelry from Kay, woman!

HAHAHAHAA! I thought I was the only person who thought he seemed a bit like a psycopathic killer!
Though the first time I saw the commercial, when he said that, I just thought, "Poor guy, stuck for life with a girlfriend who freaks out at THUNDERSTORMS." My brother and I love making, "He went to Jared!" jokes, though.
I hate the crossword puzzle one. And the one where the girl is texting her friends from the restaurant and the friend texts "Does he have a brother?" So dumb.
Though it's not a commercial,this did almost make me die laughing last night:

I love the Kay jewelry commercials just as much as I love the Olive Garden ones. Bad acting at it's best!
OHMIGOD OLIVE GARDEN COMMERCIALS.
"Don't worry about it, Grandpa! It's MY TREAT! Heh heh heh!" Why are you paying for his dinner, kid? Make the older, richer guy pay!
I also really like the one with the college student whose parents come to visit and take her and her roommates out to dinner. "They love it when my parents come, and they love spending time with them!" Yeah, I'm SO SURE they do.
justagirl, Greg Jbara plays the Dad of the college kid, though, so it gets points for that!

AHHHHH that one's on right now! With the grandpa.
One of my friends here once took me out to lunch when her parents came. We went to an Italian restaurant & the irony killed me the whole time.
I always think the most cringeworthy Olive Garden commercial is the one with the mom and the son spending time together. The son who says "Mmm, breadsticks," in a creepy way.
EDIT: Hahaha! I searched Olive Garden commercial on youtube, and I found this... it's a parody of the Olive Garden commercial with Jim Stanek...

Hahaha! That little kid is awesome.
I'm ashamed of how lazy I've been this weekend. I'm using the snow as an excuse, which it *kind* of is, but we haven't gotten THAT much. I've discovered Last.fm, though, which is way more fun than it really should be.
JAG, I'm still in my pajamas and it's 8:38pm....it was one of those lazy, lazy days.
I went to the gym, took a shower, went to Henry's soccer game, went to Wegman's and Target. But since then I've been home.
I woke up at 11:47 am today when I had to go to a lab with my film workshop partner to do the finishing touches on our PSA at noon. I woke up in sweatpants, an olive sweater, and a Rugrats t-shirt and I left with all of that on plus a black pea coat, gloves, and uggs. I was mad pissed we could not get my mp3 of the rap song I found to fit so we spent a good 30 minutes on my partner's iTunes to find a song. We did a song by one of our peers who put out a CD and sounds like John Mayer minus creeper lyrics. It went well with our PSA but our workshop instructors had these lofty expectations that all we do is craft short films to go on youtube and burn DVDs like it is nothing. Needless to say it took a while for us to figure out the process on top of a google search but it worked. Our PSA went without a hitch but there were some good ones by other people. Now they want to put us all up on the campus TV and possibly the college website. Did I mention I have a cameo in our PSA when I am completely unaware that I am in picture whilst saving our camera tripod from falling?
Anyway I come back and nap and then I have to jazz all up to go to dinner celebrating my mom's job promotion. I come back go to the gym after about 60 minutes of computer surfing. CNN is on with the Sarah Palin speech right in front of my treadmill when I enter so I have a doubly workout running and shadowboxing in front of the television when you know who is mugging my CNN.
I showered and now I am surfing while having The French Connection on TCM in the background.
So what are you guys doing on Super Bowl Sunday? Not rooting for anybody since I like both teams (Giants fan who likes Peyton b/c he's Eli's brother and just likes the Saints because of their connection to NOLA) but I am hanging at my parent's house for the party.
Sounds like you had a busy day!
As far as tomorrow, we are having another couple over for dinner (they have a 3 yr old son who bugs Henry no end). I've got beer, snacks, and stuff for southwestern soup and cornbread. That's about it.
That is a busy day!
I'm SO not a sports fan, so I'm rooting for the Saints just because I have an inexplicable crush on Scott Fujita and his weird massive oval-shaped head. Current sort-of boy has a huge man-crush on Peyton Manning, so we won't be hanging out tomorrow. I'll probably turn it on for the commercials, then mute it to rewatch Oz episodes or something. It's a sad life!
Daughtry is playing at the CBS Super Tailgate Party today. The article I read implied it WILL be broadcast and they estimated Daughtry's start time at around 3:45.
Just FYI. You know what I'll be doing at 3:45.
I will try to watch the tailgate......but I'm here for the half-time show!
My family has re-named the super bowl the snacky-bowl because we're mostly interested in getting some really good food! I am going to try to get my mom to get some wine coolers because I need a stiff drink after the week I have had!
Still trying to figure out/deal with my ongoing relationship drama.... I am getting to the point where I just want talk this out with this guy and move forward with or without him. We never *actually* talked about things... and even though I am pretty sure it's over I need to hear the words... you know what I mean?
