Brevity is the Something Something: One Sentence SNY Commercial Summaries, 2020

[Fman99]

Three weird looking Asian gals love their FIOS.

[kcmets]

They're adorable, and good actors.



Hopefully karsforkids never goes TV.

[Fman99]

Super needy annoying people put car salesman through a gauntlet on the phone.

[LWFS]

Even though wifey ain't feeling it, bearded home chef is fuckin' GROOVING on his Shop-Rite pasta ingredients

[Fman99]

[Napoleon Dynamite]Get your own Taltz![/Napoleon]

[Edgy MD]

No, Robert Mugabe didn't make our wine.

Thank you! The opening line of that commercial startles me every time!

[Fman99]

Annoying shitass drinks too much coffee.

It still sounds like that. I can't unhear it.

[Frayed Knot]

I know this isn't quite in keeping with the mocking spirit of this thread, but I find the whole idea of the game being sponsored by (among others) OLD DOMINION FREIGHT LINES to be kind of odd.

I mean, I know the theory behind this type of stuff is to introduce and familiarize the company's name with a wider audience with some vague hope that it'll pay off down the road ... but are the

watchers and listeners (there are both between inning commercials and on-field signage) really saying to themselves; 'Y'know, I was just looking for a freight line so I could move a buncha stuff

across country so maybe I should give these guys a call'?



This one, plus those DOOSAN ads from the post-season over the past two years (Doosan is a South Korean heavy equipment manufacturer) seem to be an odd fit with sports. Whatever the motive,

this kind of sponsorship certainly shows how far in the rear-view those days are when sports ads were strictly the province of male consumer product staples: beer, cigarettes, gasoline, and razor blades.

Don't forget lawn equipment.

[kcmets]

Lowe's, safe way before and always was safe, before safety became a thing.



I'd love to sit in on these message choice brainstorming sessions for these big

name ads. Gotta be a bunch of assholes swilling vodka-a-plenty.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I was thinking the same thing about Old Dominion. And I was also thinking that I have no idea what SPDRS or Blue-Emu are.

[Edgy MD]

Blue Emu: Johnny F. Bench endorsing a pain relief cream made up in part of oil extracted from emus.

[Lefty Specialist]

(And Doug.)

Which doesn't work



Btw I miss the male oriented ads.

My thought about the purpose of those "not for your average consumer" type ads is to target investors to boost name recognition for their stocks.

Later

[Benjamin Grimm]

The pretty girl in the pink dress says, "I'm your daydream!" I think, yeah, you are! But then I find out that she's the daydream of her own doppelganger. And everyone else in the commercial also has a daydream that looks just like themselves.



I'll tell you this: My daydream doesn't look exactly like me.

[Frayed Knot]

Some of those folks in that 'Daydream' commercial are famous folks.

Actor Liev Schreiber plays one of the 'pairs' and I think at least one/two other is/are a basketball player.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Gwen is a small business owner who knows that no two dogs are alike.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

From our radio friends: Howie FUCKING LOVES A CUP OF TEA

[Lefty Specialist]

Stop buying balls for the dog, dummy- he doesn't care!

[Edgy MD]

No two people are the same, and that's why we customize your car insurance AND your cancer treatments!

[Fman99]

Recognizable actor shamefully reduced to stupid insurance slogan by slack jawed coffee shop gawkers.

[Fman99]

John Stamos is still smashing puss, in between knitting projects.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I find it hard to believe that a deer would be an authority on the insurance needs of small businesses.

[Benjamin Grimm]

So, IS that Michael Conforto's grandmother?

[kcmets]

Fire drill, meet at tree stump - celebrate and then realize they forgot mom, the

dog, cat and to make practice call to 911.

[Edgy MD]

MLB.tv has two sponsors — one wants me to buy insurance from an emu, and another wants me to use emu extract to relieve my aches and pains.

my mlb.tv wants to show me (about 30 times per game each):

1) the annoying stadium beer salesman roaming the neighborhood selling bud light;

2) annoying little caesar commercial with the long haired freak, who's saxophone converts to a cellphone;
