Commercials We Hate on SNY - 2016 Edition

[Guest cooby]

Now that ad would make the 'commercials we love' thread!

Or maybe they and everybody else is back at the lodge, figuring NOBODY would be stupid enough to go out in this weather, regardless of what car they had. Dad's probably hitting the bourbon again, muttering about not trusting this doofus with his little girl. And then they come back, all wet and muddy; a bunch of broken heels and one of the bridesmaids has a sprained ankle and it turns out the guy who married them isn't really a reverend at all, he just paid for it on-line. Dad's really in his cups by now, and Mom is in tears because all those beautiful family shots they were going to take will be ruined. Groom's stepfather comes over to say, "Hey, we'll all be laughing about this in thirty years!", and Dad delivers a haymaker that sends Stepdad over the mahogany bar into the Cutty Sark, screaming "You and that goddamn Land Rover- it's all your fault, you bastard!!!!!"

Damn - that would make the rest of the commercial worth it!

Getting back to plastic, my guess is that these are public service
ads and not paid advertising? Do the Mets/SNY have trouble selling
ad space? They're NL Champs! In New York!

maybe they signed a three year contract?

I mean, it's probably no surprise that so many Citi ads changed this year. Pepsi, Party City, Caesar's.. added the Budweiser landing, because Budweiser is always glad to throw more money at teams in exchange for banishing craft beer.

Pirates play Atari/Pacman in clubhouse, get busted by manager.

Ask your doctor if you're healthy enough for Mets.

They're actually very good at buying out craft breweries like:

10 Barrel
Blue Point
Breckenridge
Devils Backbone
Elysian Brewing
Four Peaks
Golden Road
Goose Island
Kona Brewing
Redhook Brewery
Shock Top
Widmer Brewing

Many of which are sold at Citi. So they get you either way.

they don't actually own Kona/Redhook/Widmer, those are part of the Craft Brewers Alliance (BEER in stock terms, which I own) which Budweiser does own part of. That's somewhat confusing business stuff, but worth a distinction I think. But part of that ownership means getting linked into the distribution network. There's a much longer answer there, but I won't get into it.

But yeah, they get you either way. That's their game. It's a problem. There's benefits to being able to get Goose Island's Sofie and Lolita at roughly every major league park, etc, but there are a lot of local beers that would be better that just don't get the opportunity. I mean, Singlecut in Queens is one of the best breweries in the city and not avail at Citi.

I was intrigued and looked up BEER, it's the ticker symbol for "Tsingyuan Brewery Ltd.,
formerly Sabre Industrial, Inc. is a manufacturer and distributor of brewer's malt and
beer throughout northern and eastern China."

Despite a Viagara single-pak in his carry-on and come-hither looks from his traveling companion, man waits until he gets to the B&B to get it on.

You know, I would totally invest in Brian Company.
