I love my TiVo.  Not only for the ability to record a show and watch it whenever, but the ability to rewind and watch good commercials like this one:

(I love the ending “I’ll be here all week… I will.. that’s my schedule!”)

If TiVo existed in the 1980s these are probably ones I would re-watch over and over….

First:  SIZZLEAN! This commercial features my friend Ginny.

Fast-talking John Moschitta’s Federal Express spot… when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight…

Where’s the beef?

Raise your hand!!

And finally… Coke is IT!

Those are some of mine…. yours?

…. now Hagerstown wins the dubious honor of being the fattest city in Maryland.

Maybe someone can make a calendar showing off the thinnest people in Hagerstown and a media outlet can do a pointless, poorly thought-out, off-target promotion to give away a free weight-loss program to one winner.

I’ve been watching the early seasons of this show and I have a couple of observations…

1) CTU is pretty inept. They are seemingly incapable of seeing obvious impending attacks. If there’s such an agency in the US (and I’m sure there is…) I pray they are not as inept as these asshats.  The current season is Day 8 and while things are a bit better, they still miss REALLY obvious stuff.

2) Kim Bauer should really just be locked up somewhere, for her own safety.  How many times is this woman going to get abducted by various bad people, or held hostage by crazy people, or just generally causing disarray for herself and her father? I really just want to slap her for these stupid decisions she makes.

3) Jack Bauer is brilliantly portrayed by Kiefer Sutherland, but he’s a bit of an inept twat much of the time.  He seems to be 97% FAIL, 2.999% TORTURE and .001% WIN.  That said… last season he tasered a phone, and that was pretty cool.

4) It’s strange to see Dennis Haysbert not selling insurance.

Call the Nestle Crunch Hotline 1-800-295-0051. When you are asked if you want to continue in English or Spanish, just wait quietly for about 5 seconds and you will smile. Keep going and press 4 listen to the options…then press 7.  When you are done laughing, go back and try some of the other items from the menu…

Have a great night, my friends!

… have a question…

What should I call it?

I typically use names of brands of soda, specifically grape sodas (shocking, I know!)… in it’s life as a sad, pathetic VISTA powered machine, it was called FAYGO… (Goes with my Mac MINI named “Nehi” and my Macbook named “Fanta” and the Powerbook named “Shasta”…)

Suggestions?  You can comment below, or via Twitter, if you want.

I’m watching “Countdown” on MSNBC right now and a Cialis commercial just came on… why, if the point of the product is to assist in a certain… deficency in the bedroom… would all of these commercials end in an increasingly weird scene where the “couple” is shown in SEPERATE bathtubs in some outdoor setting?  The one that just aired… apparently a new one, to me at least, ends with the couple, in their seperate bathtubs, holding hands… as expected…. but this time the tubs are on a platform, with a ramp, AT THE M-Fing BEACH!!! WHAT THE EVERLOVING HELL?

that is all

PS:  I would have included a video clip, but apparently the Cialis spammers have overhwelmed YouTube’s filters because all of them are BS.

Rich Fields screws up his copy…

Something new is coming here…. posting by twitter, iphone and web… should be fun.  Thanks for visiting this initial post, please say hi in the comments!

This week is going to DRAG!  First full week back at work for most of us!  

Ok, Now I’m the first to admit… I’m in no way what you’d call “fashion forward.” Heck, you can look at my wonderful picture over there to the right and tell that! It used to bother me, but I’ve come to terms with it and I own it with pride…. so I won’t claim to understand fashion, but this… is just about the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen: 

If for some reason you’re interested in owning such a high tech piece of fashion… well, I’m sorry.    Can you explain why anyone would want this thing?  It’s… AWFUL!  I’d love to hear what you think…

It’s no secret that I’m a bit of an old TV/ pop-culture junkie, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to find this list of great, really classic TV commercials and promos from the 80s!  Click here for more from MentalFloss Blog!
