Buffy ,'Same Time, Same Place'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
very irritating to see State Farm ads with Dennis Haysbert during The Unit. Messes with the show for me.
It causes a fair amount of whiplash. First he's crashing some military truck and shooting holes in it, then he's offering me insurance if I crash mine! Sheesh.
Nothing beats that Maybelline ad during The Body, though!
The State Farm ads depressed me during 24, last season. I had a really hard time letting go of President Palmer. Those ads just rubbed salt in the wound.
Scott would have a great time watching commercials with bon bon and Bob. He's such a fan, but I completely tune them out. He generally has to rewind and make me watch the good ones, because otherwise, I'm oblivious to them.
For the record, I like the caveman ads a whole lot -- though I only have to sit through them when I want to because of the magic of TiVo. But for a long time I've thought that cavemen get a raw deal in the popular imagination, because they were damn smart, just stuck in a much rougher environment than we have.
Also, weren't most of the Muppets originally created in commercials?
I totally think caveman would kick astronaut bootie.

Heh.
They should have a short scene where a caveman and an astronaut get into an elevator. They exchange looks, and then the elevator doors close. Then we cut to a shot on a different floor - the elevator doors open and we see the astronaut crumpled in the corner as the caveman casually walks out of the elevator.
Actually, aren't they Allstate ads? Good hands=allstate. Like a good neighbor=state farm.
I think you might be right, sara.
There's a great TAL piece about that, about the cast and crew of Riverdance. Check it out!
I love that story! I have it on my iPod now!
I have no opinion on the caveman commercials as I usually ff past them.
This is why I shouldn't answer my phone: I just did, and it was an interviewee who we didn't bring back for the second round. Stupid no voicemail. And by "voicemail," of course I mean "Caller ID."
