This Commercial Makes Me Sad... I Don't Even Really Know Why, It Just Does...



Megan Mullally: Not Sad
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter: Not Sad
Repurposed "Turn the Beat Around": Not Sad (ehh...)
Overly Enthusiastic Dancers: Not Sad
Weak, But Strangely Transfixing Choreography: Not Sad (um...)

Putting it all together:



Sadness

Just me? Or you too?

I was so not happy for her having to do this gig for the coins. So yeah, it made me sad. She will always be Karen the diva for me.

I know Allan! I prolly would have been OK with it if the commercial didn't combine a lot of elements that don't work together!

It's probably the "Oh she's had to stoop to this " blues. And I do believe it's not butter!

bad me -

all I saw was the guy dancing . . .

and I thought he would make a HOT boyfriend!

Junior said...

LOL Ermine! You're not buying it. Something about her face while she's dancing, it's like a message to me that she knows that I know that she shouldn't be doing this!

And Dale, you're so bad. But yes, he is a wonderful dancer and is quite easy on the eyes. As I said, all the elements worked. It's when you put them all together that it didn't turn out right!

BTW, I like the product & usually buy it. The actors are doing silly things No wit or subtlety~~certes non!~~ either in the message or in the execution. The ad makes me wonder what grocery store this is. Either they or I must have strayed into the wrong grocery store. Buying groceries is a serious business, so why are these people acting so silly, I'm asking myself; & they're making no attempts to educate me as to the product's superior virtues. In a nutshell, the ad is a waste of the actors' good talent & good looks & leaves me sad (rhyming pun intended!) translate negative.
