Your Bag of Nothing for Thursday, October 17, 2024

  • Some things annoy me more than others. High on that list is when people unnecessarily “Replay-All.” I get more annoyed when others decide to follow suit.
  • There’s a trend in commercials, and it’s by different companies in different industries, that reunite the cast from certain comedies and they pretty much play a version of their old character. What’s App uses Phil and Claire from Modern Family. The Office stars Leslie David Baker (Stanley Hudson), Phyllis Smith (Phyllis Vance) and Angela Kinsey (Angela Martin) eat breakfast—Honey Nut Cheerios—together in the latest from Cheerios. Last night, I saw a new one with Steve Carrell and John Krasinski pitching Lavazza, a coffee company.
  • The secret to a great commercial is to have it not inform you about a product, but to tell you a story.
  • I watched a YouTube short recently that said in 1992, the Campbell’s soup company predicted that 25% of automobiles would have a microwave oven. Skeptical, I did my research and found three respected newspapers that reported the story. I’d link to them, but all of them are behind a paywall.
  • I don’t like what this woman is trying to force this postal worker to do and filming her interaction as if he’s doing something wrong. But that’s not the reason why I’m posting this. I think the postal worker said his name is Troy Aikman. I don’t he’s trying to be funny or an imposter, and I have a feeling I just misheard what he said, even though I listened to him repeat his name five times.

  • I guess when money isn’t scarce in one’s life, you spend a lot of cash just to try to spite a person. Must be nice.
