Lincoln Concierge Commercials- Because there's no such thing as Too Much Hate
If it were my ambition to be a self-satisfied, entitled douchenozzle, I guess that would include someday actually "booking" a test drive from my luxury apartment or multimillion-dollar suburban palace while my model spouse lounged about wondering what pricey bauble SHE would be picking out- with the help of a concierge (HULK SMASH!) of course.
Hey, buddy in the second commercial- do I want to punch you in your stupid-ass Rich But Dammit Not Everyone Knows It Yet face? "Absolutely!"
Hey, "concierge" in the first commercial- did you ever want something more out of your life than a job which requires you to kiss the butts of these disgustingly wealthy, spoiled assmonkeys? I wouldn't be surprised if the answer is "no"- it sure looks to me like you've had a successful soul removal.
And hey, potential buyers of this flashy LookAtMeMobile- I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you have no idea that there are hungry people dependent on soup kitchens for their one meal a day, probably in your own city (though certainly not anywhere near your own Cul-de-Sac.) There are schools FAIRLY close to where you live in need of extra supplies. If you aren't in to the whole "Think Locally" thing, there are lots of suffering people (3 billion or so, give or take a hundred million) who need the cash burning a hole in your pocket a HELL of a lot more than your local Lincoln dealer. Oh, but using your money to make life a little more bearable for a total stranger won't make people turn their heads while you slowly drive past, so I guess that wouldn't appeal to you loathsome choads, would it?
The Age of Guillotines can't return fast enough for me.

On the other hand, I've heard that He's not that thrilled with It's Just Lunch
Anyone else have a hard time believing that Lindsay was unable to meet guys without the use of a dating website?
Anyone else agree with Justin's take that "without Christian Mingle, I don't see how we ever would have met?" Because yeah, Justin- Lindsay could have done a lot better.
Then again, if you start from the premise that your god 2000 years ago sent himself to be sacrificed (to himself) to erase a situation he created (governed by rules he created) which he knew would be created (being all-knowing and all,) you probably have no problem believing that same god was just waiting for someone to invent the internet, and then invent websites, and then invent Christian Mingle, so he'd have a way of bringing two medieval-minded idiots who want to have sanctioned sex which leads to Blessed Little MiraclesTM who grow up to be just as vapid and backward as you are. Congratulations- while it's true that a fool and his money are soon parted, it seems that it's easier than ever for a fool to find another fool to produce even more fools with.

Dunkin Donuts wants to kill it's customers slowly and deliciously.
My favorite part of this DD ad is the comparison of this hybrid doughnut/sandwich/burger monstrosity to DD's "healthy" turkey sausage and chicken salad offerings. Anyone who thought that they were eating "healthy" by consuming ANYTHING produced at Dunkin Donuts was being naive, or living the dream, in the first place.
It's also becoming pretty clear that DD is not going to let KFC get too far ahead in the Outrageous Food That Will Kill You Before You Get Back To the Parking Lot marketplace. Bacon and cheese held together by slices of fried chicken? Well, we gotta admit, that's tough to top- hey, how about eggs, sausage and cheese between glazed doughnuts?
Whichever you choose, I really think that these places ought to at least keep ambulances standing by. Seriously, though, I am 100 percent in favor of massive taxes on any food item which fits in one wrapper yet manages to contain at least three of the following- cheese, fried chicken, eggs, bacon, ground beef and doughnuts. Heck, big surcharges on salt and frying medium could increase the lifespan of the average American by ten years (and decrease the waistband of the average American by three inches.)
Meanwhile, I invite you to enjoy an episode of Art Imitates Life, courtesy of the Simpsons, circa 1990. Matt Groening is an absolute prophet, wouldn't you say?

The latest in Do It Yourself Diagnosis
Doctors, Shmoctors. It's 2013, who needs 'em?
After all, we've had more than a decade of big pharma commercials successfully convincing us that every ache and pain COULD be the sign of a More Serious Condition, so we should "ask" our doctor about this or that very expensive medication with six pages of possible horrible side effects. (By "ask," of course, the ads really mean "demand that your doctor prescribes this if he doesn't want to face a lawsuit or the loss of a gullible customer.")
We've skipped the obvious next step- in-home blood tests- and gone straight to DNA mapping through the mail. And what do these DNA tests tell you? Well, if you listen to the spokeschoads, nothing less than Who You Are. "This is Me" the chirpy idiot tells us. Um, ok. Now what?
"So THAT'S why I sneeze" another severely damaged, bored human being with $99 burning a hole in his pocket adds. Same question to this guy- Ok, now what? Now that you've paid some bullshit company a chunk of money to give you a lot of really pointless, non-helpful information, what exactly are you going to do with it?
"This is not a substitute for professional medical advice." Ah, so that's the answer. You are going to take this "information" and-- go to a doctor. A doctor who, if he is worth the diploma on the wall, is going to set aside your pages of "test results" and take some of your blood and urine and check it out himself, making your idiot episode with "23 and Me" a waste of money AND time. Congratulations.
Seriously, what is the matter with you morons? Ran out of leaves to click on Ancestory.Com, got tired of being reminded that nobody is looking for you BeenVerified.com? Simply can't bring yourself to give just a little bit of that money you clearly don't need to charity? Because this has GOT to be the very height of self-absorption, don't you think?

Questions I'd like to Ask Jan
Dear Toyota Lunatic,
What the hell are you on?
Did you ever want more than this? I mean, you act like you've achieved the dream of a lifetime, sitting behind a desk at a Toyota dealership waiting to respond with a chirpy "Hi I'm Jan" to every idiot who walks in the door? When you were voted Miss Congeniality in High School, did they tell you that this was the kind of career you had waiting for you- spokeschoad for a stupid car company in a bunch of stupid commercials in an ad campaign which will not be missed for one moment when it ends?
If you are such a great people person, why aren't you actually selling cars instead of basically performing the same job as an elderly Wal Mart greeter? Why are you the person the Guys come to when they are looking for a fork? (What kind of bs sexist crap is that, anyway? Is it because you are the "Girl" working at this Toyota Dealership, and finding utensils for the Guys is just what Girls do?)
Come to think of it, why aren't you putting your awesomely bubbly people skills to work negotiating hostage situations or talking depressed citizens off of ledges?
Do they ever let you stand up? And if they do, are you wearing pants?
PS- "See more of Jan?" Um, pass.

A Murder-Suicide would come as a welcome relief to this...err..."family"
1. What is more horrible here- that everyone in this commercial acts like a brain-dead zombie as they mock Dad's obsessive bragging about getting a "great deal" on a Volkswagen RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM, or
2. That Teenaged daughter can't even look up from her texting long enough to look the guy who provides her with everything she has (including that f--ing phone) in the eyes as she re-invents the term "no respect?" or
3. That Son does her one better with his "good one, dad," or
4. Dad seems totally clueless to the fact that he's bored his family into a coma and that they are apparently ten seconds away from spontaneously turning on him with their steak knives, if only they can work up the energy?
Oh, and BTW- what the hell is that kid's name? Dolf? Dalt?

Never mind a new phone; what this guy really needs is a better grade of friends
Or maybe just a hammer to smash the smarmy dick he's sitting with in the face.
I really don't know why the narrator for this steaming pile of cow dung doesn't just use the pitch line "just upgrade your phone every time you meet someone with a slightly better one, because you are a pathetic, spineless, soulless moron whose entire self-worth depends on how someone with a Please Punch Me beard views your phone."
I also don't know why any actual adult would fall for this crap. I wish the Crestfallen-for-No-Reason loser who stars in all these "Upgrade every five minutes just because" ads would just reply "my phone works fine, and only a severely damaged douchenozzle or an eight-year old boy would feel threatened by someone with an allegedly 'better' phone." Or, if he wanted to be extra snarky, he could go with "does having a phone two months younger than mine really compensate for the fact that you have no hair?"
Actually, I wish he would just pick up a chair and brain him with it. Because there's never a hammer available when you really need one, is there?
