[@roondar6141]

Honestly it’s crazy how many commercials there are for medication, lawyers, asbestos and mesothelioma. Like Americans commercials are always portrayed as McDonald’s 90% of the time, but it’s always meds and lawyers.

[@BradenBest]

and cars. Don't forget about cars.

[@jmfindorff]

@@BradenBest Yeah, I always remember the commercials for my local Kia dealer because they were always over the top

[@SneesToMeetYou]

Depends on where you live too, for example louisiana has a shit ton of lawyer ads and billboards since they make so much money

[@GoldKnightProduction]

I've honestly never thought about our commercials before. It's like sandwiched between Chili's ads lawyers are always assuring me that something wasn't my fault. "Are you a victim of inbreeding? It's not your fault. Call us, and we'll sue your parents!"

[@dickmarx1298]

"did you stick your fork in a socket and get electrocuted? We'll sue the electrician that installed that socket.

Did you commit a crime? No? Maybe? Call this number! Did you do something wrong? You might have! You don't know! Call this fucking number! Call us! Or don't! We don't know? Fuck you! Call this number!

[@thegreenestofmachines]

"Is your inbred son suing you for being a foul human being with no moral compass and no knowledge about how genetics works? it's not your fault! give us lots of money and we'll sue someone you don't like."

I almost forgot that Stamper loves animals, so I understand why he sounded upset about those pet commercials.

[@randallbalion4464]

@James Wilkinson i laughed so hard at that one

[@bigmeknurgle]

@Gremblo He regretted it immediately. *FIX THE BIRD* He killed an animal on a whim and ever since he's fought to wrong that right by cherishing the lives of each and every helpless, disgusting creature he encountered. Rats, chipmunks, cats, mange-ridden foxes, Jeff. Truly, a friend to beasts great and small.

thanks for putting in the clip of the vet

[@BradenBest]

I was sitting in the hospital waiting room when I got the terrible news. My wife has cancer. We tried everything, medication, chemo, but she kept getting weaker. She's dead now, but my memory of her love will never fade away, and that's what gives me the strength to keep on living. LOVE. THAT'S WHAT MAKES A SUBARU A SUBARU

[@DeltaDanner]

This holiday season it’s time we take stock of all the important things in life. That’s why we are celebrating this year with Toyotathon!

[@smiggummcbiggums9275]

Hey man, I dunno if you remember making this comment, or if you'll even see this- but I just wanna say that you've perfectly encapsulated everything that makes the subaru commercials so cringe. They barely have anything to do with a car, and the motto at the end is just so disingenuous and pretentious. I honestly would not be surprised if they made a real commercial with a scenario similar to this one.

[@SpectralSlugger]

I got really confused when I started hearing Matt and Woolie

[@perplexus3893]

Me too. I didn't expect them to make another best of with the super best friends. Frankly, I feel pat would be a lot of fun on this podcast.

[@DickWad16]

90's R-rated action films also made toy lines for kids. We're looking at you, RoboCop.

[@Kaboomboo]

That's was the eighties. And there was also Terminator and I think Rambo.

[@tompeck5495]

@@Kaboomboo And Aliens, it even got a fuckin' cartoon aswell.

[@Seantendo]

The Toxic Avenger was so violent they didn't even bother submitting it for a rating because it would definitely get an X. Naturally it got its own Saturday morning childrens cartoon and action figure line.

[@FurryMcMemes]

We're quite fucked in the head in the USA

[@DUKEHadToDoItToEm]

Tbh you could probably get away with robocop even 5-10 years ago. Maybe not now, after goge flowd, but every other 80s and 90s r rated action hero is arguably a bad guy or morally grey while RoboCop is pretty much all good guy, and everyone loves good guys

Do you have a minor headache that goes away when you drink water? You don’t have to suffer anymore. Xynalus gets rid of occasional head pain so you can get back to what’s really important. Do not take Xynalus if you are allergic to Xynalus, are nursing or pregnant, or are planning to be. Ask your doctor before taking Xynalus. Common side effects include worsening headaches, depression, and dehydration. Less common side effects of Xynalus include paralysis, blindness, memory loss, and sometimes death. Stop taking Xynalus and call your doctor right away if you begin to experience joint pain, pressure behind the eyes, or full body bruising, as these can be signs of a life threatening condition. Ask your doctor about Xynalus today, and take your life back!

The first commercial seems VAGUELY familiar, but equally surreal. The weirdest thing about American TV as a statesman, is when you go to a new territory on vacation. FOR SOME ODD REASON, local commercials seem worse and different than the area you grew up in.

[@GrinningAries]

They perfectly captured the exact feeling of watching commercials on an American TV station for Canadians. We usually have seen living in the US being very similar to living in our own country, but watching some of your commercials make it seem like it exists in an intense and bizarre alternate reality. But yeah - TV shows made here in Canada are mostly so terrible due to and because of the fact there's actually a law that stations are required to show a certain amount of Canadian content. Otherwise it would be flooded with all American shows, since everyone prefers those. Besides our own news, I would be perfectly ok with us only getting TV content from outside Canada.

[@crazziemonkke]

I think the Super Best Friendcast should have Mick, Stamper, Oney and Zach on as guests. If not in one episode, then one or two at a time. Like a sort of Sleepycast version 2.5 or whatev

[@GrimZombiex]

Spencer Ditta well the thing is, is that everyone is split up across the country

[@crazziemonkke]

how often do they have people live on the podcast?

[@GrimZombiex]

If Super Best Friendcast is a thing ive never heard of it. Zach and Chris are in California, Mick and Stamper and Niall are still back there, but SleepyCast is over now I believe. Plus theyre all busy working on their own things soo yeah

There’s a reason for this, I’ll use Round Up as an example. So they found that the weedkiller Round Up could potentially cause cancer. A law firm sees this and recognizes they can sue for a shit ton of money. They make a class action law suit but they need people affected by it to join, so they make a shit ton of commercials asking affected parties to join. They advertise the financial aspect to get more people on board.

Those commercials of happy people going about their lives and it's all a commercial for a new drug, and at the end they tell you all the side effects really quickly and alot of them are fucking disturbing; and then like a month later a commercial saying have you or a loved one lose your genitals/get fucked up by this new drug call us and we'll get you some money.

[@gromblereal]

don’t forget the movie trailers where every single goddamn one has the exact same deep voice guy as the narrator and there’s always at least one moment in the trailer where the music stops and the character says something “funny” or “cool” before it kicks back in and ends 10 seconds later
