the road less tivo’d: dr.(j)’s orders

i suspect that tivo would not decrease my television watching time but increase it. so alas, i still watch commercials but find fewer folks to discuss them with. i often get blank looks when i ask…have you seen…..?

i realized that if i posted commercials, my audience may actually be watching them for the first time…but then we can talk about them!


dr. pepper commissioned these ads with famous fake doctors to promote their unique flavor that is enhanced by drinking them slow. here’s dr. j of basketball fame. he was the big thing before lebron, kobe, jordan and bird for those born of a certain era.

i love dr. pepper and i love these ads.

here’s a commercial that makes zero sense…….

you are on a fishing boat….catching the freshest most delicious, nutritious seafood in the world…but you cook and eat frozen turds from a box. i may not have a choice but you guys do. i suspect that you are not really fishermen.
