Reflection Connection Expectation

I hate the following ten TV commercials

  1. The husband is a simple being who just wants TV and sports.  The wife is an intelligent task-master who is proud that Product X got him off his fat ass or tricked him into health.
  2. The husband or boyfriend hates being in a relationship and wins some degree of freedom from the shackles that bind him.
  3. The car in the ad is different than all others.  It will make you stand out.  It will make you special.  It is the best car…ever.
  4. Company Y, despite its sins of the past, is now saving children, the environment, and the economy.
  5. Baby talks.
  6. Animal talks.
  7. This product is about people.  In fact, it was made by people just like you.  The people on screen are not actors, sorta.
  8. This medicine will save you from whatever ills you.  Its side affects just might kill you, or at least gross you out over the next 90 seconds.
  9. Product Z is made in a very clean environment by funny people you can relate to.  You want to hang out with them as you consume Product Z.
  10. The people on this evening news program are hysterical locals.  They are your friends who live down the street.
