Yes, been seeing a lot of her recently! She is funny...

I have posted this guy before... have you seen him?


I have made it to start at the skinny jeans' part but the whole act is pretty good...
Actually I've seen every single special Drybar put on youtube. I have a LOT of free time these days. I went to their home page and dug through every video.

Here's one of my favorite commercials that I saw at the Superbowl in 2006 or 2009 (idr which but I'm pretty sure it was 06) My only reference point is the Steelers winning. I don't watch football but it was a church get together at a bowling alley where we rented a room with pool tables and such.


Other than that there are only a few others I would share...mostly I despise commercials and consider it incredibly invasive. There's a solid amount of psychology behind it too which makes it worse. I digress.

On topic: I think the Sonic (restaurant) commercials were pretty bad (the two guys in the car pre-2020). I think they were going for slapstick but it didn't connect with me. I didn't particularly care for Flo either but at least that was tolerable. I've only seen the barest handful of any commercials since the 20"teens" though.

Glad you liked it. The moment when it came on during the superbowl was a cool moment in my life. Very tasteful spoof of cow herding and it let me know that at least "someone" out there has cool ideas that they are willing to take a risk on.

It was rather a "what on earth" moment because at the end it was just Eds.com (which all I remembered was that it was a 3 letter website) but since it stuck in my memory it worked 15+ years later lol. It's cool too because I can share it and all I'm doing is advertising HP.

Distributor: Well we made a really good commercial that's funny and umm not stuffing a product down your throat can you check us out perhaps? Quite polite.

Shame that tactic is rarely used because it does foster goodwill on my end.
