At the risk of appearing like a curmudgeon, commercials nowadays are just infuriatingly awful. I don't know if it's unskilled "talent" or marketers targeting our emotionally-vulnerable 18-34...but wit, creativity and talent have died.
For example...and this is quite frequent...Cox "shoehorns" an implausible situation based on 1 erroneous word. It's the commercial with a woman getting the promotion.
She calls her doughy stay-at-home husband and says, "I got the promotion!" ["That's great! What's your new job title?"] "Queen of England." Then he psychotically launches into a CETK-like obsession of pageantry.
She said "the" promotion...not "a" promotion. By using the word "the," it's understood she's referring to a specific job title and presuming the husband knows the job title. But he isn't even aware of a promotion. Realistically, if he questions the new job title, she would have gotten mad because he previously didn't listen to her.
It's just awful writing.
