Hi Nina,

I like those, too! And yeah, those Skittles ads can be…interesting to watch, but they aren’t especially funny. There was a period of time when “absurd for absurdity’s sake” was groundbreaking, but now it’s just ho-hum.

Thanks for commenting!
Nicki

Hi Katria,

I like those, too! They’re a really clever way of showing how hard those appliances work. 🙂

Thanks for commenting!

I like Ally Bank’s Facts of Life ads, especially the grocery shopping one. And I agree with you that Skittles’ ads are just silly. Forced humor is never fun to watch (or read).
