I don't think I'm a grumpy man. I think I'm a very happy man with beautiful things in my life,

0:23.4

but I'm going to sound grumpy for a minute about two television commercials that are running right now that I do not like.

0:30.0

Number one is the no flex zone wing stop commercial. I think it's wingstop. I didn't like the song before the ad,

0:37.0

but now that ad has been

0:38.5

played so many times that I especially don't like the song. And I don't, that's all I can think of

0:44.5

is it is just overdone and I don't like the song because there's nothing wrong with the ad.

0:47.5

I mean, the people in it seem likable. They're playing jenga in the ad and eating wings. I like janga and I like wings. Everything about it's fine.

0:55.3

It's just a song, over exposure. I don't know. I'm sick of the No Flex Zone commercial

0:59.0

that they play during all the sporting events. Second commercial I'm sick of is, I think by an

they're right. And they take out a little red. It kind of looks like a napkin with maybe some beans

1:22.7

tied off in the bottom to give it some weight. It's a challenge flag. And they throw the challenge flag.

1:27.3

And that's a

1:28.1

reference to American football, wherein if a coach disagrees with a call that some officials made,

1:34.6

he can throw this red flag on the field. And then the officials have to stop play. It's very boring.

1:40.2

And they take five minutes and have to go watch a video review of the play to see what actually

1:44.4

happened. And that's kind of the joke in this commercial. And inevitably, whoever is higher on

1:49.5

the advertising demographic likeability totem pole at any given time, they are always the winner

1:56.0

and the less likable person is not the winner. And then you're supposed to go buy their product or something.

2:01.6

I don't know. I just don't like the execution of the ad, I guess. But it is a nod to this
