Well, because he did actually review the show, if you actually took the time to read it.

“Why the FUCK is an M&M Super Bowl commercial making me think of Tucker Carlson???”

I give them a little curtsy and tip my humorously tiny cap to them.

With Fred not just dying but being wiped from existence - huge difference is a show with a canon afterlife - and Amy Acker still being hanging around afterwards to keep rubbing it in... Only regarding the character and not the relationship, I’d say Fred, for sure.

totally, if they had just deepfaked the ad it would have been less humiliating

Especially when you are doing mostly shot for shot remakes of those lines. They could have literally just paid them both likeness rights and used a computer and old footage to make this ad.  

It’s astonishing that they’re allowing their final appearances as those characters to be that fucking commercial instead of Better Call Saul.

Most of these ads depended on nothing else but empty nostalgia, no actual humor or any appeal outside of throwing around old catch phrases. I’d say the appeal of watching Super Bowl ads because you might see something different or innovative peaked in the late 80s. Get off my lawn.

I got bored before halftime and ended up watching Abel Ferrara’s Body Snatchers. Really fun movie so that’s my favorite Super Bowl commercial.

I really don’t get the lack of shame. What is the motivation? I’ve made millions upon millions of dollars in my career, but what I really need to do now is make a terrible commercial.

And I can even remember a time when our pop culture websites knew the difference between terrible commercials and the best commercials.

I think we lost something as a society when we decided to give up on the concept of selling out. Just because they’re not shilling for crypto doesn’t mean these a-listers aren’t trading on the respect they’ve earned as artists to dupe you into buying something you probably didn’t previously want or need. I’m not…

Maybe I’m a salty old man, but I remember when these commercials used to be clever and creative, instead of just showing an A-list celeb with a well-known property and tricking people into thinking they saw something funny

Search for “breaking bad parody” on YouTube. Any random result will be more amusing and most likely more clever than that ad.

The gopher is absent in the Caddyshack references because the people who made this movie clearly never saw the film.  Its like they asked a couple of people to name some scenes in the movie and vomited out this garbage. 

The Breaking Bad one was awful. Funny is not taking actors and having them repeat old lines but with a product name cut-and-pasted into it. Funny is doing something clever.

“Say. Its. Name.”? Painful.

Once upon a time there were only 11 movies on video tape (not counting porn: thouands and thousands of those). Therefore I have seen Caddy Shack at least 60 times. Brian Cox is no Ted Knight. And Serena, you’re the GOAT, what are you doing bad commercials for, huh?

I love how the exasperated tone of AV Club’s writing perfectly captures the exhaustion of someone just trying to get through reading an AV Club article.

Right?? To this day I don’t know which loss I think is more tragic, Fred or Tara.

When I saw this as my reading experience for this av club story, I just had to screenshot. What seems to be three different ads, one all the way up top, a video down below and this weird grey taking up all the remaining screen real estate. And it refused to close when I would tap the X, so I just kept reloading it…
