This could go in the "Things that shouldn't piss you off but do." thread....

but this calm, overly understanding, lispy, guy guiding people into their uninteresting retirement dreams of survival.

Came to post this one, glad I searched first. But I had a slightly different interpretation of the bolded. In the opening scene, he has his arm around a woman and was telling the table a story that appeared to involve her. Based on that I assumed it was his wife/date to the party...and that makes it all the more strange that he drives away from the party alone after making that sweet masse' shot.

I dunno I spot 9 people at the table (5 men and 4 women), and Matt seems to be the one by himself to me. But it's possible another guy was there by himself. It's also open to interpretation whether Matt owns the house, and leaves in the middle of a party he was throwing, or if he was invited to someone else's house, or if he just showed up.






I enjoyed this analysis of the commercial:

Anyway, the action. This is so great. McConaughey spies the table and holds the cue stick vertical to execute a perfect spinning masse shot, sending the cue ball weaving around and through clumps of other balls until it gently taps the object ball into the pocket. This is cool. It’s a cool thing. If you know how to do this, you should do it a lot to impress people. The weird thing about it, though, is that he does it in complete silence. Never explains any of it to the people standing near him. Like a crazy person.

Also, in a move that I can only assume is a nod to the home audience watching this, a woman is heard repeatedly saying “I’ve never seen that before” as he’s doing it. This can mean a few things.
  • She’s never seen someone do a sick masse shot before
  • She’s never seen someone walk away in the middle of a conversation to play pool against himself as though he’s deep in a trance
  • My theory about these commercials being about a man who is slowly losing his mind was correct and the “this” she’s referring to is a troubling new behavior that should justifiably worry his family and friends.

All equally plausible.

I will say, when you watch these from the standpoint of them being about a man slowly going insane, it makes them a lot more enjoyable.

haha I just saw it again and came back to say basically that yeah, he wasn't as close to the woman on the right as I thought and could have been talking about a third party when telling his dumb story

Dom,

I thought you were an old. Olds love barbershop quartets.

But the Cardi B commercial can die quickly rather than slowly.

That’s a Gen X dad imo. He’s your age.

Nah he's 56. The kid is like 26. Nobody in my generation has kids at 24. Or even 30 for the most part. Boomers though are plopping those things out at 30.

At mid-fifties, it all depends how defensive he is about his grouping. Gen-X is all about "not being a Boomer."

He's a Boomer. Gen-X would never be that narcissistic to say "I created a rock star".

Dad will probably be glad to show you his Gibson collection that inspired his son, on the way to the garage to see his Harley. If you're lucky you'll get tales about how fun Sturgis was last year.

Oh that's right you were asking about my son, the rock star. Yeah he's going to play in Tampa next month right after Jimmy Buffet. The wife and I are huge Parrot Heads so...

Can't really blame them.

Gen-Xers spent their whole lives in the wake of a garbage barge.

Ignoring the phone-cam of a commercial, if someone could explain how people who install solar panels at home use MORE of the power grid, that would be great and possibly keep me from having a stroke every time this commercial airs.

excess energy created by the solar panels go back into the grid. They are probably considering that using the grid.
