★★★★★ · "How can such a pretty wife... · Christopher · 2003-06-20

make such bad coffee?" One's immediate answer can't help being, "Good question, now I want a divorce." It's difficult, though, to gauge the level of irony here. Is the wife really that worried about what her husband thinks of her coffee? Is pleasing him always really key to a good marriage? The reactions, though, seem so over-the-top, the dialog so stereotyped, that it's tempting to imagine that there's some satire going on here. The beginning of irony in advertising?

★★★★★ · This Isn't a Noxzema Commercial · IN MY OPINION · 2011-01-17

In my opinion the husband showed up in the wrong commercial. He showed up to do a Noxzema shaving commercial. And she showed up to do a Folgers coffee commercial. Both actors took the money and shook their heads. Asking what just happened in this commercial? IN MY OPINION.
