:( :( :(

not an ad, but i really truly hate that smug poem that ends with the line about roast chicken and red wine.

I hate all these "in the know new yorker" ads for seamless and flatrate and that other storage company. Really, really hate.

And also I agree about that roast chicken and red wine poem.

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

wow freud so hipster very brooklyn

all these bushwick kids with their "worlds greatest grandpa" tees

are you in NYC Ryan?

yeah I live here now! texan in the big city midnight cowboy style. minus the cowboy hat.

In Texas is there lots of overly familiar "Yeehaw we're Texas, truckballs on my Ford amirite?" advertising? Cuz it seems like a symptom of that whole "I'm a New Yorker" thing that comes from really wanting to identify with here because you left somewhere else that was too boring or square.

it's literally inescapable in Texas, with bonus bashing of other places as in the famous picante sauce ad where the salsa is revealed to be made in *shudder* new york city.

I think part of what I hate about the NYC stuff is that it's mostly stuff that does not actually make me feel proud

tbf though most salsa made here is some bullshit

"We order lots of takeout because we can't cook for ourselves, our apartments are small and shitty, and we're shallow, superficial, judgmental and materialistic!"

Is there even a salsa industry in NYC anymore? I mean if there is I'm sure it's triple-priced craft salsa or w/e.

hurting 2 is burt stanton and i claim my $5

take out is by far the #1 reason to live in ny, just one of the greatest human achievements ever, and i cook for myself v well fwiw

wait not takeout DELIVERY

I'm probably just bitter because there's no good delivery in my hood now. It's like, uzbek kebab and that's it.

first time i saw this, thought of those "new york city!" ads

^lumpy ketchup in jar.

just kidding i havent had that one.

having brooklyn itself as a logo is not a smart graphic choice

is that john bull in profile dressed like a chicken?

BK salsa is okay.
amazing local salsa to be found here: http://www.bbg.org/visit/event/chile_pepper_festival_2013
Discovered this stuff there: http://www.redheadhotsauce.com/ which is concentrated awesome

will try. looks like it might make a good michelada as well.

i bought six bottles from that lady about a year ago; gave three away and have been working through the second one since. plan on having some around as long as she makes it.

lol the nadir of the "HEY YOU LIVE IN NEW YORK ADS" was those yankees themed... maybe budweiser? ads with mo rivera and the caption CLOSER IN A CITY OF CLOSERS

zizmor and the language schools are still the only subway ads i like

i will always rep for john roland compensated spokesperson

I was alarmed to see that zizmor made an appearance in Bleeding Edge. id like to think the ad hasn't changed at all since 2001.

"the school of practical philosophy" is a cult right?

least fun cult ever

hugh jackman is into it!

iirc its just transcendetnal meditation

hope nobody has been #PouringOnThePounds recently, because there is an ad campaign directed squarely at YOU.

Also, the West Village version of that HIPSTER CHECKLIST Flatrate ad is equally awful

Altho weird enough the version I saw had "Pet Stylist" or something as the 4th option.

Yeah as noted above, fuck those flatrate ads they're terrible. The concept is already bad, but the execution is so poor.

"west village" still annoys the fuck out of me. it's like saying "gin martini". it's "the village". that's it!!

How old are you?

Trying to picture film directors who live in the West Village struggling to figure out how to move, and somehow finding themselves on the G train and going "Aha!" Like, don't those people have assistants or something?

what's with the accent over the e in "move"?

everyone says west village

i will only watch another episode of Brooklyn 99 if Zizmor guests.

the daily mail o_O

Ugh, these KROLL SHOW ads. Nothing could be less funny.

This lucas guy needs to fuck off

yeah so watched a couple Kroll Show clips, it's even less funny than the ads

I spent half of this week's subway rides trying to get "Lucas With The Lid Off" out of my head. Wonder how many others are suffering from the same.

well one more now
