OmG, no!! I was ecstatic when I finally got to see it. I had never seen it but could easily recognize it after his descriptive tapestry of vitriol. So, so funny!

Everyone posting screen shots daily of the weather to social media as if I:
A) Am unable to use my own personal cellular device to access said weather forecast
B) Can't feel its cold as shit just by walking outside

I get it Karen, its cold.

I just assume that they're sharing that with their non-local followers. I have a few friends in Texas/Florida, and they struggle to believe how cold it gets here.

Then the dork kid runs up the driver's side, where the shotgun seat definitely isn't. What a stupid kid. And then it turns out neither one of them sits shotgun; they both sit in the back.

Then the dad realizes at some point into the trip that he forgot to turn on the radio, which he calls "tunes" like an absolute cunt. What a stupid family. Hopefully the mom and grandma are fucking other guys while their loser husbands are off being assholes.

International text message? FOR SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCERS? God.

When on Monday you pay extra for 2 day shipping and Canada post says meh we’re busy and delays the delivery to next business day after saying out for delivery which is feb 16

Friends who live in warmer places constantly reminding me of how cold it is here.

All Wealth Simple commercials on YouTube.

Also - no, the average person does not practise yoga for 73 hours per year.

I glanced at Facebook today and the trauma that Vancouver island residents were going through was overwhelming.

Nanaimo: The Asshole of the Island.
Maybe it'll get cold enough that they bring that sweet mayor back and some of those gem councillors.

There's another car commercial now. I don't know what it is. Something red. The mom and the kid, who is definitely old enough to not piss all over himself, are going somewhere and both his mom and dad ask him if he needs to go to the bathroom. He says no, and off they go. Then, in a twist, it turns out he does need to go. His mom uses every fancy gadget in the new 2021 red whatever to get to wherever they are going so he can get to a bathroom. But it's too late - he's already pissed all over himself in the back seat. Well, that's life, and off they go hand in hand into some building, pissy pants and squishy shoes and all.

This is probably less of a pet peeve and more of an I don't get it, but there's no mega thread for that.

Every mega thread is an I don’t get it megathread

I thought every thread was a covid thread.

I only know how to make mega posts.

^Ha! I just saw that one, too. I think it's for a Sante Fe.
I just hooked up cable again for the first time in years, so I haven't seen much of commercials in forever (aside from the shit on YouTube).

That kid is way too fucking old to be Johnny Pissy Pants.

Good call, here's the ad for anyone who wants to play along at home.

I don't have kids so maybe this is normal, but it just seems so fuckin weird.

That's mean spirited, making fun of a kid with some kind of developmental issue. I mean maybe we should be cheering the normalization of disabled life situations, but not sure how that helps sell the car. Weird.

I was searching around for a joke in there. Thought better of it.

Hyundai’s are gross.

What do you mean?
Do you get the vibe that this kid is disabled? I just think he's younger than he looks. I can't soak all this shit in fast enough.

Commercials are ruining my cable reconnection! That stoned corpse outside of the flipped car during a fucking hockey game that kids watch? I can only assume that's MADD. Fuck them and fuck their actual prohibitionist agenda. Sure am glad I had a chance to explain that shit to little kids.
