Aren't You Glad You Have a DVR?

When I lived at home I wanted a DVR soooo bad. I begged my parents, told them all of the features that would make it worthwhile, but no go. So Jon and I moved out together and had to skimp on things like DVRs we just had to watch commercials. And guess what my parents go and do? GET A DVR! Woe is me!

Jon and I were watching tv last night and we saw this commercial (because we cannot fast forward them!) And I didn't notice anything too odd but Jon sure did. See if you can spot the weirdness in this commercial.

Still don't see it? Check around the 20 sec mark.
yes, she just put cinnamon rolls on HER SALAD. I mean I get that we all get a little nuts at buffets but pastry on roughage? Cici's are you really trying to encourage this? Can't we get that gal a second plate? No? Ok enjoy your cinnamon roll salad.

Now there is nothing strange about this commercial, I just think it is sad.
Come on Karen, you were on Will and Grace, a super popular show and now ....butter? (I'm sorry, I Can't Believe It Is Not Butter) Really? The part that makes me mourn for her former career is the part at 13 seconds, that or the part where the guy is dragging her on the big butter tub whilst doing the moonwalk.
Have you seen any odd commercials lately?

OMG, we are totally TV commercial twins. I am SO PERTURBED every time she puts the cinnamon rolls on her salad! Also, I too feel a little sad for Karen. She's been on Broadway, for goodness sakes!

The cinnamon roll salad makes me CRAZY! So nasty.

(We have a DVR by the way, actually AT&T Uverse so all of our tvs can play back recordings, but I don't always watch that way and that's how I saw that atrocity)

I noticed that Cici's commercial a while back and my husband (who used to frequent that joint) told me people always had weird combos of food at that buffet. As far as ICBINB? Just sad.

Ha! I know the girl in the Cici's commercial- she's a comedian. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a joke!
