1. Stella promo- It's the same as the one in the first part. This show won't last.
2. Mind of Mencia promo- Oh hey, a different promo. Ha, get it? Incest joke! And he's telling a religious joke in front of nuns! So edgy! Next!
3. Absolut- You can see it in the thumbnail. It's the same ad as before.
4. Toyota- Another repeat. Gas prices are still high.
5. L'oreal- Finally, something I haven't seen yet. This ad is voiced by either Dennis Miller or a Dennis Miller impersonator. And this isn't your average L'oreal. This is L'oreal for Men. They highlight this by updating the slogan to "Because you're worth it too." You know, in case men were feeling marginalized.
6. Tabasco- Haha, they want you think two people are having sex in a trailer, but they're just pouring hot sauce! Next!
7. Bud Light- Bud Light usually has funny ads to compensate for how lousy their beer is, but this is just too generic. It is filled with lies though: "Refreshing every single time." Sure, if you like beer that tastes like a nickel urinated. (Thank you, John Oliver.)
8. Taco Bell- I remember when Taco Bell would run these ads featuring a slow tempo, quasi-Mariachi music track, which is about as close to Mexican culture as the restaurant has ever gotten. This was right around when they'd start narrowing their focus to college students with disposable incomes, and they began it by highlighting the fact that they're open until 1 A.M. It's also worth noting that their slogan around the time was "Think Outside the Bun" in an attempt to position themselves as being better than places like McDonalds and Burger King. In the past few years, they've dropped the pretense by offering things like the Doritos Locos Taco and the Waffle Taco. They're one of the boys.
