wince-inducing

I usually watch "The Office" on Tuesday nights on TBS. ( for my money, it's the best-written and most brilliantly casted show on TV )

In addition to "The Office", I have to see the commercials on TBS. This includes the commercials that try to pass themselves off as little comedy routines.

Have you seen these?

It's where some writer comes up with really bad "jokes" that are actually advertisements for, say, Staples or Budweiser and then a second or third tier comedian ( someone that you saw on Comedy Central once at like 3:00 AM ) performs in front of a fake audience who, of course, are just bowled over by the hilarity of a joke about beer or office supplies.

How..............................goddamn sad.

I FUCKING HATE THOSE! I have been ranting about those things to anyone within earshot since I first started seeing those. Have you seen the one where Kid from Kid 'n Play recites about poem about Sonic?

Fuck TBS, fuck Sonic, and f-... I guess Kid needed the cash. And hip hop has never really had the drilled-in "selling out" policy that punk had/has. BUT STILL. FUCKING STILL.
