I saw an ad for a car at a movie recently.
It went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
And then someone said ‘When is it gonna end?’
And the ad kept going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.
And then the ad finished and the next ad started.
Ya know, I thought the joke was gonna be the movie being the ad.
With a bit of polish that would be a good joke. Now that the ideas out there I wonder if it’ll come back around and one day someone will tell me a joke about seeing an ad at a movie.
It’s truly a menace. My wife refuses to let us show up to movies fifteen minutes late though. Anxiety. 🥲
To be fair to your wife we do the same thing because ‘You never know if they’re going to start the movie earlier then normal’.
The one time I convince her to try it, they’ll do that. Guaranteed
Just like the bus is always late except the one time you count on it being late.
For a car??? Don’t they advertise for upcoming movies anymore?
I used to like the ads in theater because that was a great way to find next movie to go watch. Pre-covid times that is, haven’t been in a theater since somehow Palps returned
Every theater I’ve been to has ads (mostly for local businesses it seems), followed by previews for upcoming movies, followed by the movie. So yeah, I never worry about showing up a little late to a movie
Yeah for a car. I think it was for Subaru. The ad was just the car driving through various vistas while a really long poem was being narrated. It’s possible the small cinema chain we go to needs the ad money to stay afloat.
I just show up 15 mins late. Fuck those advertisements.
I always get the super mega maxi alpha cosmic size and finish it off in spite of my own common sense. When the lights come on, I get to see myself covered in popcorn with a greasy hand, but I’m too tired and sick to sob, so just shuffle out under a cloud of shame and prepare to deal with removing kernels from my teeth for the next four hours. Sometimes my wife sees the regret coming and tries to take the bucket off me, but it’s like trying to take a bone from a dog.
One of the main reasons I used to go to movies - to eat a big bucket of popcorn, I always loved theater popcorn. I can’t find any microwave popcorn that even comes close to it. Now I’m older, and I have diverticulitis (those little pouches in the intestines that most people get eventually) so, I can’t really eat it like I used to. And that makes me sad : ( because I love popcorn!!
Alamo Drafthouse for the free refills and you don’t even need to leave your seat. ☺
Most places will do free refills on the largest size…
That’s a lot of carbs
Also a lot of fiber.
Lol that kid looks quintessentialy bri*ish 🤮
