I normally like those Dunkin commercials but this one seemed like it was written in a MDMA fever dream. Although I really liked Sam Malone popping out and telling him he can't milk the Boston crap forever. I really couldn't tell -- was Ben Afleek supposed to be someone from Friends? It was very confusing.

Did we pay for that MAHA ad out of our tax dollars? I looked it up and at least the ICE one was paid for by some "non profit" and not tax dollars.

In general, I didn't think they were that great and I was wondering if they just use AI to write commercials now.

My favorite current commerical is actually the Starbucks one for the Olympics because the scenery is so gorgeous I can watch it over and over! (They are doing a coffee run down the mountain into the town).


No, the intro said before they made Good Will Hunting the movie, they made a TV show starring a better actor (or something like that) so Ben Affleck was in the Matt Damon role (Will Hunting) and then the others were all TV stars from the 80s and 90s (except Tom Brady). It was supposed to be like a TV sitcom.


+1 I just watched again and it's so good. They've got cheers, seinfeld, fresh prince, friends, saved by the bell, and of course damon/affleck. Did I miss anyone? After not understanding what's the beef with 50-cent and a comb, it's pretty fun to get all the inside jokes of the 80s/90s. I would watch 2 hours of these cameos and one-liners.

I missed the Saved by the Bell part. Steve Urkel (Jaleel White) from Family Matters was there too.

Department of homeland security got a huge budget increase. Easy to do when you gut the department of education, and so much of the rest of the government

Fun fact for everyone who liked the Bud commercial: the eagle, Lincoln, is a real, rescued bald eagle who serves as a mascot at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles (Go Birds!!)

Thought the ad for the unnamed Netflix movie was smart too. Everyone asking "wait, did they not say the name? Is the name "Coming Soon"?" and turning to their phone to look it up.

PP again. The intro voiceover is one of the funniest parts: "Before the movie, a much better version of Good Will Hunting was made as a sitcom with a real genius in the lead, and some other actors.” So a funny dig at Ben's BFF, Matt.
