Not a big fan of constant financial ads

But this Bonsai metaphor was well done

My own damn opinion
As usual

Dayum!

I first read that as "Frogwarts" and immediately flashed on a "Hogwarts" HP parody (as in H.P. Lovecraft, not Harry)

I'd jump start Cthulu Harry Potter parody in a heartbeat

On a lighter, nostalgic note:

Recently seeing Kisses & Rolo's ads that take me back to the 70's

My Momma used to make these PB cookies with a Kiss in the middle - called them Hugs & Kisses

No idea what peeps are callin' them nowadays

Um...
YT
This one didn't have weird AI visuals, but...

Did someone actually name their company "His Cocks"?
(As pronounced by the voice over)

I mean... did they run it by their Mom first or jest... mail it off while drunk one night?

SQUIRREL!

*cough* I mean fox

In the middle of a WAAAAGH! Skyrim run (Orc MC, orc & Gobbo horde of followers, Low magic, high violence) and just discovered the Kitsune & Kyubi custom races & followers

Guess I know my next themed run, eh?

Picked up 'Of Life and Land' and bumming around in it

Quite pleased that Twitch integration and mod support planned from the get go

Early days yet, but liking it so far

(*cough* Fox mascot... y'all know I can't resist ;-)

O.M.F.G!

I have never had a YT rec target my most inner heart so accurately @_@

"HuggedByGrandma"?

Subbed just for the name

(For the record, they had me at "Cheesy" ;-)

Just watched MusicianPlayerAlan's reaction to Ren's Animal Flow...

And that Giger-esque guitar made me wish I knew guitar

Fer some reason it reminds me of Debra Harry sittin' on that throne of bones...

Welp I don't mean ta say I'm gettin' old, but...

Jest watched an ad fer Dancin' with the Stars and just as a feller lifted the girl up an' she arched, showin' an...impressive...silhouette >_>
I swear the narrator said "Who has the best boobs"

Dearheart said it was "moves" :-P

Hmph! Spoilsport.

I got into a pretty damn cool kickstarter for a newtonion space sim a long time ago

Been watching the relentless updates for years, but it's been hidden in the Skunkworks...

Literally "In The Black"

While still not available, it just dropped a demo on Steam

OMFG

The next refresh after posting the above I started getting suggestions related to writing heroes

Big Data is terrifying

Also, fuck you
Write your own damn books

That's not gonna change

Any of y'all every idly check Google Maps and discover something only a few blocks away that looks cool?

I can think of a few of my friends that would dig a casual afternoon here

Ok

YT's new thing to "piss me off because thug-ads weren't enough" is playing half of the ads in another language; mostly, but not always, Spanish

A couple times Chinese and (Tagalog?)

This just started last night :-P

Things that make you go "Hmmm..."

Am I the only one that's noticed Fry's animated supermarket ads - all of them - have been replaced with live action actors performing the exact same scenes?

Both versions are cute, but...

It feels like there's a story there, else why not *new* ads instead?
October 1, 2025 at 2:42 PM
For once, I'm *not* complaining about a YT ad

I find this 6-sec actress simply beautiful

She has no lines, simply looks up with a smile

I find myself hoping she is "discovered" and has a Cinderella career

Goodonya, Nationwide Vision

Uh-huh

Pull the other leg, YouTube
September 24, 2025 at 9:26 PM
I mean...

I'ma old codger and seen a bit, but...

1) Is a YouTube *human* actually approving these ads?
2) Is a Yarn store actually aware of the ad's images?
3) Is there anyone actually ignorant enough to trust that "sponsored" link?

Made a big pot o'French Onion Soup, but I'm eating it alone

Not looking for pity, but a firm believer in the influence of well-wishing on reality

Mutuals, send nuthin but good vibes, please

Funny or cute pics will do ;-)

I'm not a shill, I swear

But I am a nostalgic old gamer and every once in a while sumpin comes along to really make me grin

This 13 item bundle at Humble Bundle for $10

That's *30* games for 10 bucks

Most of which I remember with extreme fondness

If that makes me a shill...
So be it :-)

IMO, whoever did this may have thought they were compromising, but I think they merely passed off both the over & under TP camps :-p
