Commercials used to be creative ads selling real products from real companies.

Now it's AI generated robots trying to sell me tai chi walking or articulation training. Sigh.

Edited to add: These creative ads from real companies became cultural catch phrases. "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" "Back off, get your own sandwich!" "Weaddababyitsaboy." Never gonna happen with today's AI slop ads.

"Where's the beef?!" "Sock-em Boppers! Sock-em Boppers! More fun than A PILLOW FIGHT!"

At least when they got repetitive, it became a competition to finish X chore before the commercials were done/the show was back on. 😮‍💨
