I can’t describe how disturbing I find the new Jacoby & Meyers ad. If you haven’t seen it, I apologize that I wasn’t able to locate a video of the offending commercial. Basically, it appears as if your very own television is experiencing technical difficulties: the absent remote control holder attempts to turn the TV on and off, flips channels, and generally tries everything they can to escape the omnipresent law firm’s logo.

In addition, the sound effects they use are so familiar to me, from things like the Interrogation Tapes from The L Word (fans will know what I’m talking about), that I get confused every time. I hate when I hear a familiar sound effect in a new context…it’s like how when I’m walking around the streets of New York and hear a cab pulling over and stopping the meter, I think the smoke monster from Lost is after me.
