Guinness, ‘Surfer’

The Cheetos one where the husband/dad uses a black light to see the Cheeto dust on his family’s faces. It’s even on the family cat! Cats eat Cheetos!

I probably have a few, but the one that really comes to mind is the Christmas commercial for the power of cheese. The kid puts out cheese instead of cookies for Santa.

And the kid wakes up to a car under the tree etc. there’s another spot now more recent that copied this idea

Any of the Sonic two guys spots. Those are funny AF.

I just found out that my CPA failed to file my returns and submit payment on time even though they confirmed on the 18th that it was going to be filed that day. I do corporate taxes and have extremely limited experience in personal taxes. What should I be concerned about here other than the penalty and late fees for their negligence?

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year I’ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and I’ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.

Need a quick point of view all - today on a group call, I asked a new c level male exec if it was fine for me to provide a client with a piece of information we had been discussing on the call (this required his approval). He replied “you’re an adult so tell them what you want”. I was immediately livid and felt it was a totally weird, condescending response. I’m a senior female employee at the company and this guy has already had issues at the company with his tone, thoughts? Am I overreacting?

If I'm really locked in, I can get a serious amount of work done fast. feel free to add yours (please lmao💀).

Need a space to vent...I spend hours and hours putting together an actionable, creative + platform-first positioning, bring my creative partner into the process, outline specific content buckets, and creatives come back with a totally off-the-wall concept. I ask them how it ties to the strategy, they give a bad answer. We go to into the IR and the account director tells them nicely to try again and align to the strategy. Why do I put so much effort into a strategy that will just be ignored?
