OG: It's not just for Original Ganster anymore

Ever seen an Olive Garden commercial? You know, that Italian restaurant thingie?
That latest one has these people telling the waitress they're in the mood for "something different." Immediately, I yelled at them (though I'm sure they couldn't hear me), "Why are you at the Olive Garden then? Hello!"

I went on frowning at this commercial every time I saw it (which admittedly is not that often since I almost never watch TV) until yesterday when Jack reads me a little thread off the board.

Does Olive Garden make the most consistently non-funny commercials on tv?*

I think they're unintentionally brilliant. I laugh at all of them, and eagerly look forward to each new one...

...from the tortured dialogue to the retarded punchline to the token black guy in the circle of white friends (always in a pastel-colored golf shirt for extra-nonthreatening-ness) to especially the weirdly manic pacing, I love those ads. I not only picture what kind of morons at the ad agency and at Olive Garden conceived and approved the ads, I also think that there must be people who legitimately laugh at the punchlines. Then I think that those people are almost certainly voters, but I still laugh.
