  • Taylor Tomlinson asks James Davis, Laura Peek, and Irene Tu for help coming up with excuses you can use to cancel plans like an extended family reunion or your friend's child's birthday party. You'll want to remember these helpful lines now that Mucinex Nightshift has made "I'm sick" an excuse of the past. Sponsored by Mucinex.

    That product placement was as subtle as Subway in a kdrama.

    This wasn't sponsored, Taylor is just a huge fan of Robbie Williams AND Mucinex Nightshift.

    As Phoebe said in the pilot episode of Friends: "Oh, I wish I could, but I don't want to."

      Along a similar vein, I know someone who will ditch if better plans come along, saying: "Life has called, and I must answer"

    My girlfriend and I have always talked about making a band that only covers songs other bands have already covered.
    We’re gonna be “The Duvet Covers”

    I combined Cuervo with Mucinex and now I can't come to your Better Man themed wedding.

    Ok, that was icky. I so love being advertised to by content creators, always feels natural and not forced at all 😉😉

    Gotta say, i liked the comedy spin on that ad. If more to come, pls keep that energy!

    James' dice bit: he plays TTRPGs. That's roleplayer behavior

    Not only did Mucinex sponsor this segment, but they were in the ad before this clip. Mucinex is EVERYWHERE

    Sorry. I can’t come to your destination wedding that doesn’t have direct flights because I have to change a tray of week old Kitty litter in 103 degrees with 98% humidity. Did I mention Kitty is suffering from IBS?

    That's one way to plug a sponsor 😂

    Ad reads arent so bad when its done this way. Still wish they werent done

    My excuse is: I work the nightshift and drank Mucinex Nightshift thinking it would help me get through. One bottle a day isnt the right dose?

    I love that what’s basically a 5 minute ad for Mucinex can support this fine show AND be hilarious.

  • @thepaperbowser

    Why stop at television commercials and TH-cam ads, when you can inject that trash into the actual content?!
    This is garbage. I like the show, but this is a sure fire way to stop me from watching. When your show becomes ads, it's not a show anymore

    • @Tasonir
      @Tasonir 5 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      it shows that the ratings are ok, but not great. They're looking for more revenue. Back in the early days of conan o'brien's late night show, he also did some product reads.

    • @Peter_Cordes

      IDK man, they actually worked the promo into the game in a way that was was slightly silly and fit the feel of the show. I have mixed feelings about this mostly in a slippery-slope sense, that this was ok once, or infrequently, but could be really clunky if every day had a game like this. It would be like repeating the same joke every day, and stop being funny.

  • @artlesscalamity

    This has been such a fun comfort show but man…. injecting ads into the games is a really bad direction to go in. I hope this is not going to become a regular thing.

  • @mavigogun
    @mavigogun 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Odious, in-your-face integrated adds ultimately reduce viewership, leading to even LESS revenue. What a mistake.

    I am shocked that no one was tempted to burn the bridge of ever being invited on the show again by giving the excuse “Sorry, I am at the hospital due to an overdose of this highly toxic and addictive Mucinex … this stuff shouldn’t be legal, particularly after playing a not insignificant role in starting the COVID pandemic.”

    What a weird and random sponsor... Less cringey than one would expect though, and I feel like that's on Taylor's read, which somehow feels just like 1% like it's parodying sponsored segments or the absurdity of doing one, yet without disobeying or denigrating the brand at all... That's a really subtle line to walk, and it's really helped by the panelist laughing every time she says the tagline like it's an obvious joke. What a weird world we live in

    • @Peter_Cordes
      @Peter_Cordes 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah, 100% agreed, leaning into the fact that this is silly. Felt like one of Sam Riegel's ads on Critical Role (which are solid gold; the only advertising I actually look forward to, mostly because the bits he does usually have little to do with talking about the product.)
      This would get old real fast if they do it every day, but once a week could be ok. Especially if they can do as good or better a job of designing the premise of a game around the product.

    What the hell? This is disappointing and part of the same problem as zusk and muckerberg. Will there ever be a time where I won't have ads shoved into the very entertainment I'm using to distract me from my existential crisis? Are commercials not enough? I'm reminded of updates to Burnout:Paradise that changed the in game billboard ads for real life products. Is there no escaping the madness?

    "I can't come to your (event) because I used so much Mucinex Nightshift that I ran out of Mucinex Nightshift and I have to go buy some more Mucinex Nightshift." Seriously though, Mucinex is my go-to cold and flu medication.
