True Detective makes me want to drink Lone Star Beer.

And fucking chain smoke.

Advertisers want you to think you're not influenced by advertisements.

That's true, and anyone who voted "no" and has ever watched an E3 conference or a Nintendo Direct is lying to themselves.

I only buy indie/used/store brand. I'm not sure who is advertising those to me.in before my mother in before in before

Didn't you say you order everything non-food from Amazon? What is their store brand laundry detergent and the like?

I imagine this counts as indie:

Attachment 73247

Four ingredients, not so bad.

These three choices don't include my scenario at all.

I watch them if it's live TV and otherwise I don't.

I only see commercials at work when I'm sitting in rooms where people have the TV on, so I see a couple here and there but that's about it. I don't have TV hooked up at my house at all.

A pig in a blanket is a kind of food. The commercial has a literal pig in a blanket, in which people find the play on words humorous. To my knowledge that's the extent of the joke.
