The weird brothers.


These commercials for Romano's Macaroni Grill are very weird. Forgetting that it is difficult to figure out this "voyeur" theme, the two men from Macaroni Grill are very unattractive and creepy and their setting is not all that appealing. They are also oddly sadistic in their joy at the couple's mundane meal. Also unappealing is the man in the living room setting. So basically nothing is seductive about this ugly commercial, including the food shot at the end in which all the selections look cold.

Part Two: What I find incredibly annoying with YouTube is that they are so greedy for advertising revenue that if you want to see a commercial like the one above, then you have to put up with  other pop-up ads. I fantasize the day will come when the American public says enough to this overexposure
to far more commercials than are necessary for providers to make a profit.
