    I saw an ad for a car at a movie recently.

    It went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

    And then someone said ‘When is it gonna end?’

    And the ad kept going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on.

    And then the ad finished and the next ad started.

        With a bit of polish that would be a good joke. Now that the ideas out there I wonder if it’ll come back around and one day someone will tell me a joke about seeing an ad at a movie.

      It’s truly a menace. My wife refuses to let us show up to movies fifteen minutes late though. Anxiety. 🥲

      For a car??? Don’t they advertise for upcoming movies anymore?

      I used to like the ads in theater because that was a great way to find next movie to go watch. Pre-covid times that is, haven’t been in a theater since somehow Palps returned

        Every theater I’ve been to has ads (mostly for local businesses it seems), followed by previews for upcoming movies, followed by the movie. So yeah, I never worry about showing up a little late to a movie

        Yeah for a car. I think it was for Subaru. The ad was just the car driving through various vistas while a really long poem was being narrated. It’s possible the small cinema chain we go to needs the ad money to stay afloat.
