I hate advertising "techniques" such as that one.

Just out of school, I had housemates. I complained about a BK commercial running seemingly ad infinitum. One read in the WSJ about BK wanting people to see the new ad at least 19 times in one week.

(Apparently, I wasn't the only one annoyed by it, and it was pulled in less than a week)

There's something about McCarthy I just can't stand.

Her shtick is very similar to Robin Williams in the sense of of a complete disdain for pacing/timing.

And I don't get her humor.

Robin Williams had EXQUISITE comic timing. The rapid — MANIC — delivery pace was unusual but part of how it worked.

Nothing to get. The bigger question is why anyone pays her a dime and why we even know who she is.

I saw the trailer at the movies. It was hilarious but definitely crossed the line. I figure all the funny stuff was In the trailer.
