Bizarre McCormick spice commercial

We were watching tv last night and a holiday ad came on for McCormick showing traditional holiday fare such as turkey being prepared but in the middle of this was a short scene with a woman holding her baby and slathering its head with herbs It was so fucking weird that we both looked other like "WTF"?

Does anyone else find this weird?

Oh dearing my sentence structure and grammar. I appear to have left a few words out. More coffee for me.

I believe this is a ritual performed in some primitive cultures in Europe.

You love the word "slather," dontcha, OP?

She's not slathering the head! The herbs fall on the head.

by Anonymousreply 4December 5, 2021 3:42 PM

She didn't slather the baby with herbs, you dimwit, they fell on the baby as she was measuring them out.

She's christening the baby. His name is Herb.

Lol, I don't know. We'd been drinking and it just struck us as weird as shit but we did laugh. It just looked like she was getting ready to pop the kid in the oven with the turkey.

I hope she puts that baby on her back before she tries to put the turkey into the oven.

You were right to alert us to this, OP. It *is* fucking weird.

Hopefully it becomes a holiday classic.

I’ll try to remember to watch this tonight when I’m stoned.

She's just blowing of some nutmeg or whatever that is from the top of the babies head.....I wish I was drinking what you were drinking OP lol

It must be because this commercial and that scene always catch my attention.

She's only measuring out about a half teaspoon of spice, that's not enough for anything, let alone a turkey. That's the real crime here.

Can you imagine the junior assistant brand manager at McCormick in Baltimore who managed this production and how excited they are to see it air. 15 seconds of pure spice.

Maybe it's a subliminal message.

Babies taste better when properly seasoned.

by Anonymousreply 15December 5, 2021 3:57 PM

I just hope she goes the slow roast method and doesn't just stick the baby in the microwave to save time. It can be messy.

Is she a babysitter on LSD? "I seasoned the turkey and put it in the oven!"

by Anonymousreply 19December 5, 2021 4:17 PM

She got the recipe from Hillary.

Remember when that loon, Davida, was posting about spirit cooking and Hillary and getting rather hysterical when we pushed back and kept insisting it was all TRUE.

Slather requires a liquid! She is sprinkling her baby!

Seasoning?

A novel approach, for sure.

It’s Q sending his followers a message. Baby eaters and rapists use McCormick.

Every time I see it, I laugh to myself about the casting call:

Baby wanted for a commercial. Must be willing to allow adult actor dump spices on it's head.

It’s a funny moment 😛

Clearly the frazzled woman is doing the best she can whilst holding her baby.

Holiday cooking waits for no man, or baby in the is case ☺️

She’s going to roast him op. They’re being inclusive some of us will be celebrating Saturnalia this December.

by Anonymousreply 30December 5, 2021 11:56 PM

She's blowing on the baby, too. Presumably she just took him out of the oven and is trying to cool him off, before she finishes sprinkling him. Her husband will do the carving.

She will wake up from her bender to find the turkey in the crib and the baby…..

McCormick! When you’re preparing Christmas dinner and you want your holy infant both tender and mild!

by Anonymousreply 33December 6, 2021 12:22 AM

Is she making baby food made from real babies?

by Anonymousreply 34December 6, 2021 12:25 AM

McCormick has a new advertising campaign. IMO, the message is: it doesn't have to be perfect, but you can easily do better than takeout every night.

The spice that fell on the baby's head looked like a dried herb mix. The message is: McCormick will not harm this baby.

You mean the kid strapped to her that she spilled some of the dried herb / spice garbage on before blowing it off?

You must be the type that doesn't make jokes; you just laugh at things.
