The boys finally check their inbox and examine commercials sent in by our fans, who we hate now for some reason.

This episode's commercials: https://youtu.be/2UrYVYePijA

The boys watch presidential and senatorial ads for the 2020 election in their longest and worst episode yet.

The Commercial Boys watch several weird and vague television ads curated by Jacob. Dan tries and fails to guess what they're selling.

The boys talk about how lately, every commercial is just a monopoly vaguely promising that they're here for you. Don't worry, The Commercial Boys are totally actually here for you though.

Dai Delija joins us to discuss our favorite and least favorite super bowl ads, our Mike Bloomberg hot takes, and what you shouldn't say if you meet Dai.

In loving memory of Mr. Peanut.

The Boys look into Kidz Bop, exploring its origins, dissecting its current business model, and speculating wildly about its future. Oh yeah, and we also watch some commercials.

The Boys respond to a listener request, subjecting themselves to the horrors of Rock Auto's animated ad campaign.
