The TV Understands Me: NYC Commercials That are Too True

Filed under a taste for tv, living in new york sucks so hard, stuff i like

Somewhere out there, there’s a small town that wants you back.

I remind myself of this and then go look at the Facebook profiles of all of my now fat, married, and childrened hometown friends every time I find myself complaining about life in NYC.

This video is also amazing but unfortunately has embedding disabled. It shows exactly what it’s like trying to hail a cab in a city where every man is out for himself.

    Those are incredible. My cab hailing technique is to just run out into traffic and up to them while it’s their light. Pisses off the traffic and completely blows the minds of the people standing politely on curbs with their arms up, but it’s very effective and I’m not dead yet!

    And it’s true. I think I love my hometown in theory, but every time life gets hard in New York, remembering it makes me want to work even harder to never have to go back, somehow.

    Manhattan Mini Storage has great outdoor ads, too. Every time I saw this one it made me smile: http://www.saynotocrack.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/doll_collection.jpg

    When I come to visit you in NYC, I have a feeling it’s going to be a little something like this:
