WTF is going on in that parking lot? The cars aren’t slowing down for anyone or anything. The convertible parked with its top down in a nice touch with the “it just rained” blacktop.

As someone who used to work on TV commercials like this in the 1980’s and 90’s the wet down of the asphalt pavement was S.O.P. It added a good deal of contrast and it also managed to hide any imperfections in the pavement.
The cars not slowing down is part of the commercial. They are all excited to be there. Carell references it at the end.

Back during the glory years of the Jon Stewart-helmed Daily Show, how many of us saw Carell’s short bits (“Produce Pete”?) and thought “this guy, he’s going to be a huge star someday!”?
Well, we were wrong.

It’s fun to see Carell. This is around the time I finished college and moved to Chicago. It was one of the golden ages of Second City.
Chris Farley, Tim Meadows, Carell, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey, Scott Adsit, Adam McKay all were there over the space of a few years. Farley stole the show anytime he was onstage, but they were all already incredibly talented. Tim Meadows once looked at me after a show and said, “You’re here again?! You’re going to know this shit better than I do.” We’d never spoken before. I guess I’d been going A LOT.

Chicken has cholesterol. They claim to cook without cholesterol. Therefore there is no real chicken in their chicken.
The brakes on K cars were not of the highest caliper.
