One that I saw about a year ago, stuck in my mind, I couldn't find it on youtube, or remember exactly how it went. Anyways, it's a cell phone commercial for t-mobile or maybe verizon, this guy walks into a greenhouse where his wife is watering some plants, he tells his wife that he just changed their plan to get more minutes.
His wife, before asking any questions, just says something to the affect of "great, I bet that's going to cost us a fortune, my mother was right I should have married Steve Jenkins..." in a real sarcastic tone. Then the husband with a major defeated/beta expression says, "it's free...", his wife looks at him blankly for a second, then turns her back and continues to water the plants. (End commercial)

When the hell did this trend start? It seems like every family show works the same way.

Shortly after Married with Children went off the air. The powers that be didn't want another Al Bundy. No MA'AM was getting too powerful.

Another McDonalds commerical is cringeworthy. I can't find it.
Basically a black couple is eating there food and the women bitches about a guy she knows who watches football on Sundays, and asks, isn't that horrible. Dudes internal voice is like, "play this smooth", and says "that guy is a jerk".
God forbid a dude wants to watch football on Sundays.
