I noticed you guys also pronounce 'pasta' differently from your commercials. The KFC commercial you guys had a few years ago w/ the Indian family who just immigrated & their son joining a hockey team w/ the kids making him feel welcome by taking him to KFC almost made me cry.

Not local, but I miss this. That cut sound @ 0:07 is an ASMR trigger.

Not funny or wacky just a shampoo commercial by my local fav Raline Shah 😍😍😍



Not sure if wacky or creepy, but dancing mattress store guy from when I was living in Washington state (also has stores in Alaska too).
