Is there a class of TV commercials that is more pointless and devoid of any relationship to the product they're selling than cologne/perfume commercials?
Agreed.

Also, I don't understand how the fashion industry is a thing.  The disconnect between famous fashion designers and the absurdities worn in fashion shows -----------> to the red shirt hanging on the rack in your local store......WHAT?

I like the “Your Cousin from Boston” commercials Sam Adams has been airing lately.

Yeah, I know. A commercial doesn't need to be good, it just needs to be memorable. But "memorable" doesn't mean the commercial is memorable, it means that it drills the name into your head.

That's the problem with many funny commercials--you remember the funny commercial but don't remember what it was for.

Cologne/perfume commercials are just weirdness followed by flashing the name of the product up on the screen. I don't know if they really lead to remembering all that well what product they're for.
I bet they do, especially for dopey male consumers. 

If you walk into a store with the idea of buying such a product, recognizing a name goes a long way. Chances are, most people who buy those don't know much about them, and the "Hey, I've heard of that, it's supposed to be fancy" element would carry it a lot.

Apparently, women can recognize whether that shirt is a thing or from Walmart, some women.

The wife likes to visit this fancy French shop in Buckhead on occasion and I stand around looking.  I chatted with one of their many salespeople a bit and asked him if he could tell when someone who walked in was a poser or a real customer.  He hesitated a bit and told me the giveaways were the shoes and the watch.  he said some rich guys come in dressed like they just got out of bed, but they will have on an expensive watch and shoes.

I can't even think of the name of the store.  I had to look up expensive French scarves, it's Hermes.

She was delighted to find one here.

My hands smell of garlic and basil.  I'm making spaghetti sauce.

Now my keyboard also smells.
hope you're slicing that garlic super thin and using san marzano tomatoes. if you strain the seeds out it also comes out a lot better. the seeds have all the bitterness. And I typically take a small piece of orange peel and tie it together with some basil- or peel some carrots and throw them in and just cook them with the sauce then remove. No sugar or wine or any of that bullshit. bring it up to a boil, then turn it way down, put the lid on and cook it low and slow for at least an hr. low and slow.
