I am, apparently, in the minority when I say that this ad doesn't annoy me.  I think it is kinda interesting how the woman's voice sounds like it was recorded in the 1940s.  It just has that classic feel to it.  I'd rather watch that ad than the local tone-deaf Fairfax Hyundai holiday ad , though. LOL

But the visuals in this ad...Dead...especially the too-cool-for-school idiot on the drums.
Welcome to Commercial Land. This is a magical place where all women look up while eating, and it is perfectly acceptable to slurp the hell out of a Dannon yogurt cup.

The name of this collaberation is Pomplamoose.  As someone mentioned earlier.
As an amatuer musician, honestly, I really enjoy their videos.  She actually does have a really good voice, which is not really shown off in the "Up on the Housetop" track.
At the end of a lot of the videos they talk to the YouTube audience, where she (Nataly is her name and Jack is his) talk about tee-shirts and charity donations.
They don't earn a dime off of this stuff so far, it is all donated to charity.
 
This is their video of the song that was used in the Chevy commercial.

I kinda like that version of Mr. Sandman.  But as soon as they started talking, I knew they had to be from SF.  I knew it!  Kinda cloying, if you ask me.  Especially him.  Nothing creeps me out more than guys who believe in the magical world of unicorns.

I know that I'm not tone deaf and I think she has a great voice.  Those that think she can't sing are the tone deaf ones.

Frou Frou is Imogen Heap. SHE can definitely sing.

So can this girl, but she just has no character to her voice. She sounds board.

I think the girl's kinda cute, and the song's been in my head most of this month.  I can see how the ad might be annoying though.

Seems these insipid commercials with the twee music and the fey couple are now on every ten minutes.  Are car dealerships expecting a last-minute sellout on Christmas Eve or something?
 
The more I see this duo, the more I dislike them.  It's getting dangerously close to a seething, downright hatred.  I can't wait for them to go away.  Or die.  Especially the guy.  I'm borderline wanting the Taliban to behead him.

I could not agree more with anyone that posted the desire to dish out a physical beating on these two clowns. The very first time I saw this back in late Nov or early Dec it made me furious and I knew I could turn to this site for therapy.

 

Now that I’ve seen it at least 50 more times since, it’s angered me to the point I would punch this guy square in the chops if I ever saw him. He’s an a$$hole shaking around with all his little props and outfits! I’d break everyone of his fingers!

 

As for the woman, I can’t say I hate her as much as the guy but she is one homely looking person. She truly looks like a teenage boy should really think about changing that hideous wardrobe.

 

Now that x-mas is over I beg this commercial goes with it. I hope to never see or hear this makeshift ‘band’ Pomplamoose again in my life.

The thing is...... if you look on YOUTUBE you'll see ALL their videos are the same format.  She sings emotionless, unblinking while they cut the screen up with images of her.   Then intersperse pictures of the guy on the piano, guitar.  Rinse. Repeat.  
 
Here's an idea:  Try something new for the love all that's holy.

GAH!

Yeah, it's cool knowing they play their own instruments... musically that's cool... but this commercial takes a frightening veer into muteworthiness. It's even a channel-changer 'round these parts.

You, the woman, quit staring into the damn camera and breaking the fourth wall! You're creeping me out!
You, the hippy-looking dude, SHAVE!
The both of you - Just go away. Far, far away!

From living in SF for years (and knowing that the two are from Marin), I know this type of people.  Grew up wealthy, travelled the world (many times), went to feeder schools and then the best Ivy League universities, never worked a day in their lives, espouse liberal beliefs but mainly for show, totally sanctimonious, hang out in the trendiest places, dress in commoner drag but their commoner clothes are those of some hip, expensive designer etc.
 
If they weren't so young, I'd swear I've met them.

My husband really hates this commercial.  He starts screaming at the t.v. screen when it comes on.  I've managed to tune it out recently but from what I do remember about the commercial, it was horrible.

No one can sound good singing cheezy X mas songs. You should hear this nice french song they have and this version of all the single ladies that is not so bad.
Also, I like this better than that stupid Honda Holiday ad.
