Notice how some companies are running last year's commercials? I've noticed several like Wells Fargo stagecoach one and Fred Meyers dinner one.

The M&M's one where the candies meet Santa, has been used for the past 4 or 5 years, at least.

@traveler

So what? I don't believe commercials have an expiration date, and they're expensive to make. Why does it even matter?

(I rarely watch anything in real time, just record shows and then Fast Forward through all commercials. If you are honestly sitting through scads of commercials, you're wasting a LOT of time in your life.)

IMO, the ONLY commercials that should change yearly are the super bowl commercials .... if it's still relevant, why do new ones need to be filmed?

Wow, thanks for the lecture on my observation. A bit of holiday stress?
