Unskippable ad The most blatantly obvious Amazon Prime ad I’ve ever seen right in the middle of my show

Some of them are hilarious. Bones did little car commercials sometimes, and many were dumb, but there was one where they stole a dead body and were like this car has lots of room for the body!

I vaguely recall one of the Bones car ads where they're geeking out over... like a rear-view parking camera? Like, oh, this is novel and neat. Something that wasn't terribly standard at the time, I think. If it wasn't for a specific product I could've seen it not being so obtrusive.

My favorite is Brennan getting really smug about having GPS, and bragging that it will get her somewhere an hour away in 30 minutes, and Angela being like “It’s a gps, not a time machine.”

I remember in that same episode one of the characters mentions the dead guy gave her a ride to work when her car was in the shop when a couple episodes earlier she had her own car commercial scene. I know cars need maintenance but I got the impression her car broke down.
