Alex is just this side of addicted to Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters. Not a single molecule in my body is sad about the lack of Paw Patrol in my house. Doesn't hurt that Mike Rowe is pretty easy on the eyes either.
The thing that is really cracking me up about this is his rection to the commercials. When he's watching Paw Patrol, obviously 99% of the commercials are for toys or sugar laden food or Chuck E. Cheese's. But when he's watching Discovery Channel? Slightly different marketing scheme.
I will tell you though, Alex is a marketer's dream. He endorses nearly every product he sees. A commercial for a new tool set? "Dad needs that; we should buy that for Dad." A quick 30 seconds about a spine surgery clinic? "Mom, how is your back feeling? Because if it still hurts, you should go to that place." Two days after at ad that feels like a documentary on bathtub refinishing? "Mom, I know how to fix this damaged spot on our tub. We can just get a new one that goes over this one! It'd be a lot easier than replacing this one."
I bet the people writing these ads didn't realize their target market should be children at the ripe old age of 5 years and 351 days.
