It's The Captain And Tennille! BIG JOKE! Ha ha!

And another annoying trend in commercials: soft AC music as comic relief.

I am sure that people are out there who don't appreciate songs like "Do That To Me One More Time" by the Captain and Tennille (with their participation yet!) or the late Minnie Riperton's "Loving You" as a punchline to a spot. The latter especially rankles because Riperton's been dead for quite some time now, and Riperton's daughter, "Saturday Night Live" actress Maya Rudolph, played the song in tribute to Mom on this past year's Mother's Day special.

I won't even mention the advertisers. Believe me, they don't need the publicity from this misguided attempt at humor.
