Tim riffs on the parade of degrading products (dick sprays, CBD, online therapy) sponsoring the show and speculates about how pathetic the ad targeting implies the audience is.
- Tim marvels at the parade of spray-on products and erectile dysfunction aids advertised on the show, expressing disbelief that they can't secure mainstream advertisers like Blue Apron or QuickBooks.
- What do the advertisers think this audience is — what demographic profile are they targeting with these products?
- Tim catalogs the assumed pathologies: the audience is anxious, suicidal, housebound, unable to afford in-person therapy, and sexually dysfunctional.
- The ad strategy emerges as a cynical feedback loop: people need websites because they have nothing else going on, not because they actually need websites.
- He delivers the delay spray promo code mid-rant, segueing from mockery of his own ads directly into reading them.
