Emmys 2022 Viewers Had Plenty of Questions About That Mid-Show Kia Ad
Choosing Violence
I'm gonna key 6 Kia's for that one #Emmys2022

As it stands, people are a bit confused. Some chose some violent paths, but most just stuck with bewilderment. What is missed is that this is the new reality for an awards show in the era of streaming. Something needs to pay for these things.
How Long?
The #Emmys just put a 3 minute @Kia Telluride commercial in the middle of their programming, which is somehow more egregious than the 20 minute movie promo we got on #Bachelorette Men Tall All.

Did they seriously just make us sit through a Kia commercial as a part of the actual #Emmys2022 Awards? And then cut to a commercial break?
This is why I only watch these things for work.

Please Clap
That was a room full of people not sure if they were being asked to applaud a Kia ad. #Emmys

A minutes long car commercial during the Emmys telecast. Funny thing about Kia, I worked with people who had Kias and they constantly had to bring them in to get fixed. Memories. Is that what Kia hoped to get out of this spot? #Emmys

Big Money
I'm not 100% sure but I think Kia spent a gazillion dollars on the Emmys

Did anyone else just see a 4 minute long Kia ad that felt like an Adult Swim short or did I hallucinate that

Cousin Skeeter
Did not have “Dude from Cousin Skeeter appearing in an in-show Kia ad” on my #Emmys bingo card.

Sorry Kia I don’t need to see the kid from Cousin Skeeter do open scenes in a car

Did they just have a full blown advertisement for Kia at the Emmys?
I hate this world.

Time is Tight
Every person who gets played off the Emmys stage from here on out will know they lost precious seconds of their speech to a Kia commercial

Amazing that the Emmys are doing a sketch that’s just a Kia ad disguised as a Meisner exercise

Thanks, Kia, for explaining to me how genres are different. #Emmys
