Not exactly trying to identify, but trying to locate. I saw these on the parental favoritism trope page. They are described as ads.
" A DVR ad has it to where a mother and father openly admit in front of their son that their daughter is their favorite child without a hint of remorse. They then casually suggest they just give him the last video slot simply because "that's the best he is going to get". Another commercial for Guinness uses the same premise; two parents tell their adult son he's their least favorite child, to the point that he's not only under his siblings, but also the dog and their fine china. But they buy him a case of Guinness to make up for it."
Please help, thanks!
