Netflix Puts Spoof Ads About Marijuana in Its New Pot-Themed Sitcom

Disjointed uses mostly fake brands to satirize various commercial genres

Netflix famously doesn’t run ads during its shows, but the streaming service is making an exception for Disjointed, its new comedy about marijuana that’s filled with spoof pot-themed spots for mostly fake brands.

The sitcom, which debuted on Netflix on Friday, stars Kathy Bates as a woman who runs a cannabis dispensary, where she and her employees are perpetually high. Almost all of Disjointed’s first 10 episodes include at least one spoof ad, which send up a variety of popular commercial genres.
