I suspect your family may be unique. I recognize several of those behaviors in various family members.

Great commercials.

I'll be out somewhere and have the urge to say something, but most of the time I think of those commercials and stop myself. Most of the time, but not always.

We're the parents in those commercials. You're one generation (or more) off.

I am pretty sure he would reply that it is a joke, to just laugh or smile and be happy.

Default Hard To See

I also have a hard time seeing those behaviors in myself. That's why I need a spouse to point out how odd I and my family are. Ask your spouse and they will point out your odd behaviors.

Until I saw the commercials, I thought I was just being friendly!

I mute all TV commercials so I'm not sure whether or not any of these apply to me.

Agree we are none of these either.

For others who are embarrassed they are, Just because a commercial portrays the behavior as a negative doesn’t mean it is. Just be yourselves.
