Ahahaha, I have to know the context behind that "nailing a window" gif. There's got to be a better way!

Okay, ignore the whole "hammering a window" thing and watch the nail. Not only does the person pull the nail away before they hammer, the nail stretches as they do so. Where is the extra nail coming from, what is happening in any aspect here.

I think the nail isn't being pulled away at first but pivoted sideways while still set against the window, which in combination with the sudden jerking motion afterwards is causing a perspective illusion of it appearing to be stretched.

Also my dad used to have that exact same type of hammer with the brown banded handle, good thing we never tried driving nails through glass!

I swear I've seen this in a Steven Segal movie before.

Also I wish I could find this commercial I saw last week about some kind of velcro belt thing for people who just can't figure out how loving pockets work, it was utterly ludicrous but at the same time I couldn't help but think "HAH! Star Trek was right!!!"

The idea is that you laugh at the commercial, which makes a positive association in your brain with the product, then the next time you see one, your brain goes "Hey, I like that product, I'll buy one!" and you never put 2 and 2 together as to the reason.

It works amazingly well, and anyone who claims "Oh, ads don't affect me" is full of bullshit.

Yeah we're all aware of the theory, nobody saw the Snickers commercial with the football player who thought he was Batman and went "hurk is this supposed to make me think Snickers causes brain damage??" These don't work because they're loving retarded.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds this strange. You just shouldn't have to tell people your food is clean. When I go in, I expect it to already be that way.

It's like running a whole campaign to advertise that your food is edible. Why do that? It's suspicious, not reassuring.

Our food's so clean it still has that crisp antiseptic aroma!

There's now an entire generation, arguably two, that have no frame of reference for video games that sounded like that, though.

There are people in their twenties that are younger than the PS1 and N64, for chrissake. :corsair:

The reference itself has become self-perpetuating, like making the hand-crank motion for filming something. That was old technology when our grandparents were in high school.

The name "Funderdome" implies that something fun would be transpiring, but instead of being "FUN-derdome" it's "FUND-erdome" which is just a shittier version of Shark Tank that's not fun at all!

Exactly! When I first heard the name I thought was some kind of lighthearted American Gladiators resurgence, possibly involving kids with copious amounts of nerf padding. But instead it's a lame-rear end game show-ification of Shark Tank, seriously weak.

They have to be all pretentious like that. How else do you sell a loving fragrance or some high end tequila or something?

“It tastes/smells better”?

So basically they try to prey on rich people (or wannabe rich people) that think pretentious and vague=exclusive and elite.

The Lacome ads with Julia Roberts are so supercilious they loop back around to satire.
