The Moon Monster posted:A pet can be a good gift depending on the situation, but it's pretty lovely to spring an animal on someone who may or may not want it. My sister got a god from her birthday from her college roommate last June. Now it's become an obstacle in her post-college planning. Oh well I don't think giving a pet to an adult or someone getting ready to move to or in college. Put giving a pet to kids is fine.

D'oh. I'm not sure why I typed "god" given the animal in question is a cat. It's a really sweet cat too, but I can't take it and my parents won't so it's a difficult situation.

Edit: Not saying you're one of them.

Some year during the holiday season, Hershey is going to run an updated 'Kisses-as-Bells Play We Wish You a Merry Christmas' commercial instead of the one they've been running since the early 1990's. 2011 is not that year.

That commercial, the Folders commercial with the guy waking up the family with coffee that's ran since the 80s, the Corona 'Christmas palm tree' of similar vintage and Barney stealing Fruity Pebbles commercials of 1987 will run forever. They are like the modern day yule log footage.

Expect those to get a massive update though once Seth Macfarland's new Flinstones commercial hits the air.

I believe the Hershey's Kisses commercial is at least from somewhere between 1987-89, I remember seeing it for at least a year or two as a kid pre-1990. I haven't seen the Fruity Pebbles commercial in a few years, do they still show that one? Also don't forget the "He does exist! / They do exist!" M&Ms commercial, which while not as old as the others, still is of mid-early 90s vintage I believe. raditts fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Nov 6, 2011 |

I know they at least updated it not that long ago so that it was George Clooney doing the voiceover.

Electric Bugaloo posted:What's really funny about that is that "This Is Our Country," like John Mellencamp, is politically left wing- and very openly and explicitly so. I like to imagine the thousands of proud Hannity-watching 'Murricans that have nodded their heads with pride to a Silverado commercial before googling the song and making GBS threads themselves at its lyrics about gay rights, intelligent design, and anti-intellectualism. I think the worst offender when it comes to misusing songs because parts of them sound ultra-patriotic is right wing radio host Sean Hannity. What does this proponent of the men's rights movement and enemy of feminism use as his show opener? Independence Day by Martina McBride. Even if you hate country music (which I do most of the time) this song and the music video is a goddamn work of art, and it makes me cringe when the sanitized bit comes on before his show. You see, my boyfriend seems to like to send his blood pressure through the roof as he listens to/yells at talk radio.

The quintessential "used until the end of time" commercial for me will be that commercial for central air conditioning from Sears that seemingly has aired every summer since 1993. It may have been replaced, but it felt like it would never die.

If you're in an area lucky enough to have Quik Trip gas stations, you're also unlucky enough to have seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPdpoydVaQQ Gotta get the kids to the uh uh soccah field. Ironic white rap needed to die off about 5 seconds after the first showing of office space let out and the 1st shithead viewer imitated Michael Bolton.

The part that irks me so much about it is there's no rhyme, rhythm, or melody involved. It's not a jingle. It's just some douche sing-talking random words. And people on Youtube love it, of COURSE. gently caress.
