It was less weird when he was human sized. But now he's literally a small rat.

If you've ever between to a chucky cheese you know the mascot is accurate.

I'm a fursuiter, furry, and an artist. the little character looks fun to draw, but I hate the new mascot. I prefer the old one. Though the creators of ratatouille made this character for them. And I love that movie. "

All of the Galaxy commercials. I hate that one where they're like WHY WOULD YOU WANT TWO PHONES?

Uh how about because i'm not footing the bill for my work phone and I don't want my employer as the person paying my phone bills, and I want my personal life to have some separation from job? Go gently caress yourselves with your massively oversized phones, you smug nerds.

The worst part about the Galaxy S phone ads is that horrible song they use in each one.

I don't know what it is but the song from this Prius commercial makes me want to channel Elvis and shoot the TV every time it comes on. Which is often.

I'm not sure who to blame for the commercialization of annoying indie quirk. Maybe the movie Juno. Or Zooey Deschanel.

Having the person pay for your personal phone (that doubles as a work phone) be an employer can lead to trouble down the road, like if they fire you or you leave or they go bankrupt or any other thing they can do and then suddenly that thing with all your personal conversations and information on it and such is tied to something that doesn't want anything to do with you anymore.

Now most of the time there probably won't be any trouble with this, but there's always the possibility that it can screw you over, like if your company is paying for the Blackberry that you use as a personal phone and then decide they don't like you doing that anymore, well since they're paying the bill for it and have it integrated into their business systems they can read all your texts and address book or remotely deactivate or wipe your device, etc.

"This Guy" is only good when Kelso uses it.

If I hear that phrase, I better be hearing some generic 70's music with Mila Kunis jumping around in front of flowery graphics following the scene.

But yeah, that commercial sucks.

I'm still bemused by their strategy of naming ALL their products "Galaxy". I mean, they've got "Galaxy S" and "Galaxy Tablet" and whatever so I guess you use that, but then what is the point?

It really strikes me as an idea somebody high up had and won't let go of even if it doesn't help them at all.

When I read your first line, I figured you meant Dr.Bob Kelso, Licensed Hetero. Then I was trying to think of times he said it, and couldn't come up with any...then I read the second line, and realized you were talking about the BAD Kelso.

It's a brand, some people ask for "the latest Galaxy phone" every two years whenever they upgrade.

I remember people being asked about phone operating systems and aside from Apple the most popular options were "Droid", "Android", and "HTC".

It actually isn't just the pure number of models or components. The SGS3 specifically (that one model) has been the #1 selling smartphone and the SGS4 is on pace to beat it by a decent margin.

When the Galaxies were first introduced in Korea each carrier got their own model to sell, SK Telecom got the Galaxy S, KT got the Galaxy K and LGU got the Galaxy U.

It was the same in the US.

T-Mobile had the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant
Verizon had the Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate
AT&T had the Samsung Galaxy S Captivate
Sprint has the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G

The Sprint one was the blacksheep of the family. In addition to being the only one that had "4G" (but since it was WiMAX, who cared?), it also had a slide-out keyboard, an LED flash, LED notification light, and front-camera.

Samsung's naming convention really got out of control with the Galaxy S2...Sprint's phone's full official name was, IIRC, the Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch on Sprint...or something.

For the past year and a half, I've been using a Samsung Captivate Glide, which is basically a Galaxy S 2 with 4G, a front camera, and a pull out keyboard (the latter feature being why I got it). Yeah, Samsung's ridiculous.

Haha this is awesome, in order to desexualize the song to make the commercial (slightly) less creepy, they have all male vocals instead of Salt N Pepa, in a track where it makes no sense for the vocalist to be male.

What the gently caress is that thing? Despite the name I'm fairly certain they wouldn't put an anthropomorphic dick on a TV commercial, so I guess it's supposed to be a kidney?

Nothing about that commercial is ok... except the service they're advertising, I guess? I couldn't tell because I was too busy being creeped out by walking kidneys named Willy Weewater assuming human form and stealing our women.

As someone with dialysis experience, I assure you there is no not-insane part of that ad. At-home dialysis usually doesn't resemble clinic dialysis in the least. Also, flash fact: most dialysis patients, due to all the weird crap it does to you, are incapable of "weeing water".
