This Week in WTF - Uh, Sprite, what are you trying to say?

Have you seen the Sprite commercial where 2 groups of guys are on either side of an outdoor basketball on a really hot day and they look menacingly at each other then run into each and become giant bursts of water? Uhh, okay. Wtf is that supposed to mean? If I drink a Sprite then aggressively chest bump my enemy on a hot day, we'll become aqua? Sounds...really really stupid.

I can't find a link yet, and maybe never will but I just wanted to say...

For No Good Reason - watch this commercial

what happened was some dumb mayor of a Georgia town said that if the PM Gordon Brown didn't like his DVDs then he, the mayor, wondered what Brown would think of a quart of the Bull and a pack of camels and then Wonkette picked it up and a whole bunch of people were like, "Oh, he didn't mean Red Bull, he meant this more racist drink, Schlitz Blue Bull" and then I googled that and then I found the video and, well, it's too awesomely bad not to share, but really it's for no good reason.

Hooray for run-on sentences!

Sign of Our Old Age Apocalypse


Here we are, watching 30 Rock and some commercial comes on. It features this Smashing Pumpkins song, "Today." I flash back to memories of Lollapalooza 94 and Rene remarks on how much she loves this song.

But guess what? It was featured in a commercial FOR VISA. Really Billy Corrigan? Really?

Nothing makes one feel old as all sh1t than when the songs of your youth appear in a commercial. The second worst is when you hear them in the grocery store.

Now, where's my cane? And I need a can of Ensure...
Oh, and now I'm hip again. Ray LaMontagne is going to be on SNL - Lewiston in the hizouse.

Really? You put a piece of plastic on the back crown of your head so you can look like Amy Winehouse?

Good Lord.

Favorite commercial

My favorite horrible commercial often airs on MSNBC, which I watch sometimes because of Countdown. I have always like Keith Olberman.

It's for a hearing amplifier called "Listen Up." In the commercial, you see a lady in a pew "use it to hear better at church." Then you see a different lady checking her mail and the voice-over says, "Or listen to what the neighbors are saying."

Awesome.Don't take my word for it. View it yourself:
