B-Movie Becky at The Horror Effect mentioned a memory she had of a commercial, which triggered the same memory for me. That all led to this post. Enjoy!

What I read, write, watch, listen to or do between hot cups of the good stuff.

ReplyDeletemy favorite is the foreign dish TV one. Darth blowing on the dandylion is great. also the Nike one was hilarious. you got me on the last one. then i showed it to someone else and it got them too. it's important to pay those sort of things forward. tis the season.
Great ads.
