After reviewing that mostly crummy film "Crazy People" in my mind whilst staring out the window today, I thought how awesome it woulda been to be an TV ad guy back in the 80s. (But not as Dudley Moore, I still want to be me.) Oh, the ridiculous products and toys that were available and NEEDED commercials.Scenario: It's just another Thursday on the job at Giant Fifites Maxximum Adver-TY-zing 2000 (heck yeah I own the place) and the latest-hottest-richest client wanting to throw money at me prepares to present their pitch to me.
80's Business Dude: "There are these cookies with faces on them and two kinds of creme inside and we have a dark colored cookie too and the faces are totally funny and you won't believe how good it tastes."
80's Me: Fuck yeah, get me some kids, these bodacious cookies you speak of, 5 canisters of laughing gas, and bang (I make the gun fingers motion x2) - "Let's shoot this fucker."
(one free thigh dance for the person who can place the quote I just used to emphasize my film directing prowess in this daydream. [See, I can use this particular quote and think of it as a quote in my head during 1980 whatever because I time traveled to this point in fake history.]{Actually that 's why I'm so successful as an ad guy, because I time traveled and used all the good ideas from the future, like Dip'n Dots and Squagels.}.)
Watch my commercial here. Then, if you're still around and still in control of you bodily functions, view it's less run, but equally effective sister commercial here.
CLUE: This was all just an excuse to post a link to two commercials, which I thought were ridiculous - even as a dumb kid.
