<p>Sup Mr. Losers, this is Mr. Football, and I&#8217;am going open a can of whoop-ass on you&#8217;re tooosh, using yo&#8217;ure ass as the can opening, you little wimps.</p>
<p>Now, many dudes like myself like checkin&#8217; phacebook for status feeds, live updates, and creeping a lil sneak peeak at and up the cheerleader squads&#8217; mini-skirts. I&#8217;m all like, &#8220;Pull your minis up.&#8221; &#8220;Babe, come&#8217;on, pull that mini up for Mr. Football.&#8221; Then I&#8217;m like, &#8220;I swear, babers, I&#8217;m Mr. Football, but my middle name is Mr. Sincere.&#8221;</p>
<p>Albeit, this wimp makes me POed: I mean, this wimp scores the Touch Down on his first date, but totally biffs on the xtra point. He and his namby-pamby car have some stupid facebook super computer installed and that just reminds me of the damn contemplative endings of Doogie Howser MD., when he writes in that freakin&#8217; computer journal. That is some lame, I WANT SURGE.</p>
<p>Real men check there Facebook status for hot chicks, but real men wait until after practice.</p>
<p><strong>Rating:</strong> 30 seconds of wimp stew.</p>

<p><strong>by kim-jun il-lation</strong></p>
<p>Now we don&#8217;t allow corn syrup in my country, call forth malaise, for very much that the matter, but if we did, we would not play this commercial, because we don&#8217;t have a free-circuit media in the DPRK. My news is permitted, whilst news that addresses the actuality realities of the matters is not allowed; therefore, DPRK not much different than your country, the United States of America. North Korea does not have balloon baby news story, and lady who throw acid on her own face new story, but hey, we are just like you, except me not allowed to use internet, too unpredictable.</p>
<p>Fruit punch: never had the drink, but very much sound like one of those &#8220;just for kids&#8221; things. I don&#8217;t know what to do sometimes, so I try new things, much like other leaders of countries, we don&#8217;t allow micdonnald&#8217;s in my country, but DPRK does not care, because micdonnald&#8217;s just like hy-fruit-tose corn syrup: it make whey the options of 3 american size olypic swimming pools.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">ILLATIONS:</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I like how Amy Poehler star in the commercial, she is a good actress.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">It is tough stuff to win a gold medal.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">The next commercial I review is for &#8220;LA Lights.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Rating:</strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">30 Seconds of Hell</span>.</p>

<p>With this commercial, 30 Seconds of Hell kick-starts our continuing &#8220;Tall as a Damn Mountain&#8221; series, wherein we cull commercials with the tallest people in all the land.</p>
<p><a href="http://30secondsofhell.com/wp-content/uploads/gheorghe-muresan-my-giant.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-489" title="gheorghe-muresan-my-giant" src="http://30secondsofhell.com/wp-content/uploads/gheorghe-muresan-my-giant.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="401" /></a>Part one of our series features another clever commercial from ESPN&#8217;s Sportscenter. This commercial features former-NBA Allstar, Gheorghe Muresan, a 7&#8242; 7&#8221; center who played for the Washington Bullets in the &#8217;90s. He is really tall. Gheorghe is such an erudite — a damn tall erudite — that he starred in <em><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120765/" target="_blank">My Giant</a></em> (1998) with co-star, Billy Crystal.</p>
<p>In a white-collar office setting, we observe colossal hulking Gheorghe Muresan as dances. This may sound like a TALL TALE; however, this did happen, this really happened, in real life, this is not a tall tale, it&#8217;s tall entertainment, a tall pleasure every dance-step of the way.</p>
<p>I like to think of the creative board meetings, the pre-productions phases of this project that prefaced. I imagine the creative team being like, &#8220;Hey, what we got, whose got a pitch, hurry up, I&#8217;m not listening.&#8221; Soon after, someone meek stands up and says, &#8220;I colored-penciled storyboards with Gheorghe Muresan dancing in the office.&#8221; The creative director, whilst smoking a cigar, turns and says, &#8220;Colored pencil? Oh brother, not more colored pencils. Kid, are you shitting me?&#8221; The meek man replies, &#8220;24 piece Crayola. Sharpened as a Native American arrow head.&#8221; The cigar-ed boss replies, &#8220;Kid, you&#8217;re promoted, I&#8217;m so sick of all these schmucks drawing with those garbage brands Rose Art and Color Busters.&#8221; Cigar boss turns to Belinda, the secretary, &#8220;Get Gheorghe Muresan&#8217;s agent on the phone, pronto, or YOU&#8217;RE FIRED.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before I wrote this digressing review, I thought of transcribing the entire commercial — then I realized that would be a waste of time, for I&#8217;m watching CNBC right now, and American Greed is on. My point is this: take your money out of banks and stuff it under your mattress, pay attention to the simple dialogue in this commercial, and enjoy yourself whilst Gheorghe Muresan dances.</p>
<p>After writing this, I now realize that most of Gheorghe&#8217;s fame and success in the public eye has focused only on his height, and despite the title of this post, this post is about the joy Gheorghe spreads. It&#8217;s not all about his height, it&#8217;s about what&#8217;s inside of his tall body, and inside of his tall body is a big, warm heart.</p>

<p>Like, um, like, somebody call the dork police, and the fashion police, because this spot is so totally 30 seconds of dork-alert-5000.</p>
<p>This commercial is a recipe for a dork-disaster: 1) the commercial is driven by a kids&#8217; bop rendition of the &#8220;Bly Gotta Feelin&#8217; kick-start-party-song by the Black Eyed Peas. 2) the opening line of the song is, “Didn&#8217;t know, couldn&#8217;t see, what was around the corner for me. Let&#8217;s go!” 3) the kids bop vocalist is dressed in autotune, and this is a textbook example of a creative team shamelessly jumping on the ephemeral autotune bandwagon.</p>
<p>4) The commercial flagrantly targets caricatured demographics — only those who can afford a weber, of course — which, in this case, is the widowed, prim and proper, affluent grey panther; the wholesome African-American male who lives in the suburbs and is happy; the lonesome librarian who lives by herself and has fun by herself; and the jolly bearded gas station attendant (he&#8217;s the lil shocker). This blogger will omit the rest of the dorks, because I respect you, and because this dork-ball video-mash subsequently welters into an unsightly meatball — hot and ready to be charred on the ole&#8217; web grill.</p>
<p>However, I do appreciate the female backing vocals, 0:26 in, when we hear a passionate, &#8220;Come on — yeah!&#8221;</p>

<p>This lost gem from 1994 is one of those &#8220;is this a real product?&#8221; commercials that makes you wonder how well they thought the product&#8217;s name through.  I realize that 1994 was over 15 years ago, but I&#8217;m pretty sure the term &#8220;boner,&#8221; has been used as slang for an erect penis since at least the mid &#8217;80s.  How could the Wunder Boner&#8217;s creator have not realized this?  Or maybe it&#8217;s possible that they purposely chose such a silly name as a way to use humor to sell their product.</p>
<p>The ad starts with a simple premise;  three friends fishing on a warm summer&#8217;s day.  One friend seems to be humoring the other two by continuing to hang out with them after becoming a successful businessman while they work to get their high-school equivalency.  The two &#8220;good-ol&#8217; boys,&#8221; are suddenly shocked when their pretentious asshole of a friend willingly offers to clean the day&#8217;s catch.  This turns into another opportunity for him to condescendingly teach his less fortunate friends something new.  Thus, the unveiling of the &#8216;Wunder Boner.&#8221;</p>
<p>As the product is gruesomely demonstrated, one can&#8217;t help but think of the word, &#8220;Fatality!&#8221; from the popular Mortal Kombat video-game series.  One friend (whose secret acting weapon is simply tipping his University of Michigan baseball cap before speaking) exclaims &#8220;the Wunder Boner!&#8221; The other, more portly gentlemen, jokes &#8220;my wife would like that.&#8221;  It&#8217;s statements like this which make me think more and more, that whoever wrote the script for this commercial was having a lil&#8217; bit o&#8217; fun with it.  The ad ends with the three friends sitting around a campfire, merrily feasting on their perfectly de-boned fish.  All parties agree, &#8220;the Wunder Boner is a winner.&#8221;</p>
