Kick Ass Commercials

I've started doing research for my internet comedy writing/directing class (which justifies my internet addiction) and these are two examples of when commerce and comedy collide:



It looks like Billy Idol is the jingle singer - or is the singer just imitating Billy's signature scowl?



Just HOW stoned were the creators of this commercial AND the Quizno's execs who approved it?! The crazy disturbing vibrating eyes on the rat-like crooners are classic!

Now I'd buy that for a dollar!

Redneck Stonehenge

Sick of the new rich neighbors complainin' - Utah farmer mounts rusty demo derby cars in the dirt like totems creating his own Redneck Stonehenge.

Good for him!

Country life comes with all kinds of sounds and smells (animals - they're just like us - just without baths or toilets!).

So if you move out of the suburbs to get your acre and a half of land - you gotta share it with the locals. I'm always sad when I see the former farmland of my youth taken up by generic developments. So if it's too pungent for you - feel free to sell your land back to the farmers.

I'll always cherish watching tall rows of corn wave softly back and forth in the breeze while the sun sets on a hot Summer's night. Then the crickets' chorus rises as a starry sky spreads over the countryside. It beats meditation or yoga every time. Ain't nothin' like it - that's fo' sure!
