Less of a commercial than a vision of how the world should be.



And then there's this weird vision of how that world shouldn't be:

The essence of comedy.

The only purer thing in comedy is Lou Pinella.

Tough to beat this one. Three minute commercials in Japan?


Yeah I didn't even know I had a thing for hot Asian women with open batting stances.

The thing that gets it is the perfect transformation. They go from prim, mousy wage-earners trying to keep their heads down and not get noticed, and then they put on a game face, stare down the pitcher without remorse, and take a merciless cut, violently turning the pitcher's best offering into an arching speck in the sky. Then they pause just a beat before running, in order to inhale all the dejection pouring out of the pitcher.

These ads really help to illustrate how the Mets let the Mr Met brand deteriorate over the years. He used to stand for a certain mischief, he was an oddball. Today he has no personality--just dances with Ms Met-- and they have to bring in Grimace for the weird.

So that's what ended Gentry's career so young!!





The Kiner/Wheaties commercial made me think about Wheaties for the first time in a long time.

Used to have them on at least an occasional basis, but it's probably been two decades since I had them at all.
