See? Comedy gold! It’s taken the advertising world a
surprisingly long time to make use of this unique dynamic – or at least for it
to register on my limited radar. After the click we can find out more about
this hilarious comedy-duo character-act.
I’ve written before about vehicles with faces, namely Thomas the Tank Engine vs Tugs. Tugs won although it never enjoyed the same
success. But the work of Clearwater Studios is not the only time people have put
faces on inanimate vehicles. One of my favourite Tex Avery cartoons (and there
are a few) is Little Johnny Jet which is only five minutes long:
Ain’t it weird? Mr and Mrs Plane are shagging like rabbits!
After the click let’s find out more about living planes, trains and cars – and also
about the world’s most annoying helicopter.
Warning: this blog post is all about flowers. Pretty,
harmless and aromatic flowers. It also involves half-naked men with their
bulging shoulders, glistening chests and abs so sculpted you could grind meat
on them:
Which demographic do you imagine this is aimed
at?
It’s a shame they all look quite goofy and awkward but just look
at the biceps of that one at the back, in the knee high shorts and the
wellington boots. And the guy on the right with the curly hair? With the slight
stubble and shoulders so broad he could be used as a raft? Wait, what was I
talking about? Something about flowers? Alright, fine, after the click let’s
start talking about flowers or whatever.
There are lots of forms of immortality. Humanity loves to
think and dream about it above all else. This might be motivated by fearing the
oblivion that awaits us when our bodies finally succumb to destruction or
inevitable entropy, but once you get past that there’s also the inconvenience. I want to see this crazy
ride through to the very end, whether that’s nuclear genocide next week or
transcending the material plane a billion years from now. I also want to see
everything that comes afterwards, like in that Future Is Wild
show. Indeed, being alive is like watching an incredible TV series with dozens
of characters that I really care about but knowing that I’ll probably die
before I find out how it all ends.
Naming no names…
Of course, for preference I’d rather witness all of human
history with a time machine. I could skip all the waiting around for the
future to happen and also witness the past too. But if my only option is the
slow way then I’ll take it. So let’s have a quick chat about the various slow ways,
after the click!
Lactose intolerance is when someone can’t properly digest
lactose, a sugar found in milk, because they lack a specific enzyme. I too lack
that enzyme, along with an increasingly large amount of the global population. So
you can imagine how much attention I’ve been paying to Cravendale milk,
produced by Arla Foods UK Ltd. Hint: It’s less than one. But it turns out I’ve
been missing out on a bit of a phenomenon. A phenomenon of random-ass and
adorable stuff.
For several years, Cravendale used a trio of Cow, Pirate and
Cyclist to promote their filthy white gold. But eventually the time came to
retire these strange stop-motion figurines, which was a sad day:
But don’t feel too sad, friends. After the click we can find
out about the Cravendale cats – everybody knows the internet loves cats!
I’d like to have a quick conversation about my favourite
superhero. I know what you’re thinking. ‘What, the fish guy? The blonde surf-douche
with the fruity sequined top? No way!’
Stop laughing! Look at the whales!
But hear me out. Don’t focus on his time with the super-friends.
Even Batman was a little bit crap once upon a time – remember the days when he
wore light grey and sky blue? Played by Adam West? The same is true of Aquaman.
You just need to appreciate the potential. You don’t even know his real name,
do you? You know Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent and maybe even the various names of Robin. Aquaman has two real names. His Atlantean name is Orin. His human name
is Arthur Curry, adopted son of a lighthouse keeper. It's all quite confusing.
Read my 100% convincing 6-point argument that proves Aquaman is awesome, right after the click!
