Commercial parodies

The other night, I was watching some TV…or really, I had the TV on in the background as white noise while I was cleaning.  Anyway, Law & Order went to a commercial break and this commercial came on.

At first, I thought it was a spoof of an infomercial.  You know how they make everything really ridiculous in order to make their product seem so much more useful?  They’re something like the beginning of this commercial.

I thought the Sensa commercial was actually one for bigspot.com where they poke fun of how ridiculous these infomercials are.  But…it wasn’t.  It’s a real commercial.  AND!  They say they’re “proud to announce the debut of our national commercial!”

That’s really the only emoticon that can describe the situation.

Obtw, the animation in the bigspot commercial really bothers me.

Conversations of koi fish (2)

Scene: A bear is knocked over into a koi pond by an aggravated Asian carp.

Koi #1: Do we eat it?
Koi #2: It’s an awfully big pellet…
Koi #3: Is it moving?
Koi #2: Does our food normally move?
Koi #3: The pellet is thrashing around.
Koi #2: Our food doesn’t normally thrash.
Koi #1: Should we eat it anyway?
Koi #3: I don’t know. Is it time for food?
Koi #1: I’m not sure. I didn’t see the girl who normally gives us our food.
Koi #3: Do you think it’s a trick?
Koi #2: Maybe it’s a cat!
Koi #3: Should we swim away?
Koi #2: Hey, I think it has claws!
Koi #1: Maybe it’s really a big pellet.
Koi #3: Our pellets don’t have claws.
Koi #2: Cats have claws! It’s a cat!
Koi #1: A really big cat?
Koi #2: It’s a cat! It’s a cat! It’s a cat! It’s a cat! It’s a cat! We’re doooooomed! [swims off]
Koi #1: I’m so confused.
[aggravated bear swims over to the koi and eats them (as revenge against the carp who knocked him over, you see)]
