Foghat came up recently, causing me to trip and fall down a faintly remembered rabbit hole

Anyone remember this ad?

Still think it's art, my own self
I mean, the 'Western' & 'Cheese' are obvious
but it still brings home the bacon >_>

Dayum!

I first read that as "Frogwarts" and immediately flashed on a "Hogwarts" HP parody (as in H.P. Lovecraft, not Harry)

I'd jump start Cthulu Harry Potter parody in a heartbeat

On a lighter, nostalgic note:

Recently seeing Kisses & Rolo's ads that take me back to the 70's

My Momma used to make these PB cookies with a Kiss in the middle - called them Hugs & Kisses

No idea what peeps are callin' them nowadays

Um...
YT
This one didn't have weird AI visuals, but...

Did someone actually name their company "His Cocks"?
(As pronounced by the voice over)

I mean... did they run it by their Mom first or jest... mail it off while drunk one night?

Jest a quick appreciation post for @humblebundle.com

Among the many ads I hate on YT, the HB ads... I don't hate

Not only do they have a quick-paced montage of the monthly games offerings, but also original music (afaik)

Key point, they are updated every month so they don't get too old

Early days yet, but liking it so far

I glanced at my phone and the time said 404

Then the battery died and the screen went blank

O.M.F.G!

I have never had a YT rec target my most inner heart so accurately @_@

"HuggedByGrandma"?

Subbed just for the name

Just watched MusicianPlayerAlan's reaction to Ren's Animal Flow...

And that Giger-esque guitar made me wish I knew guitar

Fer some reason it reminds me of Debra Harry sittin' on that throne of bones...
October 22, 2025 at 10:47 PM
Damn, this takes me back

The ceremonial separating of cardboard tokens, the intense consumption of small-typed rules, the slight sneer at cheep 6-sided dice as you pull out your personal, high-quality bones in their re-purposed Crown Royal bag

God, how I loved it!

I got into a pretty damn cool kickstarter for a newtonion space sim a long time ago

Been watching the relentless updates for years, but it's been hidden in the Skunkworks...

Literally "In The Black"

While still not available, it just dropped a demo on Steam

I've been clean & sober since my birthday 1994
I gave up smoking my full-bent briar pipe when I got engaged

Caffeine is my last remaining (non-videogame) addiction
I'm down to a single cup a day, drinking sparkling water instead

My last ambition: zero chemical dependence by New Years

Any of y'all every idly check Google Maps and discover something only a few blocks away that looks cool?

I can think of a few of my friends that would dig a casual afternoon here

Ok

YT's new thing to "piss me off because thug-ads weren't enough" is playing half of the ads in another language; mostly, but not always, Spanish

A couple times Chinese and (Tagalog?)

This just started last night :-P

Things that make you go "Hmmm..."

Am I the only one that's noticed Fry's animated supermarket ads - all of them - have been replaced with live action actors performing the exact same scenes?

Both versions are cute, but...

It feels like there's a story there, else why not *new* ads instead?
October 1, 2025 at 2:42 PM
For once, I'm *not* complaining about a YT ad

I find this 6-sec actress simply beautiful

She has no lines, simply looks up with a smile

I find myself hoping she is "discovered" and has a Cinderella career

Goodonya, Nationwide Vision
