They’re not really in order, but the first post explains most of it, so if you read that, you should be good to go. I think I linked all posts, but if i missed one and you happen to come across it, feel free to let me know and i’ll add it^^
Ads and commercials have always been kind of dystopic in an uncanny kind of way but they're really freaking me out these days.
The better health commercials- "you can't escape your crappy job, try talking to us!"
That's not funny. Also isn't it sad that most people don't really seem to have close friendships anymore and that you're selling the friend experience more than a doctor one because you can't actually fix anything?
The progressive commercial- "you should go on vacation; what's a vacation? ... I don't know I've never been on one either"
That's not funny. That's fucking awful. Can't you see that's not a fucking joke??
The e-banking app- "how much did I spend on groceries this month? 500?? -hey dad can the guys stay for dinner? - NO!"
That's not funny! THATS NOT FUNNY! It's not funny that we're not "a village" anymore. That we're not "the land of plenty" any more, that we're not the "open table" of a country we claimed to be for so long! It's not funny it's not funny it's not funny!!!!
And the big reason it's not funny when corporations use this in advertisements is:
Gallows humor ain't fucking funny when it's coming from the guy wearing a black hood with his hand on a lever.
Like fuck you, your CEO makes millions of dollars and your spending more money than I'll ever see in my life to pay other corporations whose CEOs also make millions of dollars to write / produce / display ads fucking gloating about you and your cronies plunging the world into poverty to line the pockets of investors. If I see an ad doing that shit, your company is going straight on the "boycott if at all possible" list.
(and no, "Oh no, we had to lay off 3000 people because the public is too poor to buy our product anymore!" does not count as the poor widdle corpo also suffering from the ruined economy)
in my minecraft server there's a 1/5000 chance of a skeleton running across your screen at any given moment, and sometimes it really scares me
it must feel good as hell when you’re a horse and you take a big bite out of an apple like ttshoke
your command over onomatopoeia is unmatched bestie
the day that ppl finally understand and accept that there are more relationship dynamics in the world then just, “friends”, “romantic partners”, and “siblings” is the day i finally fucking rest.
brutalist candy cane
my mom, discussing furries with me: but I don’t get all the cats and dogs, why wouldn’t you want to be a sexy animal? like a kangaroo
me: mama what the hell does that mean
my mom: so muscular
Frisk is invited to Helinda’s dumb kid’s tea party, and poor naive Toriel insists the two troublemakers go and be nice and bring pie. It does not end well. This is something I attempted like a month ago and then trashed because I decided it was super dumb and no one would think it was funny. I never finished the second panel, but put enough effort into the rest that I might as well share it.
