Remember That Old Commercial?

I measure my life in reflecting on moments I saw on television. Pretty awesome way to live. Though I'm glad this classic Folger's commercial still gets played.



This just reminded me of that Fruity Pebbles christmas commercial. Please watch this and we will discuss.



So Barney decides to dress up as Santa to try to get some Fruity Pebbles...but the real Santa has already shown up in Bedrock and Fred gave him a bowl. Not only is Barney impersonating Santa on Christmas Eve (which by the way is a big fucking deal when you're doing this to actively deceive your close friend just so you can eat his food), but Barney is too late and Santa already has his food...yet Barney still gets indignant!

Note Fred's disgust as he says, "YOUR PEBBLES?!?" Yet Santa quickly resolves this tense situation by remind him that, "Tis the season to be sharing Fred." Sorry but no. Breaking and entering, trying to deceive a friend, treating Santa like shit, and finally getting to eat Fred's pebbles anyways?! FUCK YOU BARNEY.

  1. What is up with the motif of stealing in kid's cereal commercials? Trix, Fruity Pebbles, Lucky Charms... why are all cereal companies obsessed with the cool crime of robbery?
