Now with exciting new leprosy!

In order to accurately depict these channels, I recorded random segments of them, and then, with the help of “the worst audience participant cirque du soleil ever had,” transcribed it. This transcribing required pausing, rewinding and replaying 3 to 4 second intervals of tape over and over again.
The Tom Cruise crap was relatively easy, cause it was just a mysterious graph being shown. But i’ve heard it enough times now that i’ve still got all those quotes memorized. This Shopping Channel one was different cause there’s more than just a graph on screen. So i had to make sketches for reference, and, in addition, the images had to line up with the dialogue. This required an additional 47 replays. For a measure of the toll this has taken on my sanity, i can tell you that the distaste i used to associate with this shirt has been replaced with ambivalence. Because, although I still hate it, I’ll also miss it a little.
A Sales Campaign

The art for today’s exciting new Random Commercial Parody was done by someone named ‘Arin,’ who is sometimes also known as ‘n10ae.’ And there’s even more Arin art to be found at this location.
And this is the only trace i could find of the original commercial that could explain all this:
One of the best commercials of all time was the one were two “fertile crescent” types accidently discovered the wonderful chocolate peanut butter mix and said, “Let’s go tell Noah.” Then it started to rain and they said, “Let’s wait till it stops raining.” Voiceover guy: “And so the world would have to wait for the great taste of Reese’s…”
Random Commercial Parody: Max Air survived round one. But now we’re up against Anomaly again! Didn’t do so well against it in the last battle.
UPDATE: it lost!
