Honk If You Love...2.0

This has just got to be my favourite TV commercial these days.



If only life came with warnings, eh?

Hey Dufus! Ha! I saw this one a few times during the NFL coverage on Sunday night. The tongue kiss was priceless! Indigo

Indigo this ad kills me. Although the first time I saw it I had the sound down and thought the honking was coming from outside. Glad I paid attention the second time around.

Yeah, my life would have been very different if there were warning "beeps" every time I'm doing or about to do something stupid. I probably wouldn't have 15 million kids. Or Jepeto.

Amazing commercial. I sooo need that.
If I had that horn warning i wouldn't have bought that crappy Nissan.
I've never seen this one, but, of course, don't see much TV out here in the sticks. ;) But it's a good 'un. :)

You really should look into cable, Bryan.

I'd choose Jepeto. Fewer to feed.

Ha, Ha. Good one.

My 11-year old Altima needs replacing. THIS has given me the impetus I needed to run over to test drive the new model.

Did your car honk to warn you it was time to replace it?
Cheryl said…
No, it went cha-ching one time too many.

Oh, that's so sad. But at least it's still making noises and hash;t stopped running altogether.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows...

It's For You

I'm going to show my age here - and at my age be thankful that's all I'm going to show - but I can recall growing up as a kid in Toronto and we had one telephone in the house. It was a wall-mounted, black rotary-dial affair behind the door in our kitchen. If you stretched the cord you could actually sit down at the kitchen table while you talked on the phone. This was in the mid-50s, hardly on the heels of the device's invention, nevertheless - having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 - it was still in it's formative years. Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
