Especially because it's like they
intended a small delay at the beginning that makes you turn up your speakers because you think there should be audio, then "I SHIPPED MY PANTS"...
It gets me every time.
 
I am not impressed, substitute any original idea with faux foul language, welcome to the continuing degradation of American culture..

I'm debating on writing out a serious reply, but I'm not sure. My instinct tells me to just laugh at what you posted and move on to something more entertaining.

But hey, let's go with it and see what happens, shall we?

As to your position of the lacking cultural importance I say:
First, its hardly an American only thing. Second, American culture? JHumeC, its a fucking advertisement.

Oh, do please forgive me, I rather hope I didn't burn your ears with such crass language. But yes, by all means they should have leveraged Shakespeare and perhaps Bach? I'll admit I don't know enough about classical musicians to offer up much for suggestions on what composer's music would be best suited for such a high minded concept to tell people about getting a slight discount on a gallon of refined pressurized dead organisms. Oh wait, using Shakespeare and Bach would have been derivative, so we need something original. Also, well they weren't American, and we can't have non-American stuff in our American culture now, can we? Hmm, maybe they should make a comparison to how shopping at their stores so you can get a discount on other goods is like how the "Native" Americans used all parts of the animals they killed?

I do wish that your absurd pontification was to incite mirth at such frivolous claims and to bring merriment to others, and as such forgive my ribald response.

Mozart was known to be quite bawdy. Shakespeare was no prude. A little adult oriented wordplay used to be considered entertaining. Puritanical Americans just don't know how to let go and have a little fun. They're so worried about their eternal soul that they forget to enjoy life right now.

OK, the "American culture" was over the top, so I'll re-state it this way, they took the "lowest common denominator" route, " oh look!,he said ass in the ad!" instead of some original idea.
 
I had seen the shipping commercial before but never understood the joke until after seeing this big gas one. I'm not sure how I missed that. :hmm:
