| __________________________________________ [Oct 26,2007 1:38pm - Dwellingsickness ""] So I've just become aware of a commercial spot epic spanning no less than 9 episodes that features Snickers (the KFC Famous Bowl of candy bars) in the hands of various “feasters” from the past. The premise: Snickers is such a feast that Norse Warriors will flee Valhalla; Pilgrims will abandon the Thanksgiving table; Caesar will leave a Greco-Roman wrestling match; and Native Americans will drop ritual tribal dances just to get their hands on one. Each of the episodes (which are available on the tragedy that is YouTube) star the anachronistic comic quartet having wacky interactions as they travel through modern America in a beat-up sedan. To be honest, I can't tell whether the characters have purportedly traveled through time, or they were simply kidnapped (frat-boy style) from strange historical refuges to take part in the feast. In the most recent episode, a BP gas station has run out of regular Snickers. Needless to say, the viking is initially furious (after all, he did leave an eternal land of feasting for this shit). But upon learning that the new dark chocolate variety of Snickers is available, he is thrilled. He expresses both his rage and jubilee by tossing adjacent trashcans at a nearby vehicle. I theorize that the episodes are all building to a Halloween climax, wherein we learn the truth of the characters' mysterious origins. Perhaps they'll take off their costumes to be revealed for the stoners that they really are. Or maybe, one by one, they’ll be zapped out of the car back to their own time (which is how I hope it turns out). But what if, despite the promise sworn one night at a Motel 8, the viking sneaks a Snickers back through time to his homeland? I can see it now… The viking brings the Snickers to a druid who divines the recipe and recreates Snickers in a cauldron. The cauldron, deemed dangerous to Iceland, is entrusted to the viking ships sent under Leif Erikson to explore America. The American settlers overindulge; lacking proper dental hygiene, they quickly lose their teeth. They can no longer tear into the juicy roasts and pig legs that have saturated their diet. They can't eat the buffalo and corncobs so popular among the natives. And that's why the viking settlement in America vanishes circa 1000 AD. To cope with the wait, I guess I'll have to go out and try me a dark chocolate Snickers. Somehow I just can't imagine the dark chocolate mattering much, what with all that nougat and caramel and peanuts. But then, I'm no historian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt9xrsRyvOk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dJXVDnYz1U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJph4SL3ttM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niusMHdZZDI&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iqvPVLQm70&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKQ-Nfa8rww http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78U7CEB1FPE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvCe4x1xnhY&NR=1 |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 26,2007 2:50pm - dreadkill ""] it doesn't even matter to me that it's a viking. the fact that a guy is yelling and throwing a rubbish barrel at a car is hilarious. |

Only slightly sexier while doing just as much drugs, booze and general self destruction. |

Picture it, he's yelling and screaming off a balcony with Vagner playing on a Victrola in the background or some shit, and then drops what he's doing and scurries off to enjoy a tasty Snickers with Caesar. And then rides around with the other douchebags having adventures and shit. Like "Easy Rider", but with a pilgrim and Henry VIII and a Viking and Hitler. Pure comedy gold. |
