McSweeney's: I Am The Actor Appearing In Nearly Every Commercial This Year

A funny piece from writer David Henne, for the TV commercial actors in your life.

As commercial actors, we alone possess the tools necessary to reach the highest levels of theatrical discipline.

And I have done the same, my good man… laughing at this. (via Turbo’s email forward)

I just met with folks from some cutting-edge companies and saw some of their inventions here in your National Robotics Engineering Center, but that’s not the only reason I’m here. You might not know this, but one of my responsibilities as commander in chief is to keep an eye on robots. And I’m pleased to report that the robots you manufacture here seem peaceful, at least for now.

The Wacky Packages Web Site! (dot com)

Baseball cards didn’t do it for me as a kid. There was an obligatory albeit brief comic book phase, but then I met MAD Magazine (my dad was a fan – he’d even kept a few of his teenage favorites).

Wacky Packages seemed like an extension of MAD… and they came with bubble gum.

Ah, creativity.

Perhaps there’s a manual for those awesome Swedish meatballs, too… with references to the equally awesome Meatballs.  (via)
