In re: a certain commercial

Mike: Jack, I got a good one for you. What do you think of when I say "water balloons"?
Jack: Parking lot vasectomy!

(The video’s not letting me embed it, so here’s the link.)

Oh, The Instigators. The new season starts tonight, and I am way more excited than I should be about the prospect of watching Jack Edwards and Mike Milbury fight with each other while Andy Brickley plays moderator (which is ostensibly Mike’s role on the program).

This commercial is amusing, not just because Jack gets nailed in the huevos with a water balloon, but because — aside from the “Kick Me” sign Mike puts on his back — Brick escapes abuse. That must’ve been Jack’s idea.

LOONEY TUNES MARATHON ON CARTOON NETWORK

“WHAT’S OPERA, DOC?” IS ON TONIGHT

LIFE: MADE

(AND THAT’S “LOONEY,” NOT “LONEY,” OLIVIA)

When I was telling Olivia about this episode, I specifically mentioned this scene.

Amanda: Cutter was a total BAMF
Olivia: oh mannn
Olivia: i love BAMF cutter
Amanda: I love all Cutter
Amanda: There is a scene where he has messed-up hair and is wearing a T-shirt
Olivia: um
Olivia: what
Amanda: Oh yes
Olivia: ohhhhh my goodness

You’re welcome.

Alana De La Garza and Linus Roache discuss Law & Order, playing Scrabble with Jeremy Sisto, the time Linus was arrested for being drunk in public, the man/myth/legend known as Sam Waterston, and some other stuff.

This is the introduction to a ridiculous TV show I watch every week called La Familia P.Luche. It’s on before Sábado Gigante, so rest assured, I’m receiving maximum cerebral stimulation on Saturday nights.

The theme song is annoying and catchy and features the best line ever written in a television theme song (“Eres un insecto y hueles mal”) and IT WAS STUCK IN MY HEAD ALL DAY.

Familia peluche somos
¡Toda la familia muy unida está!
Familia peluches todos
Veremos cuanto tiempo van a soportar

… It’s still in my head. Oh, no.

This is what our moon would look like if it were as close to us as Phobos is to Mars.

(My DVD drive works, for now, so I’m watching The Universe at school while I take notes out of my Spanish book.)

Elizabeth Montgomery and Vin Scully were hosts for the ABC Network’s coverage of the 1967 Tournament of Roses Parade on January 2, 1967. In this extremely RARE promo, Liz pops Vin into the living room to request him to co-host.

Officially the best thing I have ever seen. “Liz, that was the best drive I’ve had all day! Now I’ll never know how far I hit it!” Oh, Vin.
