Look, I know we’ve all seen the Zelda rap, but on rewatching it, I think there’s funnier stuff here than the song itself: First, you have the nerd kid using his games and cool toys to keep the cool friend around. Sad, yet realistic. Then you’ve got the voice saying “Your parents help you hook it up!” It’s bad enough that they assume kids can’t hook up an NES, but the voice used seems to be using of the condescending uncle sort of tone. Hey, I can do this shit, DAD!

Zelda Rap. Wiki-wiki-wik!
Tuesday, January 6th, 2009It’s a cereal…Wow!
Monday, August 4th, 2008So this recent Cracked article linked to a an ad for a cereal I had long forgotten: Nerds! That’s right, they even come with a box of Nerds candy, so get your mom to buy some today. You know. For the candy!
But that only serves as a reminder for another cereal that should not be a cereal. One which also has two “different” flavors in one box. Yep, Nintendo. It’s for breakfast now.
And of course, from even earlier we have Pac-man, who invaded every possible niche in the merchandising ecosystem. Check out those clothes! Check out those dance moves!
