from the board that brought you "dear vevo, get ur corporate asses off of utube! thumbz up if u agree!"

I know I wasn't a part of that particular cabal. So I'm a sucker for gigantic corporations pillaging my youthful nostalgia? So what? Who cares?

Weeeeeeeee! Wee Wee Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

i like this commercial!

i definitely have serious nostalgia for Death Vader because its been like a good 30 years since i saw someone on TV reference him

its darth

Whiney do you seriously need to shit on absolutely everything?

It's in his dna.

Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader Death Vader

The one in the original post contains content from Sony Music Entertainment, and it's blocked in my country because of that. Not adorable at all :-(

Sorry! Didn't realize Sony was all hardcore about the Imperial March that is used in tons of stuff.

Whiney do you seriously need to shit on absolutely everything?

Whiney, you'd probably be more fun if you lived some place like North Carolina or Idaho, where your righteous fury could rest and not be provoked every five minutes like it surely is in Brooklyn.

deep thoughts

do they not have the internet in idaho, hahaha

that whiney post was so funny in the sense that his first post itt was like a kid throwing a handful of sand in your face for no reason and you going "don't do that again" and then he looks at you and smiles and throws two handfuls of sand in your face

lol!

Yeah, that pretty much sums up Whiney, a huge asshole for no apparent reason.

I mean, I understand its Whiney's whole persona at this point, what I don't get is why so many people think he's such a swell poster.

i meant the snorg post btw

i recommend that people stop being such butthurt regarding whineys posts

otm

Like I totally picture Whiney walking down a Brooklyn street and seeing a little kid smiling and eating an ice cream cone, then walking up and slapping it out of the kid's hand, shouting "oh yeah kid, I liked ice cream too once, before every fucking hipster in the world ruined it", and walking on his merry way, whistling, and deciding how to best torment deej on a goon thread when he makes it back home.

i recommend that people stop being such butthurt regarding whineys posts

Or Whiney could just stop being a needling asshole? This logic is kind of like, "people should stop being so butthurt about someone kicking their kittens".

it's like that

This is definitely a top 10 cutest commercial ever.

haaaaate that piggy commercial

Ha. Though let's face it the title and subject of this thread are like a batsignal for Whiney. "Hurry, whimsical-nostalgia-hater, we need you to come and shit on something."

Yeah, I guess I didn't take him into consideration when I was trying to be positive and excited about something. But I guess we should all bow down to the sweeping general bitterness and hatred.

I guess I'm just frustrated by this tone of "oh we should all just stop being offended by Whiney being an asshole". It just makes much more logical sense to say, "Whiney should stop trying to be such an asshole and shitting all over everything".

Anyway, I'm going to watch this commerical again, smile, dream of a world in which Whiney's over-inflated ego actually explodes and he becomes a tolerable human being once again.

jon, normally I think you are being a big wuss when you get upset about trolls/challenging opinions, but in this case I agree that WGW needs to get his dick out of his ass.

Whiney, much love but you are a sped.

I don't feel like I've gotten upset about "challenging opinions" ever. I'll cop to markers, Whiney, and Bill Magill pissing me off though.

and suzy.

nah it's real but idg what the big deal is or why you should be unhappy that other people like the same stuff you like

it's investing the reception & reputation of records against a measure of their quality, the kind of thing ppl do all the time here, prob coz there are so many crits

*investigating

lol is it so hard to believe that people with different aesthetic sensibilities than yours might find this one record more appealing and/or are not invested in a historical appreciation of music

no

dying

wld make that kessel run in record time

actually whoops i think i just did

honest question j/v/c: did you click "suggest ban"?

Nope. For two main reasons. First of all, as I explained before, I didn't want Whiney to be banned. He definitely can bring something worthwhile to the table when he's not deliberately trying to push buttons or get attention for himself and I hoped (rather stupidly, as it turns out) that maybe if more people actually called him out for it rather than silently hitting 'suggest ban', he might possibly tone down his antics. But, obviously, that was wrong of me to think, because its pretty apparent by the twitter feed he started just after his banning, that he feeds off this kind of negative attention. The other reason I didn't click it - he's been banned before and that didn't do a single thing to change his attitude.

Banned have two responses

1) Barstards, you banned me
or
2) lol they can't handle the TRUTH!!!

Wait, what's Whiney's new twitter feed?

http://twitter.com/GhostOfOldILX

GhostOfOldILX The Ghost Of Old ILX
Just had the email from Hasbro, they're definitely doing an ILx range of Shrinky Dinks. First design is gonna be either kkvgz or Kanye West.

I can't parse this, to be honest.

Whiney doesn't bother me that much. He's never approached s1ocki levels of shitting on threads. But it's all on a continuum. Annoyance at all levels.

lol

i voted 'no' btw

still not the most adorable ad ever, but it was a breath of fresh air compared to the other Super Bowl ads

pretty mediocre ad imo - this type of ad has existed before of the parent making the kid think he has powers. they just put a coat of star wars paint on it

It's much more precious than adorable. I reserve my adoration for wonderful, magical animals, such as pigs.

the ad is "cute" but doesn't really sell the product and is basically star wars dorkbait

Well, yeah, of course it is. But it was miles ahead of most of the other crap last night like flinging babies into glass walls and a woman knocking another woman unconscious by throwing a can of soda at her head. I used to be all r my d e at all those hand-wringing "why are Super Bowl ads so violent" commentaries that seemed to appear every year, but man, I don't know, I think they might have a fair point this year. They were ridiculous. Can't forget the one where the guy is encouraging a dog to smash into a glass door (yes, I know the tables get turned, but still) or the FOX race car one with the ferris wheel going on a rampage.

the look on the dad's face is what makes this

still:

when a thread titled: "Is this the most adorable commercial ever?" gets no snark it is time to leave ilx/the internet/the planet.

is a truth bomb

if you ask for opinions, you gotta take what comes with a little grace

I'm a little confused as to why I have to keep explaining this, but my tirade against Whiney was a reaction to his general approach as of late and this thread just happened to be where I put it. To clear it up, hopefully for the final time, I was not butthurt by Whiney or anyone else hating this commercial and I made this title 100% on purpose and with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

he's gone now. the healing can begin. it's gonna be ok.

I don't know you are just purposefully trying to troll me itt or what, but trying to clear up some misconception /= still butthurt about whiney.

i was just joking around.

and nothing of value was lost

Love the roomba shot.

lol, love the ending in that one with the parents bowing down

This commercial is much better, and has more of whatever made the original Star Wars magic, than anything in the prequels.

MEESA MEESA!
