Anybody know of a proper term for this kind of humor? Where it’s themed as advertising but subverts the purpose of advertising?
It reminds me of this: https://youtu.be/Xc_kFFmDZME
I think it’s my favorite kind of humor and I want more.

The film Click always makes me cry. You know, the comedy where Adam Sandler has a magic tv remote? I’m not gonna go into too much detail on which scene; spoiler tags don’t seem to work on my Lemmy reader, so I won’t know if I’m doing it right. I’m just going to say it’s the scene where he has an important message to deliver to his son. Gets me every time.
My wife and I have discussed contingency plans for what to do if there’s an afterlife. If one of us ends up in a good place and the other in a bad place, we’re both determined to do whatever is necessary to meet in ideally a middle place or whichever place will take both of us otherwise. If we become spirits that walk the earth unseen by mortals, we’ll meet in the desert where we had our wedding. If we are forced to reincarnate, we will attempt to bargain to reincarnate as the same species within a small enough geographical distance that we can likely meet again.
Smokeless tobacco placed under the lip for the nicotine to be absorbed by the gums. If you’re familiar with dipping tobacco (“dip”), it’s the same concept, but the tobacco is processed differently and is usually in little teabag-like pouches for convenience.
When I got my first Rubik’s cube, I never thought I’d ever be able to solve it in under a minute. I still can’t, because it turns like garbage, but I got a 30 second solve on my MoYu cube recently.
My understanding is that admins already have access to see who votes. This feature is to make then visible to everyone.
Yeah, but the LGBTQ people in those areas probably wouldn’t buy that stuff either for fear of being outed and ostracized.
I would think it’s because users only interact with their own instance. They would need to post it to their instance first before it can be forwarded to the appropriate community’s instance.
The main shift was that I now strongly prefer console/couch/tv gaming over PC/monitor/desk gaming.
This is the big one for me. My co-workers all wonder why I switched from pc to PlayStation, and I’m like, “dude, you just watched me troubleshoot 10 machines that failed our OS upgrade, and you think I want to come home and find that Windows update just broke my sound drivers again?”
It’s possible you’ve had it before and were simply asymptomatic the first time. I only knew I had it the first time because everyone in my house was miserably ill and I tested positive. Two years later, I tested positive again. This time, I had the worst headache of my life, and I was so exhausted that I felt like passing out every time I stood up. Only lasted a day or two, thankfully.
Thanks for sharing! My wife tried to describe the OP image as “advertising absurdism,” but I definitely think that label applies better to your link.
