What's better than Bubble Yum? Making fun of a Bubble Yum commercial! (Bubble Gum Weekend)

Why is a political site talking about BUBBLE GUM???

Because it fucking bips. That's why.

You'd think I'd remember a Bubble Yum commersh from 1980. Except for those weeks around 1981 when our TV broke, my family and I peeped much of the small screen in the early '80s.

We even devised an informal ranking of the stupidest commercials. I remember a Silkience shampoo spot being #1, while a Diet Pepsi commersh was a close second.

To be fair, most commercials for any product were mighty stupid. Stupidity sells. So the ad agencies were actually geniuses.

One could also say that this Bubble Yum ad from 1980 slides down a similar knoll of silliness:

Oddly, I don't remember that commersh. But it evokes comparisons to segments in educational shows they made us watch in middle school which everyone ridiculed.

"Now yummier"? If someone buyed Bubble Yum after seeing this ad, and they thought it sucked, could they sue Bubble Yum for false advertising?

Also, the factory in this ad looks a bit like the Foundry game in Halo.

But people in the commersh bubbled.
