How to look ridiculous without even bubbling (Bubble Gum Weekend)

Why not celebrate the Fourth of July with something as patriotic as gum? It's going to rain all day like it does every Fourth of July, so why not?

Gum may be cool, but gum commercials are a whole new world just waiting to be poked fun at. And Trident is known for some of the silliest ads of all.

A perfect example is this 1986 commersh:

Nobody bubbles in that commersh, yet each and every person in it manages to look totally ridiculous.

They look completely plumb stupid.

The first 2 chewers literally throw the piece of gum in their mouths like a suspect on 'Cops' trying to hide drugs.

The third chewer (the bespectacled gent) looks like he's about to jump out of the screen and attack you. I guess he's going to slime you with Trident or something.

Gum. The energy source of the new millennium.
