Flotsam & Jetsam

YouTube Clip Of The Day

Okay, I realise this is an advertisement, but the following informercial featuring Mr T has managed to thrill and delight me two nights running for a number of reasons, including the fact it reminds me of of the Tracy Jordan Meat Machine storyline on 30 Rock. Naturally I had to share it with you on the off chance you’re not a night owl like me.

HIGHLIGHTS:

&middot The crazed audience of actors who manage to outdo both the standard Ellen crowd and the audience during an Oprah’s Favorite Things special when it comes to enthusiasm.
&middot Mr T’s entrance. Bashing the door down!
&middot “Darla, are my eyes deceiving me, or am I looking at the frozen food section of the supermarket?”
&middot “These are all frozen solid! I pity the fool who tries to get this down!”
&middot “Mmmm… this is delicious. My taste buds is goin’ wild!”
&middot “I love it when a plan comes together, Darla”

Oh god. All of Mr T’s “jibber jabber” during this infomercial is wonderful. Also, when ones brain is slightly fried after attending a festival over a long weekend, watching the food cook in seconds is strangely soothing and hypnotic.
