Super Bowl, Dr Pepper and Youtube Soda Commercial.

So here's another commercial that won't be on during the Steelers Cardinals Super Bowl today - one of the old Dr Pepper commercials with David Naughton.

I used to break into the Dr Pepper dance all the time to annoy people. Haven't done it in years. I think I need to put that back into my arsenal.

I wonder if they'll ever do a remake and call me to star in it? I'll do it in a second but my moves would be a little less gay and there's no way I'd have Popeye popping up at the end.

What's that about?

Popeye, Gumby and Zippo Lighters

Did you know that Popeye made it's first appearance in the comics on this day in 1929? Yup. And to tell you the truth I never really liked Popeye. I did however like the Sea Hag and Alice the Goon that were on the Popeye cartoon. In fact, that weird chin that the Sea Hag sports is one of my favorite features that some old people get. I hope I never look like that.

I do have a Popeye Zippo lighter so I guess I don't dislike it that much.

A show that reminds me of Popeye is Gumby. The reason is because when I was a kid waiting for the bus, it was either Popeye or Gumby that would be the animation that was showed during Philly's Captain Noah Show....or was it during the Captain Kangaroo Show? I forget. Anyways, here's the theme to Gumby. After making sure nobody's listening, sing along!
