Best Commercial Ever

This 1960's commercial by the great Stan Freberg for Banquet Frozen Dinners in my opinion is the best commercial in the world...



I wish I knew the name of the actress who plays Cynthia the housewife. She is absolutely amazing. I can tell you that Stan Freberg is also one of the men doing the voice over on this spot (Stan usually does the V.O. work on his commercials).

FYI: For those who might be wondering, I've had my hands full lately, and probably won't be posting very much for a while. Hope to resume a weekly-ish schedule in a about a month or two.

Cypress Gardens

Here's a card from the 1970's (I think) for the now defunct Cypress Gardens.


Legoland Florida is scheduled to open sometime in October 2011 on the old Cypress Gardens site. From looking at the tiny map on their Web site it appears the botanical gardens and the ski show are still there. I think it's possible most of what Cypress Gardens was will continue on.

One-One-One One

Last year I posted the Best Fails of 2009. It was pretty hilarious, and little bit painful to watch. So if you can stand more painful human injury (some of it very painful, yikes!) here we go again with the Fail Compilation 2010...

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

... And just for balance here's the Win Compilation 2010 (it's not as funny, but it's pain free).

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Now I've got to figure out what the hell I'm gonna post this year.
