Given the chatter and buzz about an upcoming anti-abortion Super Bowl ad starting Tim Tebow, Upright Citizens Brigade took it upon themselves to imagine what a commercial featuring the University of Florida star hawking Dorito’s might look like.

Rad Omen. Who are they again? I have no idea either. Their Twitter and MySpace accounts are totally inactive, but apparently they are some sort band/group/music collective. Regardless of who the hell they are, their latest video, for their song “Rad Anthem”, directed by Nicholaus Goossen (who was the director of “Grandma’s Boy” and [...]

On the Tonight Show, Conan puts his own spin on a classic Johnny Carson “falling domino’s” routine – by doing it with 40 Domino’s Pizza employees:
(Disclosure: As I’ve mentioned before, I do social media consulting for Domino’s, but this clip is too amusing for me not to post!)

The Onion skewers Taco Bell, with a terrific video about the company’s “Green Menu.” Why is it Green? Because it “takes no ingredients from nature.”

This ad is made by DDB Stockholm, and since it’s really creative and good, it is, of course, not running in the U.S.

We’ve already written about Domino’s release of its new Bread Bowl Pasta. However, what many people might not realize is that these bread bowl pastas are a new spin on the “Pasta Perfecta” product line that Domino’s was testing out last fall. With the success of Pizza Hut’s Tuscani Pasta, it was clear Domino’s felt [...]

Apologies for the lack of posts this week. I got called for jury duty this week and was put on a case, so I’ve been pretty much out of commission and without internet for the last few days.
As a promotion for Cheeto’s newest product, Giant Cheetos, Gizmodo was sent “the world’s largest Cheeto.” So [...]

The Wall Street Journal has a video up of the newest Heinz ketchup commercial, which continues their “slow pour theme.” The ad is well done, and the kid’s line of, “hey you can’t shake it Dad!”, and his defensive “I wasn’t!” is probably one of the cuter interactions I’ve recently seen in an ad of [...]

Serious Eats posted an amusing video yesterday from what appears to be a web based clip/show/feature of some sort called “The Social Experiment.” In this video titled “The Social Experiment: Celebrity Dining”, the host opens the clip by asking:
“It’s difficult for ordinary people to get into famous restaurants. But how difficult is it for famous [...]
I watched SNL this weekend, and it wasn’t great. Yeah, Michael Phelps is a terrible actor, but the issue seems to be that even though the cast right now is pretty great, the writing is pretty bad. Not a great way to kick off the new season. That being said, this video about [...]
Did it really take Dr. Pepper this long to think to enlist someone with the name Doctor? Wow. Well, better late then never. Dr. Pepper has now unveiled what is the first of their new, “Trust me, I’m a Doctor” series of ads (an additional ad will feature Kelsey Grammar…aka Dr. Frasier Crane, [...]

The Onion News Network has a segment on researchers for Domino’s Pizza testing the limits of what types of food (presented as “pizza”) humans will eat. This would be even more funny if it wasn’t so scary accurate. A lot of these ideas you could actually imagine people eating. I blame anyone [...]
One of the great comedic minds of this century passed away yesterday. So Good would like to pay tribute to one of the best comedians of our time. Serious Eats has put up a great video of George Carlin on food, that I would also like to share with you.

Raphael, at Serious Eats, has just informed me that the word is out regarding who was behind the viral Cellphone Popcorn videos. The answer: Cardo Systems, who make BlueTooth headsets.
In my post speculating who was behind these videos, I wrote:
Perhaps this is a bizarre way to advertise for a new low-radiation cell phone?
While not [...]

For those of you unfamiliar with the “Cell Phone Popcorn” videos, a little over a week ago, someone uploaded a clip of four young people speaking French Japanese who pointed four phones at some kernels of popcorn, called them simultaneously, and caused the popcorn to pop. Here is the first video posted for those [...]
