Greetings So Good readers. Eick here, with a post for the first time in a month. Yikes. The craziness of real life has gotten the better of me in the last month, and the result has been devastating for So Good, I admit. But I’m back and excited to be spouting off my thoughts on [...]

Ah YouTube. Sometimes you’re just wandering around looking for hilarious videos of cats riding vacuums.  But other times, you get a sense of nostalgia, and start randomly watching fast food or cereal commercials from your childhood.
Today I stumbled across a relatively new Corn Pops commercial called “Dragon Dreams.”  The title was intriguing, so I gave [...]

Ahhhhh the 80’s. That lovable time when marketers thought they could turn any movie, TV show, kids toy or video game into, you guessed it, a breakfast cereal.
Dude, I totally don’t remember this at all dude. Nor did I ever try it, so I don’t even know if it’s “most excellent.”  But I am amused [...]

A few months back, So Good ripped Kellogg’s for their gutless decision to cut Michael Phelps as a spokesperson after he was photographed smoking from a bong (yet didn’t seem to mind his previous DUI when hiring him).  We also praised Subway and other sponsors, such as Speedo, for standing by Phelps, as well as [...]

As in Franklin D. Roosevelt, who appears on the  U.S. dime.  This Taco Bell ad/video was made by Chris Applebaum, best known for videos for artists like Britney Spears and Rihanna. Message is pretty straight forward, “our food is cheap, you can buy it with pocket change.” I’m not jumping out of my seat for [...]

This video was spotted by our friends over at Brightest Young Things, who note about the video:
At first I thought this was a children’s video, but by the end of the first verse I think it’s about actually fucking fast food- as in making sex with fast food, getting turned on by fast food, or [...]

Basically, this song from Das Racist is not good. It kind of sucks, and it is annoying. But it’s great. Good luck getting it out of your head.

Last week we took a look back at the BK King in the 1970’s, noting that the “Magic” King back then was arguably no less creepy than the current incarnation of the BK King.  Now lets take a look at a McDonald’s ad from 1971, featuring none other than Willard Scott as Ronald McDonald, advertising [...]

Burger King has been pretty steadfast in sticking to their use of the creepy BK King despite decidely mixed reviews about the character.  But it’s important to remember that the BK King was not always creepy. There was a time where the King character appealed not to jaded 18-34 year old males with big appetites, [...]

Update #2: Since many people don’t seem to believe that Quiznos didn’t play a role, or at least didn’t have an understanding that the video was being made, I placed a call to Playboy to see if they could shed some light on Quiznos involvement (or lack of involvement) in regards to this video. Here [...]

I know, I know, more bacon products. I’m as sick of them as you are. Good lord though, how could I not mention this? I don’t have any snarky comments about people “porking” or your next session in the sack being “sizzling.”  I think the absurdity of this product speaks for itself. Insert your own [...]

As we covered in the post below, a few days ago Oprah promoted some coupons on her website for a free 2 piece Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal.  However, as Mom Logic noticed, the coupons, valid for a two week period, bizarrely singled out Mother’s Day as the one specific day when the coupon would not [...]

Wow. This one totally slipped past me. I was reading the AdAge Viral Video chart for last week and noticed that a video from Cadbury called “Cadbury Eyebrows” was #3.  Apparently the video already has more than 3.3 million views on YouTube, but since it’s not airing on television here in the U.S. it’s probably [...]

Not as awesome as the original, “Heineken Walk In Fridge” commercial, but definitely an amusing follow-up.

As a humor/food blog, almost all my posts relate to food in some capacity. However, every once in a while there’s something funny and comedic I like to highlight with only a tenuous link to food. My buddy Seaton Smith, a comic here in Washington, DC, has just released the first episode of a great [...]

Remember back when food companies thought any popular video game, TV show or movie warranted the creation of a breakfast cereal? Phew, thank god we don’t think that way anymore.  Oh wait….
Also, nothing says “eat up” like a decapitated severed hand pouring you a bowl of cereal.
