  1. Nooo. Eeryone associated with that needs to be pickle freakin’ surprised.

  2. I feel my masculinity in some way threatened by this.

  3. What

    The

    Fuck

  4. 4. rbj

    That reminds me of an LSD trip I once had.

  5. 5. PSGInfinity

    Wow! Cool! Now I can check “experiment with LSD” off the Lifetime To-Do List! Thanks!

  6. 6. Alsadius

    I hate you.

  7. 7. jon

    Thanks for that! Now I know who Jambi’s dad is, where Ms. Yvonne got her hair, and just what happened to Pee Wee’s stylist.

    And I’ll try not to chant “Hammmmmmmmmm” at the next yoga class. There will be stifled laughter, however.

  8. Okay. I spent some time and read the comments. Truly, WTF. But now I get it. I hadn’t really been paying full attention before, but had gotten the phallic symbolism of the pickle. I just wasn’t getting the joke.

    Now I just need to cauterize my soul. I feel psychically violated, for some reason….

  9. It needs subtitles . . . I think.

  10. 10. Jim

    Best. Video. Ev. Ver.

  11. 11. Jim

    A part of my soul finally opened up in a most delightful way. A very tiny clever little stupid naughty ribald part.

  12. 12. Angie

    I think I have just been dumb down.

  13. 13. Nick G.

    Very trippy, but nothing beats Black Hole Sun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiSkyEyBczU

    this is worse than getting rick-roll’d…. WAY worse. let’s hope this doesn’t catch on.

  15. Oh, I’m gonna do my part to help it to catch on. This is better than ricrolling by a long shot.

    I’m dying to know just exactly WTF that was. I get the phallic symbolism of the pickle thing sure, but it looks and sounds like something from an era were that might well have been unintentional. The best I could figure is it’s ham with pickle in the ham (sort of like olive loaf but with pickles) and Hellman’s bought product placement and it’s in some weird kid’s show that never caught on.

    Or, you know, I may have done this whole thing myself back in the ’60s when I was experimenting with mescaline and mushrooms.

  16. OK, I looked closer, it’s from a time when Hellman’s Mayo, Oscar Meyer Ham, and Thomas’ English Muffins were owned by the same company. And they either bought a product placement or this was actually a commercial for all three products.

  17. Huh. So that’s what Culture Club was doing to pay the bills in the mid-’80s after the hits dried up.

  18. 18. NukemHill

    Dean, read the comments for the video. It’s about trannies and “unexpected pickle placement”. Well, unexpected by the john, anyway.

  19. Finally, video captured from the inside of Andrew Sullivan’s brain.

    Finally, video captured from the inside of Andrew Sullivan’s brain.

    We have a winner!

  21. 21. jaymaster

    I did some poking around (NPI).

    It’s some silly gay stuff……

    Okay, so I can never unsee that video.

    I can only hope this is one of the memories I’ll repress.

  23. 23. LordAldo

    Crap!

  24. 24. XBradTC

    I’ll sleep better tonight knowing that America survived the era that brought us this video. Hell, after seeing that, I don’t think even Obama can bring about our downfall…

    I have carefully considered the merits of your exposition, and I offer the following two points in rebuttal:

    1. Damn you, Steve. Damn you to the deepest, coldest depths of hell.

    2. I have utterly lost all faith in humanity. Seriously, I no longer opposed the Iranians or the North Koreans getting the bomb. Heck, we should sell them weapons-grade material right now, along with detailed instructions on how to use them. Because the fiery destruction and ensuing nuclear winter that would inevitably cause would be too good for a species as miserable and degenerate as my own.

    It’s like waking up and discovering you’re a giant insect. Gregor Samsa had it too good.
