      I think memes move too fast for commercials (also movies, music videos, etc). By the time it's in circulation, it's already two meme generations behind. By the time it's done airing, the meme is so stale you could use it as a crouton

      Give it five years, it'll all come back around. Styles and fads notmally do. What you think skinnies and air jordans at the time was new? Nah muh friend- just a slightly changed version of straight jeans and Addidas. Bell bottoms? Look no further than 1999 and Jncos! Soaps grind, wheelies skate, it just all comes back and people be like "Trend-eh"! I see people dress now and it is like being back in the early nineties with a few different variants. Like very few changes.

You don't have it, you want it" and it went for 30 seconds and it was perfect.

    "Nobody spiked their hair." Dude, I've seen pictures of my uncle in the 1970s with spiky punk hair. It comes in phases. By 2050, we'll be spiking hair again.

    My parents bought a Shamwow, and I can confirm that it is just as incredible as advertised. They soak up so much water that they become a couple pounds heavier when at full capacity. We now own like ten of them, and we use them for everything.
