I know they say you should keep a child-like wonder about the world around you, but the lady doing the voice-over in this home video is taking it a bit too far. "What is oozing out of our ground?" she asks about the rainbow that's forming over her sprinkler.
The writers of children's programming place a high priority on making their shows entertaining for adults and children alike — but this is something else. Rainbow, a '70s UK kiddie show, upped the ante on adult entertainment value. The following clip from the "Twangers" episode was a staff joke that was jam packed with innuendo.
Given the new unfortunate trend in live action adaptations of cartoons (one gag-inducing example: Bratz), the folks over at "The Soup" got the idea to make a major motion picture of their favorite 80s cartoon. I couldn't be happier about Rainbow Brite making a comeback, but her look is a little "off" nowadays. I can't exactly put my finger on it though...

And I love him for it. This spectacularly talented and weird front man for Radiohead appeared on a game show in England and asked the panel a question about the band's most recent release, In Rainbows. He wanted to know what was special about it?
"Somewhere over the rainbow"...there's a pair of earplugs and an eye mask so I don't have to listen to or watch this. Take this normally poignant song, add a precocious Tom Jones wannabe, backup singers, and Vegas style dancing--and you've got a cheese-stravaganza of epic proportions. (Thanks for reminding us about this, emma!)
If you've spent time in New York City, you know the demanding ring of a Mr. Softie ice cream truck, but now there's a new truck parking its ice-box-white wheels wherever it can — the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. Doug Quint, the owner, knew that a middle-aged gay man driving an ice-cream truck would draw good and bad attention. So he went all out, painting rainbows on his big, gay ice-cream truck.
The very concept of a soul mate sounds hopelessly hippie and '60s. But for some romantics, there is one person out there and they won't settle for less. Perhaps they imagine when The One shows up, a rainbow will suddenly appear and a unicorn will jump over it holding a bouquet of roses.
In this strangely morbid Skittles commercial, a dude is gifted with the power of changing everything he touches into Skittles, even people. I don't blame the dude for feeling bad about his casualties, but it'd be a whole different ballgame if he could change everything he touched into nachos. Mmmm.
I have my theories about these Skittles ads ("taste the rainbow," multiculturalism, blah blah), but what do they make you think of? Are we supposed to think anything besides, "Wow, that's weird"?
