Facebook Manners And You

Do you have good Facebook manners? Timmy and Alice don't. Watch their bad behavior to learn the dos and don'ts of Facebook breakups.

This one's done in the style of one of those 1950s public service announcements. The device shown is Alice's "computing machine." Its keyboard is an old Remington typewriter. At around 3:13, pause the video to read all the bad things Alice accused Timmy of doing.

**Jimaz** · November-20-09, 08:34 PM

This is in return for eriedearie's cat video. It's a J. C. Penny ad that's funny enough to stand on its own as a short film.

Beware of the Doghouse

**gnome** · November-20-09, 09:12 PM

Jimaz, both were great, but the doghouse one ... goodness. I've been there. It is just like they depicted. brutal, with the chai lattes and everything.

Did you get past the Review Board or have to escape?

**gnome** · November-20-09, 09:39 PM

who says I got out?

Want to know my crime? Washed the bed sheet in warm/cold water, not hot/ warm... still folding.

**Jimaz** · November-20-09, 09:44 PM

These videos are all very amusing, true.

What strikes me is that a mainstream retailer like J. C. Penny is finally starting to understand and is actively attempting to exploit the power of viral media. With Michigan trying so hard to break into filmmaking, maybe Michigan could focus more energy on prying open this particular niche [[where potential customers want to watch these new ads for their entertainment value alone) instead of trying to compete against an entrenched Hollywood on their traditional turf.

It seems to me that niche is underserved and likely to grow. Michigan has a lot of quirky talent [[Tim Allen, Hell, MI, etc., etc.) that might just be able to get a toe-hold in this burgeoning market.

[[I have no personal interest in this other than wishing Michigan to thrive.)

**gnome** · November-21-09, 03:37 PM

Jimaz, the Michigan film credit does not apply to commercials, training, instructional or long form infomercial films. It applies only to entertainment pieces.

But, to get back to the theme of the thread, you might want to check out this from Shredded Wheat. It is a series that delves deep into a single joke and plays it well.

A friend at work used to do some amazing aerobatics in the parking lot during lunch with his RC gas helocopter. But this video has that beat all to hell.
