Things of Your Day

Ever had a jingle stuck in your head but couldn’t locate the source? I found it.

OMG. I guess this must have come out in the early 2000s after I stopped watching TV? I’ve never seen it before, but it’s incredible. How has this not been meme-remixed a billion times already?

Here is some similar content from the other side of the world:

It may not look like it until the end, but it’s an Intel ad.

This thread.

According to the comments of that video it was 2001. Damn catchy and I think their best ad they did.

Maybe you all have seen this but I just came across it.

Extremely high-production-value commercial for… bottled water?
“Oh I could really go for some Pocari Sweat right now”

And some behind the scenes action:

There’s also the possibly apocryphal story you hear about every intake, about a group who were stuck doing mountain climbers, DI/DS is yelling at them, usual shit. Then, one guy, he just stops, throws his arms in the air, and starts to rest. DI comes over and goes “PRIVATE WHY DID YOU STOP DOING MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS?” and the guy goes “SIR I REACHED THE MOUNTAINTOP SIR!*”

*- If he says sir or Drill Sargent varies with the telling and the service it’s being told about.
