2 Funny: Running Errands with My Mom

Cartoon Network’s late skit-comedy series Incredible Crew rubbed a lot of fans the wrong way, but I myself had no major qualms with it; I just didn’t think it belonged on CN since it was a live-action show. I felt it could’ve worked had it run on a different network, plus I like the title Incredible Crew (fun trivia fact: Incredible Crew was one choice for the name of this site!). Here’s one of the better (I thought) bits from that show. IC is unique due to some of its’ cast members’ outside activities; Jeremy Shada also serves as the voice of Finn the Human from Adventure Time, and another regular Shameik Moore would go on to star in this summer’s Dope. Here’s “Running Errands with My Mom”.

2 Funny/Ad Nausea: Nike Presto!

Back in 2000, Nike first unveiled their Presto! collection, a unique line of sneaks which boasted wonderfully garish colors and comically unusual names, such as Shady Milkman and Orange Monk. There were also some pretty cool, funny animated spots made for this product line. Here are the ads for 6 of them.

For the record, the other 7 were:

  • Catfight Shiner
  • Rogue Kielbasa
  • The Hungry Fisherman
  • Chips and Dip
  • Angry Chicken
  • Migraine Fly
  • Stephen Murphy

I wish they had gotten commercials too. (There was alive-action spot made for Angry Chicken, featuring a guy doing parkour to escape a chicken, but it wasn’t nearly as interesting.) I would have LOVED to have seen what kind of cool animations this crew could have come up with for Stephen Murphy and Rogue Kielbasa. The mind boggles.
