Stewie vs. Underdog-Coca Cola's IT'S MINE Commercial from Superbowl XLII+Any ideas for a SUPERBOWL LXI Commercial?

Well, I missed my chance to post during Superbowl LX when the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS beat the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS by 29-13.


But I need to keep this blog active.


And what has emerged from my cerebellum this time?

Why none other than this COCA-COLA Ad from when they made STEWIE fight with UNDERDOG over a bottle of COKE.

Here's the ad in full:

And yes, I've stumbled upon the BEHIND THE SCENES look at how the commercial was shot, animated, composited, color corrected, etc.
Sorry if I'm repeating the Commercial but if you watch past the Coke Logo at the end,
then you will see the Behind the Scenes look.

Pretty Cool logo from the years when COCA-COLA allowed any sort of artistic creative by the hands of those manipulating the skeletons of rigs.



I will admit, I prefer PEPSI these days but at the same time, COKE seems to get all the glory these days in terms of their advertising.

But with COCA-COLA turning to AI for their commercials and their refusal to back down from it, PEPSI should dominate the SUPER BOWL AD SPACE next year in 2027 and beyond so.....

Here's my Idea a pitch for what can be done for PEPSI:

Have DOUG FUNNIE from DISNEY'S DOUG get into a argument with BENDER from FUTURAMA over who gets the last 2L Bottle of PEPSI at a PARTY before STEWIE GRIFFIN from FAMILY GUY shows up and claims the bottle to himself and saying his classic catchphrase "VICTORY SHALL BE MINE!!!"

All while DOUG threatens to throw Stewie like a football due to his head being literally shaped that way, but by the time the commercial comes to a close, Stewie makes his escape using his TIME MACHINE's Return Pod.

And have it be animated on TOON BOOM HARMONY all by hand.
On WACOM CINTIQs that is.

AND HIRE BACK BILLY WEST as DOUG FUNNIE because I want my DOUG with the VOICE of PHILLIP J. FRY and not FRANCIS MCREARY.


Now that's a good pitch.

Or submit in your comments what could be your ideal PEPSI ad for next year's Super Bowl.

My very first Exposure to an Internet Meme circa 1999

It's hard to see in this Screengrab but this was my Set up from late 1999....

Well.... technically this was my Dad's Set up since he was the one who bought that COMPAQ PRESARIO 5477 back in 1999.

Anyway, This was a screen from one of my old 1999 High8 TAPEs featuring me when I was 2 years old and in it, I was eating some GUMMY WORMs. 

And I was watching this meme called HAMPSTER DANCE.
This is a very interesting internet meme that permeated mid-to-late 90s INTERNET alongside the DANCING BABY but in an interesting way.

Whereas the DANCING BABY was an accident based on the leaking of a 3DS STUDIO file to others who have access to the software and proceeded to share it to this guy in WASHINGTON STATE named ROB SHERIDAN, 


The HAMPSTER DANCE was just an early meme created by a CANADIAN Martial Arts instructor at NANAIMO, BC who goes by DEIDRE LACARTE.

She was in a competition with her best friend and sister on who could generate the most web traffic on their websites.

The website host she decided to use was GeoCities.

Remember GeoCities?



Anyway, she created the webpage and dedicated it to her pet hamster at the time who went by the name of HAMPTON HAMPSTER. 
The website consisted of nothing but a bunch of GIF images of Cartoon Hamsters dancing.
And it was often paired with a snippet of music lifted from the 1973 Disney Animated film ROBIN HOOD.

Specifically the part in the song WHISTLE STOP

where a part of ALAN-A-DALE vocalizes to the song in his own way.

And that part was sped up:

Infectious. Isn't it?

Don't make me share that photo of LITTLE CAT from TWEETERMAN287 trying to cover his ears again!
"TOO LATE!"

Even after the original GeoCities website has long since closed down, the meme still lived.

It was given it's own MUSIC VIDEO done with more oomph and I remember having to listen to that version of the song back in elementary school in the mid to late 2000s.... specifically during a Dance Class we had in one of the basement cafeterias at what's referred to as the PRIMARY BUILDING.


And to this day, the website has found a new home which I'll provide a link to:

Such were the times of PRE-DOTCOM BUBBLE BURST era of the Internet.

My thoughts on the RK ROYAL KLUDGE R87 Mechanical Keyboard

It was sometime around 5PM on April 23 2026 when I saw a notification on my Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max that an AMAZON PACKAGE showed up at the front door so I went out to the back and saw a big AMAZON box.

I took it back out to my Suite, unboxed it and it's there.


Pay no attention to the BOX.

What's represented are the wrong keycaps.


This Keyboard is an MLA Format Mechanical Keyboard as shown below on my desk next to my Current Razer Mouse and below my WACOM TABLET.


So about my thoughts on this Keyboard?

I like the fact that it's Mechanical but I also noticed how thocky it sounds when I type on it thought that may be just because I've seen YOUTUBE Shorts, Facebook Reels, and TikTok videos of people 

Another thing that I like is the fact that it uses USB-C.

It's not a wireless Keyboard so I need to connect it to a computer in order for it to work so instead of using the Included USB-C Cable the keyboard came with, I just used the Braided USB-C Cable that came with my RAZER BASILISK though it may be only temporary because I plan to buy in the future a separate USB-C Cable that connects to the rear USB-C Port of my Motherboard since It's somewhat disused.


One thing that may take some getting used to are the switches underneath the keycaps.

They are slightly heavier than the ones in the FEKER IK65 I have in my room but not as heavy as the AKKOs that my EPOMAKER uses.

If the RK Switches drive me nuts, then I can just swap them out for some AKKOs or Kailh Box Yellows in the future since this is a GASKET MOUNTED Keyboard.

Either way, I look forward to gaming and using this Keyboard on my Daily Driver of a Custom Built AMD RYZEN 9 9950X3D SYSTEM: MAVERICK FALCON 7900RT.

Tweety Bird's fight with STIMPY's ancestors-A Gruesome Twosome

Here's another Cartoon starring the then-naked featherless TWEETY BIRD before FRIZ FRELENG took the BOID into his mantle:



This is 

This is TWEETY's THIRD Cartoon he starred in.


Just like with my previous post about A TALE OF TWO KITTIES, 
This Cartoon features CATS who want to deal with birds.

But it starts off a little unrelated to that.
It all begins with a beautifully done multiplane pan to the right.




We see a silhouette of two cats.
Who could they be?

Why it's a Yellow Cat trying to make the moves with a Fancy ass Female PERSIAN CAT
But then......
Suddenly, a RED CAT shows up.

I've read that THAT RED CAT is a dead ringer for Comedian/Singer JIMMY DURANTE.

Though I barely seen his films with the sole exception being SMILER GROGAN in STANLEY KRAMER's 1963 epic comedy IT'S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD


Anyway, the JIMMY DURANTE CAT whacks the YELLOW CAT.



It looks like DURANTE CAT isn't gonna allow MR. YELLOW CAT hog the Female Cat to himself.



Compared to the YELLOW CAT who just meowed a Serenade based on the 1909 Pop-tune "ME-OW", DURANTE CAT's serenade is actually based on JIMMY DURANTE himself.

Like I said, DURANTE CAT is indeed a dead ringer for the actor because the Cat says HA-CHA-CHA-CHA just like JIMMY did in his routines.

But then.....
"Hey, Pardon me Friend but...."

"That's my girl!!!"


"BEAT IT BUB!!!!"


"I work at this side of the alley!"

*Kicks the Cat out of the way.*

The fights between the two cats kind of drag on especially for BLOG standards so let's just skip ahead to the good parts.

Though in between the acts, this dog shows up out of nowhere.



Anyway, the Persian Cat does not appreciate the two Cats fighting.


"Are you two fighting?"


Uh Oh.... Two Cats caught in a fight.

I wish I had a screengrab but I'm missing one but the Persian Cat makes a bet to the two Cats that if they can catch a bird for her, then she'll forgive the two for their indiscretion. 

Now unlike in A TALE OF TWO KITTIES which featured two Cats having to work together in catching a bird

There's a COCKFIGHT between two Cats this time around due to the bumbling antics of both the JIMMY DURANTE CAT & the YELLOW CAT.





"A BOID'S NEST!!!!"




Well Look who Won the race to get the boid!

But come on, this is a TWEETY BIRD Cartoon. You know what's gonna happen.

"Ya Know, I TAWT A TAW A PUDDY TAT!!!!"


"Hey.... I TAWT I TAW ANOTHER PUDDY TAT!!!"



"I DID! I DID!
I TAW TWO PUDDY TATS!!!"


"Have you PUDDY TATS met?"

!!!!!!

As far as I know, these two Cats are fighting over the retrieval of the BOID.....

But TWEETY has something up his featherless sleeve.

"YEAAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!!!"
Yup.

Even after a previous outing, Tweety has not yet lost his touch.

Nor his wit.
"Bombs away!"

"Oh the poor PUDDY TATS"



"They fall down and go..."

"BOOM!!!!"



The two cats wake up to the tune....
"Who's singing?"

Why none other that TWEETY BIRD,

After a Brief fight between the two Cats,

The Durante Cat realizes that.....
Both of them are gonna go nowhere if they keep squabbling over a bird

So....

They decide it's better off to work together....


Of course, TWEETY BIRD is not gonna make this easy to pull off













"Oh... Look what you've done now you stupid Boid!!!"


"It wasn't me! I didn't do nothin to them PUDDY TATS.
I swear."


Alright. I'll take your word for it....



As if the main header for this post hadn't tipped you off,
This Cartoon was the one that inspired JOHN KRICFALUSI to create his famous STIMPY Character back when he studied Animation at Sheridan College in 1978.
All it took was to take the Red Fur, White Paws, and Large Bulbous nose of the JIMMY DURANTE CAT and combine that with the Retarded Personality of the YELLOW CAT

and we get the lovable MANX CAT of an EEDIOT!!!

Of course, 
Once Nickelodeon picked up the series, they demanded that STIMPY should be less RETARDED, 
both in the design

and Personality
"Oh Joy!!!"


And he also has the voice of LARRY FINE from THE THREE STOOGES
"I may have died in 1975 but I didn't sign for BILLY WEST
to impersonate me for that Retarded Manx Cat"

This Cartoon is also the very last to which we have the original NAKED TWEETY

because the HAYS OFFICE cried afoul(No Avian Puns please) 

not just because of the proper biology of an semi-altricial Baby Bird

but rather due to the fact that he's based on BOB CLAMPETT's naked baby butt photo.

Although CLAMPETT was susposed to clean up TWEETY's act both in design and biology, he left Warner Bros. in 1945 due to wanting to pursue a Television career so FRIZ FRELENG took the BOID and gave him Yellow Canary Feathers...
The FEATHERED TWEETY actually was supposed to be credited to CLAMPETT but like I said, he left, so FRELENG took all the credit for giving our Favorite BOID his feathers and later a new adversary.....
Uh Oh... Sylvester's mighty pissed towards me because I haven't given him any respect.




Unfortunate however that SR. BULLET BILL doesn't have this cartoon in his archive.org account.

I was able to find a print from user dcaligari, hence the screenshots but for the sake of preservation, I won't provide a link to the print, not because the cartoon is still under Copyright until January 1st 2041 but because I don't want any dead links if in the event, the cartoon is suddenly removed from the user's account,
From which I've been there.
