I Don't Know Why I Laugh Sometimes: When did Frosty the Snowman .

I've decided that I'm going to start critiquing commercials, because I see them so often and I want to sing about them. I want to speak about them.Have you all seen the Droid commercial with the snowman? If not, let me recap it for you.Open on a winter evening scene. A pair of children run into the house (probably for supper). Then the snowman comes to life.MUAHAHAHAA!Zoom in on the snowman (let's call him Droidy the Motorolaman).

Droidy's stick arm falls off. Oh no! Then Droidy's eyes lighting up like evil laser-beams of red death. His mind starts to melt, because it's obviously so frickin' hot outside - I would see if he was standing in a greenhouse, but he's not. That's a different snowman. What is amiss with this snowman?Here's the zinger - his eyes are actually cell phones! Whowouldathunkit! This isn't the dear ole commercial days when ad men used snowmen to sell soup. Like the snowman who shuffles inside and then melts down to a little boy eating a roll of Campells. Oh no, this is not that sort of commercial.The eye, I mean Droid X or any new Droid is out now, turns and subliminally tells me that this sound can do anything. For example:It is waterproof. It has to be - it's been within a snowman's head for probably a full 30 minutes to an hour. I give a feeling those kids worked very tough on it. That's probably why they ran into the family for supper. (Man, I trust there really were kids at the source of the commercial.it's sort of fuzzy right now, and I can't determine the commercial on the internet). Anyway, for the interest of being safe, "whoever" built the snowman didn't do a shotty job.It can perform Jedi Mind tricks. They should be calling this phone YODA. Hey, if George Lucas had to give them the rights to use the term "Droid" then he can pass over "Yoda" too. How perform mind tricks does it, hmm?For starters, Droidy snapped his own arms off to get your attention. Plus, these robot arms emerged to substitute the joint arms! SCARY! Then he melted his own face! This sound is crazy! And you love what the biggest mind trick is? Millions of mass are leaving to go buy Droid X and Droid 2.because if they don't, Droidy the Motorolaman will put you in a Darth Vader choke hold.That's my recap.Here's the critique: Not too bad of a commercial. I get all the George Lucas.I mean Droid Lucas.crap, I mean DROID comparisons to an actual "I-can-do-anything-cell-phone-of-the-future." And I care how they chose a snowman to deconstruct instead of Santa or a reindeer or an elf for their holiday commercial. I don't need to see a reindeer's head blow up to reveal two Droid phones. I don't like seeing alive deer, so I definitely don't need to see a dead one.Secondly, I'm kind of a Star Wars fan, if you couldn't already tell : So, hats off to making the snowman like Darth Vader. Yes, his head looks like Lord Vader's with his helmet off - the pale skin, the black set eyes, the sympathy I start feeling for him even though he is wickedness and bad, but he can't help it because he's on the Night Side, just like a snowman doesn't take to be a snowman - someone has to take him into a snowman, and a snowman can't go back because he will melt, and Vader can't go back either. WHOA! Epiphany! Symbolism, I tell ya, too bad this commercial didn't get out when I was even in college. I look like I get a full term paper here.And let's not leave the robotic arms which coincide with Luke Skywalker's robotic hand. Honestly, I think George Lucas should be getting paid BIG TIME for this commercial.
