Pork and Pepsi
Have you seen Mariah Carey's Pepsi Commercial? At one point, she looks cross-eyed...
...at another, sultry...
...and then she goes down a slide. It's all strangely exciting. But the best part is her concluding whirl on a motorcycle. The scene hits such an explosive height, that I couldn't help but wonder if this was her way of paying homage to Miss Piggy in The Great Muppet Caper. Compare, if you will:
Yes, I rearranged frames so that everything matches up nicely (if the gifs aren't in sync, let them load completely and then refresh). I did this because I'm jealous of her, clearly. And also, I think by wearing that white helmet, she was practically begging for it.
That commercial is so bad it's good.

Bitch should be shilling for Diet Pepsi given her sausage tendencies, but she's far too vain for that.

does this mean we get to add Mariah to this illustrious list?

I am really digging that track. Too bad it's just a ringtone.

That woman *is* Miss Piggy.
*vomit*
Can't she go away, again? She still has another 30 pounds to lose.

I actually thought of you when I saw this commercial. Dude, I think you're now my pop culture touchstone.

Rich...you are a genius. Miss Piggy in The Great Muppet Caper? Wow. I bow down to your warped mind. They do have the exact same hairstyle.....hmmmm.

Dear Bundt Cake,
Grow up. She's not annoying because of her weight, she's annoying because of her smugness.
Sincerely,
Someone who is sick of the weight nazis.

I'm actually loving that commercial. I don't really know why. Maybe because of it's over-the-top fabulousness. Now that I've seen the Miss Piggy comparison, I'm going to laugh whenever I see it from now on. Where in the world did you dig up footage of the Great Muppet Caper?
And I've realized that MC's weird demand to only be photographed from her right side has to do with the wonkiness of that left eye. It's slightly smaller and maybe a little lazy.

LOL, y'all dead wrong for that.
Mariah looks terrific. I love her regardless. ^_^

You are the absolute best! Seriously you so clever.

She's not annoying because of her weight, she's annoying because of her smugness.
Also because of her consistently bad fashion. Does this woman not have a competent stylist?

her consistently bad fashion
yeah, that too... those shrunken truncated minis, the side-boob cleavage... gah...

damn, some of you are too funny...i'm looking at you moss :)

I love the commercial! But, it is slightly cheesy, not "prata" cheese, but some velveta for sure.

Usually I scoff and chuckle at everything this woman says, does and coos in an airy head voice, but damn(!) I am hooked on this ringtone!

The Mariah vs. Ms. Piggy comparison is truly brilliant. You are one of the best bloggers on the web. J'ador four four!

I love that you just referenced my favorite movie from childhood and likened it to something Mariah Carey did. Pop culture really does transcend all boudaries, no?
