dr_whomEvery year around this time I start seeing commercials for the Hess truck. These are commercials for a toy truck, which itself is an advertisement for a gas station, that feature a children's choir singing a parody of the 1963 pop song "My Boyfriend's Back". I'm not sure why exactly I find this combination of elements so unutterably bizarre, but I can't deny that I do. The commercials just mystify me for some reason. I wonder if this is due in part to the fact that I'd never heard of the Hess truck before I was let's say 25 or so, but I'm really not sure.
In unrelated news, it must be kind of embarrassing for Alex Trebek to have said "I just got a look at the Final Jeopardy! clue, and I bet someone will be going home with a big payday tonight" and then have no one get the right answer.
