That hot pocket commercial has been around for months, bro.

Everything is marketed to frat boys.

I love that hot pocket commercial. It is honest! The only thing hot pockets have going for them is that they're hot, after microwaving.

Wait. The only "horny" in the ad is in the eyes of the beholder. It's directed as a comic misunderstanding. The dude with the hot pocket is oblivious to the girl. So, idiot, yes. In fact, he doesn't notice her until she steals a bite.

Actually, on second watching, the directing makes it look like the girl is coming on to the guy. Marketing!

Just as I was driving to lunch (not to MiccyD's, mind), I saw that billboard and assumed it was a barefaced lie that the fish in McFishy Bits was caught within 100 miles of that billboard.

Indeed. Alaskan pollock. So, one state over (assuming you ignore the entirety of Northwestern Canada). Totally "here", right?

@8 Damn! That was funny. I bookmarked it. Someone was asking me recently what a hot pocket is. Now I can tell them. Thanks.

Also, I miss the old Hot Pocket jingle, not this truncated shit. Kids these days—no time to heat real food, no time to hear a whole jingle.

I just threw up a little, all over the place.

Here I'll explain it for you. Hot Pockets are a thing that people eat when food is not available. They are a food substitute with extra flavor enhancers.
