Is this the most adorable commercial ever?

oh i guess the car turns on? haven't cars been doing that for like 5 years

yeah

i would just like to point out that whiney has been otm on this thread

carry the torch, brother

it kind of writes itself

some guy thinks a volkswagen ad that references 'star wars' is the cutest shit ever...

Seriously, wtf is with the Whiney defenders? I mean, really, is this how you want the internet to be handled? This place is turning into a gigantic fucking circle jerk of bitterness and trying to out-"clown" each other. If thats what people want this place to be, so be it, I'm obviously the one out of step here. I think its time I bowed away from ILX, which is a shame, because there is quite a few people and ongoing threads here I will actively miss. It just seems like the balance has tipped from a cool place where lots of intelligent people talk about music to some insular world where we all need to constantly clown earnestness and excitement to make sure exude the proper aura of "doing the internet right".

Fwiw, I'm not calling Whiney an asshole because of this thread, it just happened to be a place to vent about his rampant shitty attitude in general, short of starting a whole new thread about it. I'm sure you guys will consider this some sort of victory for having chased off someone who doesn't "post right" or whatever, so enjoy it, I guess.

Btw I think the commercial's "adorableness" has nothing to do with Star Wars, I love the kids gestures and excitement at role-playing.

xxpost: ... some other guy with a "hipster puppies" tumblr claims that passing around links to cute shit is 'doing the internet wrong'...

lit's true whiney vomits bile on a timer but he didn't like this commercial & u took it personally. why are ppl who like cute things so often eggshells armed with hammers?

ps whiney is banned now

Again, because you can't seem to understand, this whole issue has next to noghing to do with this thread - it just happens to be the location where an ongoing issue came to a head.

pick yr battles imo

you should just stick around and try to not engage with what you consider to be the hostile aspects of ilx. i would like to imagine that folks would tone it down a notch tbh but even if they don't it's not difficult to avoid 'em.

Whiney doesn't bother me that much. He's never approached s1ocki levels of shitting on threads. But it's all on a continuum. Annoyance at all levels.

Also, j/v/c, please don't leave.

ha, jon's post reminds me of something from like 08 when watercooler types were campaigning to get dom permabanned

To be clear, I don't want to ban Whiney. I just want him to stop being so willfully dickish to people. Considering his book, he's obviously a smart guy with great things to say. I just wish he'd approach posting here with the same attitude.

It just seems like the balance has tipped from a cool place where lots of intelligent people talk about music to some insular world where we all need to constantly clown earnestness and excitement to make sure exude the proper aura of "doing the internet right".

not really sure when this golden age was

anyway, bye!!!! have fun!!!!!

when a thread titled: "Is this the most adorable commercial ever?" gets no snark it is time to leave ilx/the internet/the planet.

j/v/c - hang out on the sports and vinyl boards, more chill

If you honestly thought I was on some Jean Teasdale type shit with this thread title, well, I don't know what to tell you other than to maybe look up "tongue-in-cheek" on wikipedia.

you guys are goddamn assholes, the snuggle bear is one of the most cutest and cuddliest fellas ever to be on tv advertisements so please show some respect for that good ol' buddy.

maybe we need to revive the "Don't post here if you hate me" tag

Thats what happened to this thread

Jon, try and just tune out the people you don't like. Whiney has a schtick, and sometimes it's funny and useful, and sometimes it's boring and prickish, but don't get aggravated by it - it's pretty harmless. Easy for me to say, maybe, because the only two posters I genuinely hated have both gone, but good advice nonetheless.

He's never approached s1ocki levels of shitting on threads.

I'm assuming this is a very deadpan joke.

In my (very slight) defense, it came after an episode in which he was following me into various threads to post a picture of Jeff Tweedy after everything I said.

^this is genius.

this was a pretty cute commercial

for what it's worth, i wasn't trying to defend anybody with my post, I just didn't like the commercial. I don't mind that other people like it or anything.

lol Bill

i never did that, btw

I actually got a kick out of this commercial. I'm sure JVC (RIP) would be surprised to hear me say that, because i'm apparently on his shit-list.

at this point I more or less wish all things Star Wars-related never even existed in the first place

Putting the star wars thing aside, the fact that the kid actually believed that he caused the lights going on was pretty funny. A little hammy on the reaction by the junior thespian, but thumbs up overall.

hammy? he's in a mask!! the kid's a master, come on.

the piggy thing is way better tho, love that shit

dude seriously you need to take this http://jetstwit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/chillpill2.jpg watching you rant all the time about posters you dont like is nagl killfile bro

wait who are you talking to cuz your post could apply to like 80% of ilx posters

yeah goole has been outta control as of late

sorry everybody, it's been really tense at home

I liked the commercial, but I used to have a little kid who did adorable things.

im speaking to /the reader/

cute ad that resonates w me cuz my kid got a closeout dv costume at target for like $15 and walks around tryna use the force on our cats, just like that.

it's cool goole, i didn't want to bring up the chillwave probs you've been having in your personal life, i figured that was your story to tell

aw

paul douglas forecasts: serious chillwave

well, he also insists on posing for ANY pic doing the "force move," which is a strange look while wearing a christmas sweater or what have you
