Red Bull gives me wings 

I was watchin the telly(teli?) today in the Ricketts lounge and on comes yet ANOTHER frackin Red Bull commercial. You know it is cuz of the trademark animation style(i dont know if that style is actually trademarked, i simply mean this in the platonic sense(what?)). Dude walkin along midin his business.Bird comes flyin above his head. Now at this point you know what SHOULD happen. but theres no way its gonna happen- right? Close-up bird. Aim. Fire. Its a fairly graphic fire too- you actually see the feces exit the bird. Splat. Guy is pooped on. Wipes it off (completely, very miraculous). Opens his CARRYALL and pulls out a redbull. NO!! theyre reall gonna do it?!?!?! the redbull is consumed wiiiiings sprout from the mans back. he begins to fly up. this is where it must end. i think. the implication is enough. but man that would be awesome if they kept going. Man keeps flying up. positions himself above the bird. bird looks up makes a sound of fear as the man undoes his belt buckle and reaches for the button of his pants. Cut to Red Bull gives you wiiiiiiings.
Now I think this commercial is fantastic. I also think that redbull began this ad campaing jsut so they could do this. It works so well becasue right at the start you know, you jsut know where it SHOULD go but cannot. then it does. And it can only go there becasue of the previous commercials that set it up. Fan fucking tastic.

Comments:
Apparently Red Bull is also quite a powerful diuretic. I mean like 4 seconds go by after consuming the RB until his first urination. I can't imagine this is a completely possitive association. But, I guess if you had wings you would want to jetison any excess weight as fast as possible, so maybe it all works out.
