Oh My
All right, I’m going to level with you.
This is not exactly your typical Regretsy post. But Bronc and I were having so much fun animating yesterday that we decided to do one more.
By now, you’ve probably seen this commercial:
Here’s the Regretsy version. Enjoy it while you can.

Love it, and I love my gay Sulu too!
March 24, 2010 at 1:47 pm
That was great! And THANK YOU for ‘shopping in buff hunks instead of mounted singing vagoos.
March 24, 2010 at 1:47 pm
Oh George, If only I were 91% more gay
March 24, 2010 at 1:49 pm
Haha ,thats pumpin’.
March 24, 2010 at 1:50 pm
Hilarious HK and BD! (Watch out for Klingons, Sulu!)
March 24, 2010 at 1:56 pm
LOL! That was great!
March 24, 2010 at 1:57 pm
My first thought when I saw this commercial was, Sulu and no buff men? Impossible! Thank you Helen, thank you.
March 24, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I almost fell off my chair when I saw the original one last night, but this is so much more appropriate. I thank the universe for AW and George Takei.
March 24, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Good read, Takei…too bad he didn’t do the Regretsy version
March 24, 2010 at 2:07 pm
Too funny! Was waiting for the singing cooter but this was way better!!!!
Too bad it isn’t the real commercial!!!
March 24, 2010 at 2:07 pm
LOL! That was funny! Great work!
March 24, 2010 at 2:14 pm
I was thinking that he was gonna see a singing fish vagoo on the screen, along with the words, “TWAT-Tron”…I need to get my mind outta the gutter…
March 24, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Sulu’s “Oh MY!” for a ‘shopped hoo ha wouldn’t be conveyed with such a tone of delight.
March 24, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Set Phazers on STUNNING!!
March 24, 2010 at 2:39 pm
I’m sure Mr. Takei would appreciate this!

That was lovely. And George would never wear skants. Those are for hammer killers and turkey men.

Yellow? That’s not a new primary color. THIS is a new primary color: http://www.negativland.com/squant/
Make sure to download the plugin to see the new color.

Obviously my writing skills were insufficient to express sarcasm. My apologies to all offended.
March 24, 2010 at 3:14 pm
…or irony, even. Keep digging the hole deeper, Jack.
March 24, 2010 at 3:37 pm
Irony is golden. It’s just hard to express without the new Irony Emoticon! (Hey, is there one? Cause I think we could all use it now and then.)
March 24, 2010 at 3:41 pm
That was just the cure I needed for my crappy day. Thanks, April!
I love George Takei so very much.
March 24, 2010 at 3:45 pm
How did you guys get your hands on the original commercial?
March 24, 2010 at 3:50 pm
Bronc is magic. Sorry, “magick”.
March 24, 2010 at 4:26 pm
@Verysage–dunno, is it?
Then again, there’s another TV which includes a “white pixel”–just to represent all those people:

I was most shocked by how thin the television was! How do those buff body builders fit in there?
March 24, 2010 at 5:36 pm
mtopia it wasn’t that hard as most body builders are really pretty shallow anyway.
BadDUMtish! I’ll be here all week.

Hey monstrosa, there is a sarcasm mark. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SarcMark
I’m not buying anything to be able to use it, but I’ve found (.) is a good imitation. Plus it looks a little like a boob. Or an anus on a tiny butt.

Aww. It’s like half a fetus that’s upside down.

now we need to invent the SnarkMark
March 24, 2010 at 6:28 pm
Awesomejuice! I actually was wondering why exactly he sounded queerer than a $14 bill when I first saw the commercial, now I know what they green-screened out. (Yes. I realize that George Takei is gay.)

“#31 Buzzkill To Teenagers :

Yes! Then trademark it and form Snark International Inc.

It would be run by Tony Snark, also known as the Invincible Irony Man.

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah they were all yellow,
I came along
I wrote a song for you
And all the things you do
And it was called yellow
So then I took my turn
Oh all the things I’ve done
And it was all yellow
with apologies to Coldplay

I know this is very late but – the idea behind these tvs is quite silly. Human vision works because the eye has three types of receptors: red, green, and blue. Each receptor has a certain frequency to which it is most sensitive, and is less sensitive to nearby frequencies, and not at all sensitive to very different frequencies. So blue light makes the blue receptors go crazy, green light makes the green go off, and teal makes both go off at a reduced level. (cont)

A television uses this principle to create any colour using just red, green, and blue light. To make teal for example, you shine green and blue; this makes both receptors go off, and the proportion is the same as the way teal light makes them react. Yellow is just some other mixture.
So: adding yellow as a 4th colour does not change the colour range that the tv can display!
