Cereal – Star Wars Cereal

Best Old TV Commercials — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:58:09 +0000

George Lucas spared no opportunity to put his famous robots on the packages of every children’s product imaginable. It is, however, disappointing that there is no Star Wars toy advertised in this box of Star Wars cereal.

C3P0′s are basically deformed Cheerio’s. They look sort of like those Double Inner Tubes they rent out at Waterparks, and probably float the same as both Cheerio’s and inner tubes.

C3P0 loves selling products to kids, and he’s even on a ship serving Han Solo and a wookie a nice heaping bowl of his crunchy New Force in Breakfast.

One thing I’ve found about Star Wars commercials is that u get to peer into new behaviors of Star Wars characters that you don’t know from the movies. For instance, did you know that R2D2 was a dirty shameless smoker? And that C3P0 is a real buzzkill?

C3P0 explains to R2D2 that smoking does dreadful things to your lungs and is very bad for your health. Who woulda thought?

Don’t Drink and Drive – A Star Wars Special

Through the 80′s at the height of Star Wars popularity, George Lucas not only touted his trademarks through every marketable venue possible, stamping C3P0 and the Millenium Falcon on every childrens toy and food product, but also to provide lessons on a moral, responsible life. For instance, drinking and driving.

Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.
