Redd’s Wicked Apple Halloween Commercial!

October 31, 2015

Halloween is a wonderful time to let your inner furry self out, and a Redd’s Wicked Apple Halloween commercial shows us a werewolf with his date about to be served a Bloody Mary at the bartender’s recommended “perfect temperature of 98.6.” From above then falls a can of Wicked Apple Ale. Refusing the Bloody Mary, the werewolf seizes the gift from on high, and tells the bartender, “Nah dawg, I’m good!, ” walking away with the brew.

There’s some fine touches in this brief commercial, such as the mounted human head on the wall.  “This party is dead,” declares the bartender, adding “I love it!” So do I, dawg…and a Happy Howloween to all of you!

Maaco “Uh-Oh” Deer Commercial…

It’s every motorist’s worst nightmare…an after-dark close encounter with a deer!  As the driver successfully brakes to a full halt just short of a front end impact and rejoices in his luck at avoiding this close call, the buck cops an attitude, and lowers his impressive rack to deliberately scratch up the dude’s bumper.  Yes, Bambi Bumps Bumper might be a subtitle…

…Uh oh!  Better get Maaco (auto body repair, that is)!  The out-takes on this commercial, viewable on Utube and elsewhere, are hilarious.  In one, you can see the head of the human posed in front of the car bumper to manipulate the phony deer head and antlers that you see in the close-ups…

“Jersey Devil” Sighting!

The Jersey Devil is perhaps one of the strangest cryptic creatures commonly talked about, and one with a rich backstory.  Said to be the unwanted and accursed child of a witch who lived in the 1700’s, Mother Leeds, the creature is described as having hooves, a goat’s or horse’s head, bat wings, and a forked tail.  A Little Egg Harbor Township resident, Dave Black, recently snapped a picture of an unidentified life form while driving on Route 9 in Galloway, New Jersey.

Originally the observer thought that he was seeing a llama until the creature “spread out leathery wings and flew over the golf course.”  The observer took a picture, and describes what he saw as being a “large, flying mammal about the size of a deer.”  The photo appears to show something with dark brown fur, wings on its back, and cloven feet.  A video taken by a woman named Emily at about the same time also reportedly shows a reddish animal with a long neck and horns…delightful fare for this Halloween season!
