20 Great songs made for ads

Tunes like these make commercials worth looking up. From decade old jingles to awesome songs for sometimes not so awesome toys, join me as we count down 20 great songs from ads. To be specific, I'm listing songs made for commercials and not songs from the likes of Lady Gaga or Michael Jackson that were tacked onto commercials.

#20: Chargertron

Pretty rad!

#19: Oreo Bright Ideas

Here's a bright idea: let this jingle caress your eardrums!

#18: Mentos

It's the fresh maker and it has a really fresh jingle to go along with it.

#17: I'm a Toys R Us kid

Bring out the kid in you!

#16: Zack the Lego Maniac

This funky little jingle will turn anyone into a Lego maniac!

#15: Legend of Zelda Japanese Hip Hop

The Japanese really know their music. If you don't believe me, go search up anime theme songs.

#14: SpongeBob Merch

This ad brings us a rather nice parody of the Safety Dance, even if it's sole purpose of existing is to convince kids to buy SpongeBob merchandise.

#13: Thirstiest Time of the Year

This rad remake of a famous Christmas song will leave you longing for a Sprite Cranberry.

#12: Genesis does what Nintendon't

Now you're playing with blast processing!

#11: SuperSonic The Joystick

What it lacks in wires, it more than makes up for with funk!

#10: Things go better with Coke

Have a Coke and a smile!

#9: Give me a Dew

Anyone up for Mountain Dew after this?

#8: In-N-Out Burger That's What It's All About

Sometimes simple is best, as this song proves.

#7: Skip-It

An impossible to master toy, but the theme song's still catchy.

#6: Lisa Loud's Anti-Germ song

Lisa's talents extend far beyond science and chemistry.

#5: Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?

Why yes I would like to be a pepper!

#4: You Deserve a Break Today

Need a break? McDonald's got you covered.

#3: My Friend Plank

Any Ed Edd N Eddy fan will recognize this tune.

#2: Crossfire

If the future is as awesome as this commercial shows, I'm in!

#1: Segata Sanshiro

If Chuck Norris had a Japanese counterpart, this would be him!

I think I've set up a really nice playlist here.

15 Rather unique hotels

Some hotels go above and beyond in giving guests an unforgettable experience. From a hotel made entirely out of ice to a resort that's underwater, join me as we count down 15 hotels that are much different from the norm.

#15: IceHotel

Don't lick the walls! Oh wait, I already used that quote.

Place of business: Jukkasjärvi, Sweden

True to its name, this hotel is made entirely out of ice. Because of this the place melts every year during Summer, but when Winter comes back around local architects sculpt the building all over again.

#14: Jules Underwater Lodge

If you want this your, you gotta scuba dive for it!

Place of business: Key Largo, Florida

Before it became a hotel, this place used to be a research laboratory. The rooms are 21 feet under the sea and all have large, strong windows that give guests a front row seat to the various sea life surrounding them.

#13: Giraffe Manor

Hey look, we have guests!

Place of business: Kenya

Along with the nice amenities and lovely layout, guests to this place also get to witness the local giraffes stick their heads through the windows for quick visits.

#12: The Wigwam Motel

It's like the discovery of America all over again!

Place of business: San Bernardino, California

The rooms of this place are made to like like teepees, just like the ones Native Americans lived in back in America's very early history.

#11: Marmara Antalya

I'm getting dizzy!

Place of business: Antalya, Turkey

Floating in a massive pool of water and powered by 6 engines, guests in this 24 room loft get a constantly changing view of the outside world through the windows.

#10: Treehotel

Can you spot the mirror cube?

Place of business: Sweden

This hotel offers a number of different looking rooms to view the surrounding forest from, ranging from a giant mirror cube to a ufo. Regardless of which room you choose, you'll get a nice view of the surrounding forest.

#9: Bertram's Hotel

I guess you can say this bus got schooled!

Place of business: Devon, UK

This hotel was built out an old double decker bus. The interior is decorated to look like it came right out of the 1950s.

#8: Attrap' Reves Dome

360 Degree views are the best, aren't they?

Place of business: France

Instead of the usual square rooms, this hotel has eco-friendly bubble domes that let guest get up close and personal with nature.

#7: Beckham Creek Cave Lodge

Pretty fancy for something our ancient ancestors used to inhabit.

Place of business: Parthenon, Arkansas

This 6000 square foot hotel is set within a cave carved into a mountain. Not only do you get a luxury stay, but you also get a stunning view of the mountainside and the valley below.

#6: The HI Jail Hostel

At least this prison is nice, unlike most prisons I know of!

Place of business: Ottawa, Canada

This place used to be a prison before it was turned into a prison themed hotel, complete with jail cells. Every morning guests get breakfast and a tour of the facilities.

#5: V8 Hotel

VROOM VROOM!

Place of business: Germany

This hotel is all about automobiles, from walls covered with car paintings to beds shaped like cars. If that wasn't cool enough, the website also as a virtual reality tour, so you can check it out even if you can't go.

#4: Cartoon Network Hotel

The Cartoon Cartoons have come to life!

Place of business: Lancaster, Pennsylvania

This hotel is all about the Cartoon Network universe, from rooms themed after Adventure Time and The Powerpuff Girls to a Ben 10 themed arcade room.

#3: Dog Bark Park Inn

Who's bigger, this dog or Clifford?

Place of business: Idaho, USA

Not only does this place look like a giant dog, but the interior has dog-themed decorations around every corner.

#2: Hang Nga Guest House

Is this a hotel or a hiding place for fairies?

Place of business: Da Lat, Vietnam

This hotel features a crazy design that makes it look like it came from a fairy tale. The rooms it has are made to look like hobbit caves and each one has its own theme.

#1: Hotel Marqués de Riscal

Modern art at its most live insideable!

Place of business: Spain

Designed by Frank Gehry, this luxury resort combines square geometry with wavy roofs to create a very unique building. The interior is just as amazing, featuring tilted walls and zigzag windows among other curiosities.

If you're looking for a place to get away to when this accursed pandemic ends, I think this list might be useful. If you know of hotels you think should've been on this list, the comments section is your friend. I'll see you later. Have a good day or night depending on what time it is.

20 Things to never, EVER Google

Some things are best left to your imagination. From graphic videos to thankfully fictional diseases, join me as we count down 20 things I advise you should keep far away from your search engine of choice. Warning: This is some !@#$ed up stuff. Viewer's discretion is advised. There will be no pictures because trust me, nobody in their right mind wants to see this $%!@!

#20: Two Girls, One Cup

This one's a classic. This video consists of 2 girls engaging in sexual activity, which includes the usage of fecal matter and vomit.

#19: Botfly removal

Nothing stimulates the appetite like watching botflies being removed from deep with human flesh, am I right?

#18: 4 Girls finger paint

Viewers of this video will witness 4 girls finger painting with their own fecal matter. Does that sound like fun to you?

#17: Mucus plug

If you're wonder what this is, it is a thick cervical mucus the human cervix produces during pregnancy to keep the area moist and protected. I just saved you from searching up this term. You're welcome.

#16: Ballerina feet

Ballerinas may be graceful and elegant, but even they aren't safe from injuries. In fact, many of them suffer from horrific feet injuries as a result of doing this physically taxing sport in those very tight shoes.

#15: Necrophilia

Word to the wise: Corpses do not make good sexual partners.

#14: Unidentified serial killers

This one will leave you paranoid. Maybe Jack the Ripper or the Zodiac Killer are waiting under your bed as we speak...

#13: King Star King

Seriously, this show is !@#$ed up and not in a good way like Robot Chicken or early Family Guy!

#12: Trypophobia

The sight of tons of holes punched into human skin is a disturbing site even if you don't fear holes as a whole.

#11: Lemon Party

This video shows 3 elderly men engaging in sexual intercourse. I have no idea if actual lemons are involved and if you think I'm gonna find out, you have another thing coming!

#10: Eel girl

The woman in this video has a thing about letting live eels crawl up her anus. I have a thing about watching videos that don't make me wanna puke my guts out.

#9: Krokodil

This particularly nasty drug will leave your skin looking like the hide of a crocodile. The images of this side effect will make you want to take those anti-drug PSAs seriously.

#8: Goatse

Nothing says wholesome family fun like a man stretching out his anus, am I right?

#7: Smokers Lung

Go looking for this and you'll see the heavily damaged lungs of those who smoke on a regular basis. You'll also get a good reason to stay far away from tobacco for the rest of life.

#6: Kids in a sandbox

Why do so many of these horrible videos have such innocent sounding names?! Instead of kids playing in a sandbox, this video has a man and a woman engaging in sex before the woman shoves a vibrator into the man's... Special little friend. Look, there's no polite way to say so I'm not gonna say it, is that cool?

#5: One Lunatic, One Icepick

Turns out snuff films are real. This video shows infamous fellow Luka Magnotta repeatedly stabbing Wahun college student Jin Li with an icepick, dismembering his corpse and having his way with whatever's left. Fortunately karma is not on Luka's side, as he is serving his life sentence for this horrendous crime.

#4: Blue waffle

If you have safe search turned off, you'll witness images of a thankfully fictional vaginal disease that makes the skin gangrenous and changes it blue, alongside some actual blue colored waffles.

#3: Tub Girl

This video starts with a hot naked chick in a bathtub... And ends with bodily waste spraying from her rear end like a sprinkler. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go throw up.

#2: Decomposition/rotting corpses

Do I have to explain this one?!

#1: Flesh eating bacteria

If you search for this, you'll be bombarded by images of people affected by this disease having flesh so damaged, you'd swear they were attacked by zombies.

For those who intend to search these up anyways, don't say I didn't warn you. Also don't take that comment I made about Jack the Ripper or the Zodiac Killer hunting you. Their crimes happed years ago, so I'll bet you money they're dead by now. If you know of some other awful things that shouldn't be searched, leave some suggestions in the comments section. I'll see you later. Have a good day or night depending on what time it is.

#8: Aquagenic Urticaria/Water allergy

#7: Cholera

Symptoms for this disease include vomiting, muscle cramps and watery diarrhea so severe that you risk death by dehydration. It spreads through a number of means, but its found most easily in areas with poor sanitation. Fortunately, avoid it is as easy as avoiding unsanitary areas and practicing good hygiene. There are also several vaccines available for it.

It is caused by a number of bacteria and mainly affected impoverished and malnourished children in poorer parts of the world.

Those "lucky" enough to survive this will be unable to move or speak. There is no known cause of this disease, but there are treatments for some of its symptoms.

#2: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

This disorder is extremely rare, but nonetheless horrifying. If you have it, your body will replace broken flesh with bone matter, eventually making you unable to move. Even worse, it is incurable, so your best bet is to try and avoid damaging your skin as much as possible.

#1: Necrotizing fasciitis/Flesh eating disease

This disease causes rapidly destroys your skin, causing extreme pain and an excruciating death. It usually enters you through cuts or burns. It is usually treated with either amputation of the infected limb or combinations of various antibiotics

If you have some suggestions, leave them in the comments section. I'll see you later. Have a happy Halloween, provided of course Covid-19 doesn't ruin that as well.

10 interesting facts about Sesame Street

Here are some things this decade spanning teaching tool never taught us. From the skits to some of the characters, join me as we count down 10 rather fascinating facts about Sesame Street. Update: I've recently started a separate blog where I detail various facts about various games, movies, tv shows and more. You can find it here.

#10: It's extremely successful

This toy was so popular there were reports of shoppers beating each other up to get them!

You may not know it, but this is one of the most successful shows on this planet we humans call home. Since its debut in 1969, its garnered millions of dollars in merchandise sales and aired over 4500 episodes. To put that into perspective, that's more than The Simpsons, Family Guy, SpongeBob SquarePants, Teen Titans Go, South Park and Arthur combined!

#9: Snuffleupagus was originally terrifying

Still not as frightening as Clanker.

The current Snuffleupagus might be one of the cutest things this side of kitties and puppies, but the first incarnation of him was another story. He originally had large, kinda angry looking yellow eyes and spoke in a slow, almost depressed tone.

#8: Some of the sections are lost

Where are you, episode starring the Wicked Witch of the West?

Given it's absolutely massive library, it was probably inevitable that some of the sections would be lost media. Some missing sketches include a whole episode featuring the Wicked Witch of the West, a scientist muppet who's lectures were so boring that he himself would fall asleep in the middle of them and the infamous section where Snuffy's parents get divorced.

#7: It's on both PBS and HBO

Elmo knows what's up!

Episodes of the show nowadays air first on HBO and then appear on PBS 9 months later. This is because back in 2015 PBS had difficulty paying for the show's licensing fees and HBO's much bigger net worth rectified this problem. This show also used to air on Noggin, but the time Viacom sued YouTube put an end to that partnership.

#6: Rubber Duckie hit the billboards

Somebody has talent!

Turns out this classic song was a hit with more than just the young viewers. It was popular enough to reach no. 16 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. Now that's an iconic kid's show song!

#5: Oscar the Grouch was originally orange

Talk about skin change!

The grumpy, trashcan dwelling Oscar used to have orange skin in the show's first season. According to the monster himself, he turned green after a vacation to Swamp Mushy Muddy, which was so damp that he became covered in mold and slime.

#4: Arnold appeared here before he got his own show

Arnold goes way back!

Long before Hey Arnold became one of the best known shows on Nickelodeon, the titular character appeared in several claymation shorts on Sesame Street: Arnold Escapes Sunday School, The Arnold Waltz and Arnold Uses His Imagination. In these shorts, Arnold was portrayed as a constant daydreamer rather than the helpful, kindhearted boy he'd become in his own show.

#3: Cookie monster's many quirks

Turns out there was more to Cookie Monster than his love of cookies!

We all know Cookie Monster, the blue, lovable monster whose love of cookies is so great he'll smash a safe to pieces to get some. What you might not have known, however, is that he's the only puppet on the show to have 5 fingers, while the others either had only 4 or didn't have any fingers at all. Speaking of which, he is also one of 2 characters who is left handed, the other being Ernie. Finally, the "cookies" he ate on the show were actually rice cakes with brown spots painted on them.

#2: Big Bird's costume is somewhat unique

Who knew Big Bird was a camera head?

For Caroll Spinney, being Big Bird isn't as easy as just putting on the costume and acting like an innocent child. Whenever he's in character, he wears a video harness so he can see what's going on.

#1: They'll cover nearly any topic

We still miss you, Mr. Hooper.

One of the most well known and well liked aspects of Sesame Street is its willingness to cover even the hardest topics to discuss with kids. In the past they've talked about bullying, drug use and even death. This trend even continues to this day, as more modern times have seen the show introduce a character who was autistic and shown Elmo's family grieving over the death of one of it's members.

I hope I enlightened you today. If you know of any other facts about Sesame Street, do us a favor and share them in the comments section down below. I'll see you later. Have a good day or night depending on what time it is.
