Oops all berries!

Hmm... the potential was there... but he didn't hit any of it... too much focus on the n-word... I'll never understand that one... that word is SO embraced by comedians... but you can never erase a line of separation at one end, while growing it at the other end... and wonder why the line isn't going away. The line (word) is moving (evolving?)... but it won't disappear while "cool people" (comedians, and/or anybody perceived as hip) keep it trendy.

Anyway... here's the comedic problem... Cap'n Crunch is loaded with potential comedy... The cap'n always sounded like a drunk to me... and hey, an old man that's stalking children... trying to get kids to sail off with him on his boat? To be honest, I think cap'n crunch is really Mr. Magoo in disguise... and what's up with Cap'n Crunch anyway? Is there a better way to completely shred the roof of your mouth then eating a bowl of that? Who's in charge of sharpening all those little squares anyway? Did you know that "crunch-berries" is naval slang for week-old DINGLE-berries?


Hmm... whatever... I'm not even trying... but at least there's some jokes there. I didn't witness a single joke in that guy's delivery... it's just talking about the product in a matter of fact way with no real clever angles... just the n-word peppered in a whole lot. I gotta' say that I also do not get it.
