Things Real People Don’t Say About Advertising Is My New New New… New Favorite Tumblr

Tumblr is just great, ain’t it? The range of things you can find on it is far wider than I can wrap my mind around. Like this one, called Things Real People Don’t Say About Advertising. You can say that it’s a bit of a commentary on the state of advertising (as The AV Club surmises at the source link), but I just enjoy the level of insincerity in these very, very sincere looking images and the statements that accompany them. Oh Internet, you win again.

The Internet Wins: Area 51 Has 11 User Reviews on Google Maps
Don’t ask me why I for whatever reason decided to search for Area 51 on Google Maps. MAYBE I’M AN ALIEN!? Anyway, boredom causes nerds to do odd things, but I have to say,  finding 11 user reviews for “Area 51” amused me greatly. A taste:

When I wrecked my Marklar Probst5, the staff @ this 51 place was quick to help doctor us up and get everybody back on our way!! Only complaint is  the food was subpar and the medical deductable for an anal probe, that I  did not want, was $5000 earth dollars! Other than that, I completely  agree with Phelgbort, you really don’t get medical service like this  back on Phleemn. I’m low on space cash, any well phalanged tricks on  this side of the Milky Way?


You just don’t get hospitality like this back home on Phleemn.

And my favorite:
When my ship crash landed the medical staff did   not hesitate to come help us and bring us to the base and treat us.   Food was great too, friendly staff, even an amusement park underground   for the youngins. Definitely a great place to take the family. Only got   probed once too. Even have an Earth baseball field. We’re going again   next year!
Excellent work, Internet!

Sometimes, the Internet wins. Sometimes… well you’re not really sure, actually.
Meet Reddit user Contra3, who apparently got cheated on by his girlfriend. He wasn’t too happy about that, so he used her Netflix account to rate movies in such a way that she got this page of recommendations. Win? Or huge waste of time when a text message saying “skank.” might have sufficed?
Bambi was a nice, albeit confusing touch. He’s not planning to shoot her mother, is he?

Sometimes, the Internet simply wins, and you can’t say anything to dispute that fact. Go ahead, try. But wait until you finish watching this video of what it’d look like if the brilliant Daniel Day Lewis vehicle There Will Be Blood was adapted as an SNES game. You see, in the 90s, every single movie ever made at the time was adapted into a video game, so it makes utterly perfect sense that this game would exist had the movie been made at the height of the SNES’ popularity.

There are movie spoilers I guess, though they’re ridiculously out of context so if you’ve never seen the movie you probably don’t have anything to worry about. Still, I figured I’d cover my bases before anybody calls me a jerkface for spoiling my favorite movie from 2007 for anybody who hasn’t seen it. Is it hilarious, especially if you’ve seen the movie? Yes. Is it oddly nostalgic in a way? Yes.

What other very recent movies would make hilariously awkward video game adaptations in the early to mid-90s? My vote goes to Inception. Hearing the sound played when you press the button behind this link* in 16-bit fashion every time you gain an extra life might have been the best thing ever.

*That link and the button contained within is, by the way, another pure Internet Win.
