Children of the Corn (1984): if you hit a kid in the Nebraska road that you rationalize you don't need to feel too bad about because "he was dead already" be sure to throw the body in the trunk. 100
Drastic @drastic.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Much dunking on this for the main ingredients, but the little spice I appreciate is the Ted Lasso BELIEVE sign. In the show, part of its Live Laugh Love level inspiration is that the team literally had to reach above themselves to touch it, so making sure to put it below eye level is fitting here. 000

Drastic @drastic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026My favorite Behind the Bastards ad spot recently is for "Skypop Protein Soda" because the script is roughly: "Wait, it's a soda AND has protein?" "Yes!" "AND it has zero sugar?!" "Yes!" "AND it tastes good?!" "...it's Skypop!" The pause is I assume flop sweat glance at legal counsel signaling them. 010
