Introducing Joker-O's!

[thehefner]

I just saw a box of Corn Pops or some such cereal proclaiming to include, as a prize, "Free DARK KNIGHT stickers!" For a movie that--by all accounts--is going to be a hard PG-13 (the Joker alone, not to mention what we might see for Two-Face, could scar children for life), this is kinda fucked up.

Really, if they're going to do that, they should just go all the way with the idea Bloo and I came up with not too long ago for a hot new breakfast cereal:



Heya kiddies! Tired of the same old boring, humorless breakfast?



LAME.

Well fret no more, you little pencil-chewers! Start the most important meal of your day as if it's your last with JOKER-O'S: the breakfast the smiles back!

But what's that, Mom and Dad? Worried about stuffing your hyperactive brats with even more sugar-packed junk food based around questionable role models?



Don't be THAT parent!

Feed 'em Joker-O's instead, fortified with Smilex and Vitamin J, and watch as the pounds melt away! Literally! ALL of them! Best of all, Joker-O's stay crunchy even after you're dead!

Now I know what you're thinking: "But what does the box even look like? Where do I get this wonderful cereal?" Well, that's the gag: chances are, you've bought 'em already! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Joker-O's: Why so cereal?




Health benefits of Vitamin J have not yet recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration, but they will if they know what's good for 'em. Consumption of Joker-O's may not actually result in death, but whatever doesn't kill you makes you more interesting.

I bought Cheerios with a mini-Joker inside last week. Now, I didn't buy them specifically because of the prize, but I squeed about it nonetheless.
He's posed with his arms up, as though he were tearing out his hair, and his leg is hinged on a spring so he kicks things. He's my Bad Day At Work totem.

Come on, Fuzzy, I wouldn't eat them!

*giggles*

ahaha, he KICKS THINGS!

dude, I need me some Cheerios. (of all the existing cereals, Cheerios are ideal for Joker. hahaha!)

I had to google it to see just what the hell that couple possibly look like. Oh god, I love it. This is all so, so wrong. I cannot wait for the film to come out and piss off hundreds of parents nationwide for being so dark and disturbing.

Joker-O's: Why so cereal?

I cannot explain how hard I just laughed.

I'm not sure if Bloo came up with that one or if I did. Either way, as it was clearly the whole reason why I made up this whole post in the first place, your reaction is very much appreciated. :)

Oh come now. If they existed, you'd be all over them. Just like I would with Harvey Dent's Coin Pops, the saaaaaadest breakfast in the whole world.

I love the Coin Pops... 200% more angst than your leading cereal, and 50% more likely to kill you!

it was sort of a serendipitous combination - Steen's fiancee says cereal instead of serious, as in "for cereal", and she started saying it and I got it from her.

I think Joker-Os were yours, but "why so cereal?" was definitely a combined effort.

I really REALLY want a cereal icon for this.

A WINNER IS YOU.

And when he's just standing there, the spring causes his leg to turn out and forward. . .

I have a tiny, big-headed Joker doing the softshoe across my desk. I feel the need to make him a word bubble that says "Hotcha-chacha-cha!"
He fits right in with my tiny model of Munch's The Scream and my stuffed pirate.

To be fair, he's only one of 4 different figures that come in the Cheerios. I think there's also a karate-chopping one.

*doffs bowler derby* I aims ta please. :)
