@IrisKalmia yeah!
like, i think people fail to consider that this is predicated on a respect for brand image. like, if cheerios makes a plausibly-deniable horny comment about bees, we all gawk because there's no way cheerios would EVER associate with that!
but we're not associating cheerios' image with that because we're so fully refusing to believe that this could happen. which really shows how we've forgotten about horny burger ads

which is like, not really something that stands up to consideration
i worked in social media, i'm not speculating on this desire to appear human. if commercials were acted out live on stages, there would be shitloads of intentional bloopers

An aquarium made a tentacle joke and it got shared all over my spaces.
Pizza company makes a "knot first" joke and every furry loses their fucking mind sharing it.
