End Tag: It's a commercial, featuring Twister-esque style and happy kids. It's for the newest board game from Aldrin Games Unlimited: Slap Bet! The announcer says, "The slap-happy game that's a real hit." That's when the jingle kicks in. It's an upbeat version of our holy Slapsgiving hymn. Is nothing sacred? God.
You just got slapped
Across the face, my friend.
"For kids of all ages."
You just got slapped
Oh, that really just happened.
Oh, everybody saw it. HA!
Everybody laughed and clapped,
'Cause it was awesome
The way that you just got slapped
"Slap yourself silly with Slap Bet, the happy hitting game from Aldrin."
The announcer (Neil Patrick Harris) then reads the ensuing disclaimers: "No kids were actually slapped in the making of this commercial. Kids, slapping someone is a dangerous activity and should not be done."
It's winter hiatus time, which means lots of reruns, so work off your extra servings of pie in our forums. Happy Thanksgiving, and because I'm not sure how long the HIMYM hiatus will last, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, too.
