    Jackass - what’s the difference between saying Sony and saying Sorny? It’s not any less of a reference to a specific brand.

    And the very direct reference is part of the joke when a comic is about how generally irrelevant the brand is, outside of specific contexts.

      I’m sorry, maybe I just don’t see the joke then. How is “Cinnabon, since this could be your last” specifically a part of the original comic’s joke? Wouldn’t it work just as well with a plane crashing while thinking of literally any other food? Replace Cinnabon with Oreo’s and I think the joke is the same. Maybe I just missed something that makes Cinnabon essential to the joke besides Cinnabon being in airports sometimes?

        You only seem to encounter this brand in airports. Oreos are commonplace. Cinnabons are not. They are an idle temptation almost exclusive to air travel, with its occasional risk of helpless death.

        The joke’s not about airplanes crashing. The joke is about Cinnabon.

        This frog is minced.

          I have seen more cinnabons in Malls than in airports. The joke is “buy cinnabon” according to you, which is not a fucking joke dipshit.

            Already mentioned malls, thanks.

            I no longer care if you understand this quite simple gag. You’ve been an unpleasant time vampire. Bye.
