I imagine a couple of months ago we might have seen this ad with Miley Cyrus’ face, tongue a-flappin’, added instead. And before that, maybe disgraced San Diego Mayor Bob Filner.
Honestly, if someone could add Filner’s face to the Late For Meeting video, I’d be over the moon.
I think it’s the lack of connection that makes it (for what it might be worth.) Juxtaposition, character foil, etc.
There seems to have been a big surge in this kind of absurd humour with the popularization of the internet, the kind people call ‘random’ but which actually isn’t. It’s like a genre unto itself. I am sure there is a grad student toiling away with an analysis as we speak.
