Reminds me of this TUMS Commercial.
Yeah, that’s why the commercial made me go “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?” For many people, Miracle Whip tastes really bad, anyway. Not the association you want people making with your product. I know the guy said, “Everybody’s gonna be there,” but my response was, “Really? Isn’t that like saying everybody’s coming?”
You’re sure he said party, not potty, right?
The latter would be a much more accurate description of the experience of eating Miracle Whip.
How did the joke go originally, then? Like, how does it work as an insult?
The “party in mouth” reminds me of all the commercials which state, afa their product is concerned, “size really *does * matter”, which seems to be a smirky reference to cock sizing. In today’s world, it’s getting increasingly difficult to be “naughty”.
We would say to each other, “I hear there’s going to be a party in your mouth. And that everybody’s coming.” That’s basically it. Yes, juvenile, I know. But that’s the way teenage boys’ minds work. And the commercial’s fault is not really about taste. It’s more like emphasizing the resemblance between Miracle Whip and semen.
I could swear I have a genuine memory from the early 1980s of an ad – prior to the use of the line on the Simpsons – for some food product aimed at children in which one of the actors says the like “It’s like a party! In my mouth!” But, like Marley, I can’t pin anything down. Maybe the Simpsons’ writers really hit the nail on the head of satirizing advertising of the era in such a way that its indistinguishable from real advertising.
Reminds me of a scene in “The Gunslinger” series by Stephen King where Roland sees one of the characters eating a sandwich covered in mayo and compares it to semen.
GROSS!
EW!
DISGUSTING!
People still eat Miracle Whip?!
Miracle Whip is the devil. And what kills me is that people around here call it mayonnaise as though they are the same thing. They are NOT. I spent my whole childhood hating “mayonnaise” when it was in fact Miracle Whip.
And I never before got the party in my mouth reference until now.
There’s a “Pop Rocks” (I assume fake) commercial on youtube involving a female student giving a bj to her teacher for a better grade, with the bj sup’d up with Pop Rocks.
Now there’s a party in her mouth! (Although the phrase is not spoken.)
There’s a party in my mouth, and some asshole’s set the couch on fire.
There’s a party in my mouth and somebody’s puked on the living room carpet.
There’s a party in my mouth and somebody’s spilled the bongwater.
