Back in the day, there were anti-littering ads in the US where someone threw trash out of a car window and then it panned up to a Native American with a tear in their eye. The camel friend was Joe Cool, the mascot for Camel cigarettes. He was brought down by appealing to kids.
You guys probably aren't old enough to remember Joe Camel, the cartoon mascot for Camel cigarettes- He was in every Camel ad for years until parents groups filed a lawsuit. Joe Camel was spoofed in some early episodes of The Simpsons, too- He can be seen throwing packs of Laramie cigarettes out to kids in the episode where Lisa enters the beauty pageant.
RJ is named for RJ Reynolds, owner of Marlboro cigarettes, and is modeled after the classic “marlboro man” from the old cowboy-themed ads. Joe Camel was a way-cool camel designed to market camel cigarettes to minors.
@@0okamino I was a pre-teen at the time, and Joe Camel was definitely targeted at me at that age, being a cross between James Bond and the Fonz. I wanted to be him so bad.
That said, I still think the joke works just as well without that context. Implying that Kif's love life has been so pitiful, that he thinks merely kissing qualifies as making love. Or, if not necessarily thinks that, he's willing to accept it as qualifying.
They're not "stealing" anything. You're allowed to show 10-15 minutes of clips of a tv show if you're adding commentary. Which is what they're doing. 🙄 It's not illegal and it's not considered theft, so why are you even bringing this up? Especially considering how wrong you are?
@@LadyBeyondTheWall I *highly* doubt you're legally allowed to upload almost half an entire show for free by adding your "commentary". Just because UA-cam allows this theft doesn't make it legal nor moral. Are they transforming the content they're watching by interjecting their uninformed opinions? Of course not lmao please show me the law that allows the theft of other people's work as long as you show under 15 minutes of it hahaha
@@NickyDusse ffs. Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976 allows for "fair use" of the content for the purposes of comment and criticism. Which includes what you've randomly decided is "uninformed opinions". Edit: Not to mention, "Fair Use" is especially allowed when it's not for profit, and these channels don't profit at all when they're reacting to copyrighted content. Which is why so many of them create their own merch and make use of Patreon in order to make money for the time it takes to do all of this. So honestly, what's your problem?
@@NickyDusse So I mean, since I showed you what law allows channels to do this do you still think it's somehow illegal or is it just down to "immoral" now?
@@NickyDussehave you been under a rock? Reaction channels have been around for almost a decade. And went through legal changes to the site because of them in that time period.

I was a teen when that was big.
I never understood why her parents hated Kif so much. They introduced her to him!
He was a captain at the time. But then he lost the ship.
Grandchild fatigue.
That was Joe Camel the "mascot" of the camel sigaret
the kiff and zapp spinoff is actually a really good idea. i would watch that!
Great reaction!
Mom! Dad! Don't ask me to choose!!

I generally listened to metal and punk as a teenager, so I didn’t really get how a jazz musician camel was supposed to appeal to me.

Also his nose and jowls looked like male genitalia- subliminal advertising at its best.
"I am the man with no name. Zapp Brannigan, at your service."
It's quite rich of the Wongs to dislike Kif considering they're the ones who presented him to Amy.
You guys should watch "Where the Buffalo Roam" it's about Hunter S Thompson. Also Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas if you haven't seen it.
I guess this proves that Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man are either too old or too US-specific to be remembered by millennial brits
I think they did consider a Kif and Zapp spinoff actually
👌love your content guys thx you
Bender and zoidberg are the best characters.
You guys should changed ending picture to your faces on kip and zap.
Yet another Kif W
They are laughing not realising the meaning of "just made love second time"... wait till it be explained in later episode!
That said, I still think the joke works just as well without that context. Implying that Kif's love life has been so pitiful, that he thinks merely kissing qualifies as making love. Or, if not necessarily thinks that, he's willing to accept it as qualifying.
Not sure why this isn't showing up in my subs yet.
Now it has.
You guys don't know 90% of the references here...
And also the other 10%.
:) Marlboro Man and Joe Camel
First episode that’s kind of a dud for me. Zapp is always good though.
I wanna remind you that you forgot adding ninjago episodes and you got 500 likes long time ago
At least the content you're stealing was made by a large network who won't really care about your theft.
