Stephen Colbert Syndrome

The process of transitioning from a satiric depiction of a thing to the very thing you once parodied. Named after Stephen Colbert, who originally played the character right wing ideologue named "Stephen Colbert", who told yo what to think. Over time, he has become the Blue State equivalent of his earlier "Stephen Colbert" character. He has come full circle.

it's a commercial

"I'm only having a laugh." "It's just a joke." "It's only for the benefit of the TV cameras." Said in a condescending tone when you played a trick on someone and want to tell them it's only a joke. Or when you accidentally did something stupid and want to pretend it was a joke. As popularised by Michael Winner on British TV.

Coomer

The coomer (Pronounced COOM-er) is an elusive creature. It is on the list of critically endangered species and was once thought to be a myth due to the rarity of these beasts. They are said to be primarily solitary creatures, though at least half a dozen confirmed sightings of coomers in packs of 3-6 have been stated.
They are said to reside in small rooms (known as coomer nests),floors littered with custom-made waifu pillows and coom from the coomer itself.
When confronted, a coomer may become enraged, attacking the offender and in rare cases even stuffing the victim into a homemade coom jar. Coomer attacks are almost always fatal and although they do not happen often due to the rarity of encountering one, only two have lived to tell the tale.
The hide of a coomer goes for 500,000 USD, while a gallon of coomer coom goes for 1,000,000 USD on the black market. The coom of a coomer is said to have rejuvenating properties when mixed with cow urine and emo juice in traditional Chinese medicines.
My best friend went missing when hiking in a remote area of Alaska in 1993, and his body was recovered from a field a year later. The case has never been solved, but research suggests that the cause of death was likely an attack by wild coomers.

Carl's Jr commercials

Carl's Jr commercials feature obnoxious portions and combinations of food that are merely ideological in intent. Nobody would seriously eat a double six-dollar burger with bacon and guac, but they're advertised anyway. The goal is to affirm the macho, guy-like, over-the-top, gonzo style that currently defines American masculinity. Other examples include raised pick-up trucks, Calvin peeing stickers, and driving like an asshole.
There's no way that totally bangable chick riding the mechanical bull in that Carl's Jr commercial could eat one of those burgers and still have such an incredibly hot ass.
