Damn, that Hamburger Helper album is fire. I want to put it on at my next party and see how long it takes people to notice.

No one will notice! It's that good! Though they'll have a sudden desire for macaroni and hamburger meat.

In all fairness to Westinghouse, in the 1950s, many people communicated with each other in song form.

But yeah, the Canva rap is bad. It’s like they thought they’d get some accolades just for trying hard. But then, at the last minute, they decided not to try at all.

What's not to understand? She needs a private place to cream and dream. And because of that, you should buy a new toilet. It's really quite simple.

I'm so glad to see some dreamin' and creamin' representation.

You know, I've always used the bathroom as a private oasis to dream and cream, but I felt like this was never really talked about and there's so much stigma around it.

Why should we be ashamed? I'm here for the normalization of dreamin' and creamin' in the bathroom.

Got as far as "custom solush" and couldn't take it anymore. Sorry, Canva.

You can do it! Keep going!

I was going to write that, but I couldn't decide how to write "solush." You did some excellent work there.

I've performed spoken word poetry, played hours of D&D AND performed in countless terrible improv shows, so I'd say I've built up a higher than average cringe tolerance... but that Canva video made me feel so queasy. It's on another level entirely.
