You too can be socially acceptable!

I'll add this to the list of imagery I'd never expect to see.
Seems rather odd to use the Hulk to advertise how socially loved you'll be if you buy their product. Crack-tastic!

Yup. "You too can be shot at by the United States Military every time you go out in public", would have been closer to the truth, no?

[minervasolo]

Standing on people's feet and belligerently refusing to move is socially acceptable now?

[junipepper]

Well, as long as you're polite about it... (OK, fine, it makes no sense at all.)

[fungo_squiggly]

I'm convinced. I want that shirt.

No one can resist the Hulk's renowned charisma!

[cainofdreaming]

Hulk is the most marketable one there is!

"Doombot #974, you are not a combat unit. Why is your left foot crushed?"

"The Incredible Hulk stood on it, my lord."

"And what retribution did you inflict upon him for this disrespect?"

"None, my lord. He was quite adamant about his ability to come and go where he pleased. I had no choice but to step aside and let him go on his way unimpeded"

"I see. But that does not explain why you are wearing that ridiculous sweatshirt."

"It is my passport to social acceptance. With it, I and anyone else can be socially acceptable. And each one only costs $2.98 plus shipping and handling."

"..."

"...I want you to order a thousand more of these Hulk sweatshirts in 'Gargantuan' size. None shall be more socially acceptable than Doom!"

[michaelhealy]

That reminds me of something that bugged me about the original scene with the Doombot. What retribution did he expect a non-combat Doombot to inflict anyways?

[drtechnobabel]

I would imagine such a transgression would warrant a full-on donkey-punch at the very least.

[junipepper]

I'd love to know what year this was. A sweatshirt for $2.98, wow.

[alschroeder3]

Mid-sixties. I'm older than a lot of you, I remember when that came out. 1966, 1967, something like that.

[junipepper]

Thanks. Well, I was alive, but probably not yet reading. :-)

I don't understand the toy rabbit Hulk is towing....
