I didn't get a chance to watch all the other ones just yet. But I'm sure there super subliminal hidden evil stuff in there too.

Oh, that's easy:

Jem is for when you're a 40 year old mom of four and just want to feel your inner slut again with a soldier guy who makes innuendos. Failure to watch cat calling video.

Strawberry Shortcake is the pants. Always. And narcissistic. 'I wish it smelled like strawberries?' More like I wish it smelled like my failures.

Skeletor... he just represents the effeminate metrosexual or LGBT who wants to have it all in a minivan.

Gumby.... if you're younger than 40, your question should appropriately be 'Who the #$!@ is GUMBY'? But really, its for the 19 year old stoner kid who won't leave your basement, and is running an errand for pizza rolls while possessing his 2 legal oz of 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Why? Mysterious Cave...whoooaaaa....

I just feel such failure in this marketing, not because they're trying to appeal with cutesy retro characters, which was probably the original intent, but because the same reason we have reinvented so many 80's characters, the logic doesn't fit for a lot of stuff anymore. But that's okay, buy a Honda!
