Hasta La Creative!

Delta drops an inflight safety video on the internet stuffing every internet meme from the past hundred years in it because you’ll watch anything on the internet because internet. I’m just kidding. While the usual “Charlie bit my finger,” and “dramatic hamster,” are there, they didn’t do every meme. No Chocolate Rain. No Bedroom Intruder. Apparently the “apparently” kid wasn’t available either.
Doesn’t really matter, though. As funny as it is, Weezer already did this joke in 2008 with a majority of the same memes, which makes me wonder why we are excited about seeing jokes from seven and eight years ago. Delta did update it to keep with the times, so to speak. But Doge was probably the freshest meme and even that is already two years old.
At least it’s nice to see these internet “superstars” are still getting work. Maybe another brand will trot this execution out seven years from now and we’ll all cheer like we’ve never seen it before. Our short term memory seems to be about that long.
Or better yet, maybe someone on the internet will make a new meme out of remixed flight safety videos. Between Air New Zealand which has two, and Thomson Airlines, there’s probably enough out there.
