Posted by Hemant Mehta in I hadn’t seen this Diet Dr. Pepper commercial before, but I’ll bet you can guess what I was thinking the entire time…

No… what were you thinking?
That the Flying Spaghetti Monster isn’t there because everyone knows He is real.
Definitely anti christian and anti christmas.
I laughed the first time I saw this commercial, and it still makes me chuckle.
I was thinking, “Wait, where’s Jesus?”
I always think, “Where’s Jesus?”

What would happen if they did put Jesus or a god in there?
Isn’t that backwards, if you put God there then that would be saying ‘I exist’. That’s the joke.
I think I know what you were thinking! They forgot to include the Republican atheist.

Show-off…
I believe in ‘a good diet soda’ about as much as I believe in the other things… seeing them all together only reinforced that.
‘course, I don’t like regular soda either. Ymmv.
That good diet sodas don’t exist?
I’m definitely an agooddietsodaist, and I don’t mind saying it.
I hope that commercial doesn’t burst any bubbles for the 8 and under crowd who still believe in Santa!
Reminds me of a joke.
Q. If you were in a race with Jesus, Santa, and the Easter Bunny, who would win?
A. You. The others aren’t real.
That meeting must have taken place in Imaginationland (thank you Southpark.)
i don’t believe in diet dr. pepper.
The first time I saw that commercial I wondered why god wasn’t included.
Goodness knows that Diet Dr. Pepper definitely isn’t a good, or even drinkable, diet soda. I understood why ‘it’ was there. A good diet soda doesn’t exist.
I made sure to clarify to my small children why they left the magic sky daddy out.
Leia, I beg to differ. I do believe in Diet Dr. Pepper! I do! Meaning, I love it and it’s everything it claims to be — unlike some others.
Of course, Dr. Pepper had me back in the ’70’s with their be an original commercials good, ole Barry Manilow wrote.Very Strange Medley Dr. P is at the 2:10 mark but give the whole thing a listen. If you’re a baby boomer you probably already know how Barry Manilow got his start but it’s a great trip down memory lane and I love this one’s video.
Yeah, subtle. I love this commercial. Of course, they had to leave out “God” but that only somehow points up the obvious even more and doesn’t leave the Christian nutters a leg to stand on — though I’m surprised that stops them.
I believe that Mr. Pibb kicked Dr. Pepper’s ass.
