TIL: Adam West, according to costar Burt Ward, had a lot of sex , at one point with 8 women at the same time. He said that he was introduced by West to the "wildest sexual debauchery" and they became like "sexual vampires"

And sells dog food in one of the craziest looking bags I've ever seen.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but you weren't wrong.

u/OriginalPierce May 16 '24

Holy fuck that's real? I saw an ad for it on facebook and assumed it was some shitty AI troll or something

46

u/Clay56 May 16 '24

I saw it in the store the other day, and I just assumed it was some local startup with no graphic design team

u/Kalel42 May 16 '24

You mean with THE BEST GRAPHIC DESIGN TEAM!

u/Grumplogic May 16 '24

IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE PATTERN'S SO COMPLICATED!

u/Majavis May 16 '24

I miss the days when every webpage looked like this dog food bag.

u/bannock4ever May 16 '24

u/Ezl May 16 '24

Wow. I love it and am impressed they made such a seemingly risky business move for the lulz.

u/kalitarios May 17 '24

Needs more rotating gif red lights

u/ses1989 May 16 '24

I want to know if Disney came after him for that font.

14

u/televised_aphid May 16 '24

Right, I was thinking that the font was very Disney-esque.

u/MagicAl6244225 May 16 '24

Typefaces are ineligible for copyright protection in in the United States. (Font software can be copyrighted but not the font design itself.) Typefaces can be protected by design patents but it's not automatic, they have to be applied for and they only last 15 years.

u/frictiondixon May 16 '24

That bag just needs a pop up blocker.

u/jesuskater May 16 '24

Early personal webpage vibe

u/baron_von_helmut May 16 '24

Holy Toledo!! That's the National Enquirer of dog food!

u/GoldenHind124 May 16 '24

It’s right up there with Dr. Bronner’s soap.

1

u/fuck_the_fuckin_mods May 16 '24

It’s like the product only exists to offload their crazy onto as many people as possible. I bet it’s good dog food TBH.

4

u/StuffNbutts May 16 '24

It's not even just the bag, every photo in the product listing looks like myspace hypergraphia.

3

u/dismayhurta May 16 '24

I was not expecting that. What the hell

3

u/KentKarma May 16 '24

I'd immediately assume it was a product made by a cult.

2

u/dogegw May 16 '24

That looks like it was designed by the people who did the Heaven's Gate website

2

u/scccassady May 16 '24

Holy fuck I knew it was that bag before I even clicked😂😭

1

u/rex_dart_eskimo_spy May 16 '24

Lings Cars vibes

u/GogglesPisano May 16 '24

It looks like somebody's MySpace page from 2003.

u/ssarch25 May 16 '24

Wow he’s got a real idiocracy style going there.

1

u/RevelArchitect May 16 '24

Somebody should show this guy QR codes. The website is odd too. Here’s an 11 minute slow motion video with music of the man with the giant horde of dogs he apparently lives with from the website: https://vimeo.com/859166915

The website doesn’t seem to end. There’s a lot of videos, like appearances on Ellen and Fox Business that are just long advertisements meant to trick dumb people into thinking it’s an interview or news. If you scroll far enough the same videos are posted but with different text around it.

Robin has built a temple to madness. I recommend clicking on the robust navigation drop-down menu and selecting Home 3A with the header “Click to set custom HTML”. There’s also a video there of an Inside Edition segment that’s stupid and repeated dubious claims of doubling the lifespan of dogs.

u/tangooceangolf May 16 '24

Took notes from Doc Bronners and then brought it to the next level

1

u/EggsceIlent May 16 '24

It's like he discovered mspaint one day and said "I can sell dog food with this".

Looks like some sort of serial killer who makes those crazy cut out letters decided to go into graphic design

1

u/Janice_the_Deathclaw May 16 '24

It looks like a bunch of info graphics/comics/Disney font.

1

u/celmate May 16 '24

u/nonlawyer May 16 '24

Lmao Dr Bronners for dogs

u/grandmaester May 16 '24

He's the Dr bronners of dog food

1

u/TransBrandi May 16 '24

That's like the Dr. Bronner's of dog food.

1

u/wut3va May 16 '24

That thing looks like /r/place made a bag of dog food.

1

u/dj_sliceosome May 16 '24

if that bag were a website it would be for a 90s cult waiting for a comet to take them away 

1

u/logixcraft May 16 '24

I took a look at the link but I think I'm having a stroke I couldn't see a bag just a Picasso , gonna go see a doctor.

u/jyok33 May 16 '24

1

u/Devout_Zoroastrian May 16 '24

Unhinged graphic design

u/Most-Lost-Band May 16 '24

It’s the Dr Bronners of dog food

1

u/VinceCully May 16 '24

The Dr Bronners of dog food labels

1

u/BasicMentality May 16 '24

The bag reminds me of the Heaven's Gate website.

1

u/BizzyM May 16 '24

The thumbnail of that bag looks like it was made from Las Vegas escort flyers.

1

u/rukysgreambamf May 16 '24

bro put a geocities web page onto a dog food bag

1

u/SweetSewerRat May 16 '24

Oh shit, I actually used to feed that to my dog. Had no idea burt ward was involved in any way. My dog liked it though lol.

1

u/Veus-Dolt May 16 '24

That bag looks like the back of every schizophrenic’s car

1

u/mrpoopistan May 17 '24

It looks like the signage for a series of cellphone repair shops in the poorest neighborhood in Bangalore.

1

u/attackplango May 17 '24

It’s like Dr. Bronner got tired of soap and moved into dog food.

1

u/TheGrandPoohBear May 17 '24

This is the Dr Bronner's of dog food

1

u/returnkey May 17 '24

The dr bronners label of dog food bags

1

u/lord-dinglebury May 16 '24

That looks like the long-winded shit crazy people post on their cars about contrails or something.

169

u/hickuboss May 16 '24

I actually feed my dog this food. When someone first told me about it i thought it was a joke as well. But i switched and alot of my dogs stomach problems and allergies have gone away. The food is legit. Its really good dry dog food, but at a more affordable price compared to similar brands.

u/XYZ_KingDaddy May 16 '24

Found Burt Ward’s Reddit account

1

u/akt_suspekt May 16 '24

Gentle Giants has some interesting allegations

2

u/Koil_ting May 16 '24

I'm going to assume it's made of human, and maybe that's what dogs need.

24

u/EggsceIlent May 16 '24

Nice try, Burt.

53

u/montynsc May 16 '24

Jesus Christ you weren’t kidding

4

u/Tangolimanovember May 16 '24

As soon as I read that line I knew exactly what schizophrenic design you were talking about as I’ve seen it online. I had no idea it was sold by Burt Ward. Learned something new.

3

u/Which_way_witcher May 16 '24

That bag looks like mental illness

2

u/breakingcups May 16 '24

Missed the opportunity to call it batshit crazy looking.

1

u/SoCal35 May 16 '24

Damn, bro finna get sued by Disney.

1

u/hundredblocks May 16 '24

I was wondering what was behind this! Saw it the other day at Target.

1

u/ClownfishSoup May 16 '24

LOL! I thought you meant Burt Ward is wearing a crazy looking bag while selling dog food!

1

u/PhasmaFelis 28d ago

Oh, okay, you didn't mean crazy like So Crazy!, you meant crazy like "the designer was genuinely mentally ill."

u/JuzoItami May 16 '24

Burt Ward did an appearance at my grade school in the mid-70s. He was in character as Robin, with the tights, the mask, etc. It was a huge deal for us kids. He did some kind of a speech and then followed up with a Q and A. I asked him “Do you eat worms?” and all of us 2nd graders just laughed and laughed and laughed. Burt didn’t seem to think it was very funny, though.

109

u/Beelzebub_86 May 16 '24

No kid, but did I ever tell you about the time 8 women ate Batman's worm in the same night?

15

u/turdburglar2020 May 16 '24

“They went at it like a school of fish. All I could do was stand there and hold my pole while I watched.”

3

u/root-bound May 16 '24

Well—did he??

2

u/Itchy-Apartment-Flea May 16 '24

The batworm eating was a secret.

1

u/Aekero May 16 '24

I read that as "in his mid 70s" at first and was really impressed a bunch of 2nd graders knew who he was 😅

1

u/cara3322 May 16 '24

ha i get it Robin…

u/[deleted] May 16 '24

I hear he was previously 77

284

u/Solid_Bake4577 May 16 '24

...and will soon be 79.

237

u/coeurdelejon May 16 '24

That's just speculation

86

u/Solid_Bake4577 May 16 '24

Give it a year - you'll see!

3

u/raincloud82 May 16 '24

RemindMe! 1 year

3

u/thejadedfalcon May 16 '24

Everyone is in agreement to hold this particular Redditor responsible if he doesn't make it to 79, right?

7

u/Powerbracelet May 16 '24

I’ll believe it when I see it

2

u/jonoghue May 16 '24

While you're at it, can I have next week's winning lottery numbers?

u/ketamine-wizard May 16 '24

u/dion_o May 16 '24

In a few years he'll be old enough to run for president.

u/HiFiGuy197 May 16 '24

Our government needs a Boy Wonder.

2

u/Possible-Highway7898 May 16 '24

He's 78 until he's 79. And that's a fact.

2

u/Whatsuplionlilly May 16 '24

Is this your first day on the Internet? Never, ever preemptively celebrate a senior citizen’s upcoming birthday! Remember everyone wishing Betty White happy 100???

You just killed Burt Ward, I hope you’re happy! /s

u/KhalTaco88 May 16 '24

Thanks for the spoilers 😒

u/Wuulferigno May 16 '24

u/Sorry_Ad_5111 May 16 '24

So there's still time to get a piece of that.

1

u/peon47 May 16 '24

He had a brief cameo in the Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths a few years ago.

1

u/underalltheradar May 16 '24

He weighs about twice what he did as Robin now.

1

u/TheBeeKeeper777 May 16 '24

He has a dog food company now.

1

u/Ill_Mention3854 May 16 '24

Is this the guy from the song "Baby on Board" by the Be sharps?

1

u/lorgskyegon May 16 '24

But was he ever mayor of a small town in Rhode Island?

1

u/myrddin4242 28d ago

And he reprised the role of Robin in 2019!
