Sure, TheBar.com is a thinly-veiled commercial for a liquor distributor, but it’s funny, and there’s three things you need to know about it:

  1. Jack, the virtual bartender, looks and talks remarkably like popular ldopa.net contributor “Tucker”.
  2. The site is made entirely via Flash, talks to you, and yet does not suck entirely.
  3. Be sure to ask Jack to make you a Captain and Cola.

    I asked for a chicken pot pie and he gave me a piña colada. That’s pretty disappointing.

    Earler, also corporate, sort of along the same lines: subservientchicken.com

    looks like tucker? yes.
    also acts like tucker, when tucker’s drunk.
    tucker + liquor = jack

    Another startling simularity: I know for a fact after a couple Smirnoff Ices, Tucker has also gotten into trouble with a polar bear. For a FACT.

    I feel the need to weigh in here and defend myself, but you are all correct. Except that when I drink too much tequila, I don’t adopt monkeys. I just feel like shit.

    I’m pleased to hear that you really took your time to think about it. I myself am slightly disturbed by “Jack’s” Mike Myers impression that I’m just now detecting.
