Yeah these flat screen tv’s don’t come in that big of a box. Better luck next time Richie.

you might be able to live in their Richie!

Where are the air holes?

Don’t fall for the Trojan tv box!

One time I was 33 years old.

With housing prices as they are these days, who CANNOT live apart from his or her follks?

Trojan-Man

Toss a Tasmanian devil in there and see the fun erupt!

The dad might be thinking, “But what if it really is a TV?”

Can he set up his box in the back yard?

Ritchie Cunningham? He never aged did he?

Nice box! …better than livin’ in a van down by the river!

Big screen TV boxes aren’t that deep anymore. The old big screen CRTs were monstrously heavy.

Considering where he is at the moment, I wonder if Bleeb is preparing for observation or basking in post observational bliss.

Dad probably still wants the big screen tv though

Will that even fit in the basement?

A classmate of mine got kicked out of his parents house when he was 18. He didn’t really have any place to go, so he hung out around town and late at night he snuck home to sleep on their lawn in a sleeping bag. I left for boot camp a couple of weeks into all that and I never found out how it turned out.

This is something I do not understand. I left home on my 18th birthday and reported to Basic Training. The only times I returned to my parents home were for visits. I got busy with life, went to college on the GI Bill, married and worked, even if it were a couple of jobs at a time. I don’t understand kids moving back home with mom and dad unless there is a dire circumstance like a medical issue.

This one is hilarious!

Bleeb is really hidden in this one. No spoiler.

So glad my kids are happy and successful.

That’s definitely the big box of an old CRT TV. The new boxes are much slimmer and unsuitable for habitation. (That’s probably why they weren’t fooled by the picture on the box.)

What the H is Dad smoking? :)

Take him back. When you get old, he can take care of you instead of shipping you off to a nursing home.

Dear, fetch me my machete to cut that thing open!

Thank you John, made my day, hysterical burst of laughter after reading the copy, well not really hysterical but really big, I reread it and it still giving me a big laugh, and I don’t have any kids and it’s still funny. OK Bravo!…

Creative, you must admit……
