Unlike real-life perfect storms, pop culture perfect storms are fun.

What entails a weather-based perfect storm:

• warm air from a low-pressure system coming from one direction
• a flow of cool and dry air generated by a high-pressure from another direction
• tropical moisture from a hurricane

What entails a pop culture perfect storm:

• video from long ago
• containing someone out of their more (in)famous context
• that features products either lost to time, or some ironic reference

The first example is this:

The ingredients (of the PCPS, not the McDLT):

• It’s an amazing 80’s commercial
• containing not only Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander, but also McDonald’s classic jingle composed by singer Sheryl Crow
• that features the McDLT sandwich, which was discontinued because of its polystyrene packaging

Another example would be Ghostbusters 2, partly due to this sequence:

The breakdown:

• This 21-year-old movie (yikes… it can legally drink!)
• containing a cameo from Whitney Houston’s bad boy, Bobby Brown, as well as this theme song
• that features not only the Sony Walkman shown in the above clip, but this adapted NES Advantage game controller:

And then there’s always this old commercial featuring Glenn Beck (you can find irony on your own… just like the Ghostbusters):
