The original mascot for the Taco Bell ad campaigns died from a stroke on Tuesday night. The dog continued to work throughout much of her life, but had been mostly retired and was living out her days lying in the sun. Her trainer said, "When Gidget's on a set, she comes alive. Otherwise, she was happy to sleep for 23 hours and 45 minutes a day." quote: "When Gidget's on a set, she comes alive. Now, that would be something to see!  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-22-2009 04:19 PM                     I'm guessing the hatred that filled the MJ thread will not be in this thread.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-22-2009 04:45 PM                        I heard Gidget liked ... chicken.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

I hated that dog. I hate most small dogs, especially chihuahuas. They are soooo annoying and ugly as all sin. And most of them just sit there and tremble. They deserve death. Paris Hilton only carried one around with her to make her look a bit better by comparison. YAY!!!  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

Around 2000-2001, there used to be a website you could go to and "kill the taco bell dog" by dragging various Taco Bell menu items into its' mouth. With each item, the dog got fatter and fatter until it finally exploded all over your computer screen. It was very funny, in a Bugs Bunny-ish 'cartoon violence' sort of way. I always found the TB dog slightly annoying, and this website was a good way to 'vent'.  |  IP: Logged Galen Murphy-Fahlgren Master Film Handler Posts: 405 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Oct 2007 posted 07-22-2009 11:55 PM                     I'd bet that without these awful commercials, we wouldn't have been graced with such movies as Beverly Hills Chihuahua. That would've been a loss, because the first trailer for that movie was the single worst mixed piece of film I ever saw. The first time I heard it play, I ripped it from the print and threw it in the trash. It was so loud, I would've had to run the processor at 5 to be tolerable, versus the 6.8 I normally ran in that auditorium. So, basically, good riddance to a stupid dog. I'm more of a cat person anyways.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-23-2009 12:30 AM                     And.... we're off, thanks to Redifer!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-23-2009 04:35 PM                  I didn't find the Taco Bell dog that annoying. BUTT! I would shoot on sight that fucking annoying dog in the Bush's Baked Beans commercials and that POS GEICO Insurance goddamn LIZARD POS Gecko...I hope all involved rot in hell!

The sound mix of that trailer is definitely attributable to Gidget the dog!  |  IP: Logged
