Have they ever actually been close to one? Raccoons are assholes.

"Yeah, that's just a common misconception amongst raccoons!"

This quote has just been rattling about in my head since 1996. I remember it was from a LAZ-E-BOY commercial. I remember two raccoons did a mission impossible style break in on the store just to sit in their chairs.

Everything else about the commercial? Including what that line was about? I have no idea. But it still makes me laugh almost 30 years later.

............how the fuck.........

Ok, that was a lot less mission impossible than I thought. Unless there was an alternate version where they came down the chimney on a rope, hanging from the ceiling.

But seriously though, this is probably the same commercial that I was thinking of. How the hell did you just find a 30 year old commercial at a moments notice based on a vague and mostly wrong description?

Here I was thinking people were going to call me out for saying theres no way I'd remember the phrase if I can't remember the commercial, and then YOU show up!

.......are you Jesus?

Not Jesus. It was quite easy to find from your description (laz-e-boy, racoons, 1996)

That's what Jesus would say! I'm on to you 👀
