So I was wandering around TV Tropes and found this entry. The fact that it uses a Calvin and Hobbes strip immediately earns points, but the Dave Barry reference seals the deal, especially since I'd never heard that Barry joke before.

"Humorist Dave Barry once suggested that the commercial pitch should be, 'adjacent to this complete breakfast,' or, 'on the same table as this complete breakfast,' noting that the same claim could be made about 'a can of shaving cream, for instance, or a dead bat.'"
