There are, like, 25 of these (don't miss the second page)! Especially funny because they seem to be totally without irony.&nbsp;</p>

<br>

<p>It even has a so-bad-it's-good theme song called (what else?)&nbsp;<a href="http://selleckwaterfallsandwich.tumblr.com/post/343399016/the-official-selleck-waterfall-sandwich-theme-song" target="_blank">The Official Selleck Waterfall Sandwich Theme Song</a>.
