eldritch cheeze

I have a recurring daymare where 
a demon rocks himself down stone
temple ziggurat steps with big, huge,
thundering leg thrusts,
and the chorus
goes
TOAST-CHEE: "I was worshiped like a god!!"
TOAST-CHEE: "By ignorant savages!!"
TOAST-CHEE: "I do allllll RIGHT,"
"TOAST-CHEE" Then the screen fills 
with a package of snack crackers, as the 
suave, urbane ad guy voice intones 
and assures, "Lance Toast-Chee 
snack crackers. Not affiliated 
with any ancient demon."

But fading in from behind,
we see Toast-Chee himself.
Standing sideways with his arms 
proudly crossed, meeting our gaze
and he gives us a big nod 

as if to say 
as if to say 
I don't know it's kind of cryptic
