Dogs and Ketchup - An Internet Trend?

I was trolling YouTube for some interesting videos of pets and animals for an application to TheDailyTube (using search terms such as "animal funny" and "crocodile funny") when I came across not just one, but several homemade advertisements for Heinz Ketchup.




The last one embedded is "Dan's Heinz Commercial #4," implying three preceding commercials of a similar nature. That makes a total of at least six amateur ads, three of which focus primarily on dogs' relation to the condiment.

Is this just because the "cats" in catsup makes for easy jokes? Or is there a deeper correlation between the personality type that makes amateur ads and an equally distributed affinity for pets and tomato sauce?

Also note: The similar apartments. Very Office Space.
