The funniest commercial I've seen all week.

It was for some local couch place, stating they were going out of business, so we should come in and take advantage of their deals because they were closing at 8pm.

The funny thing? It aired at 8:15pm.

You think the advertising guy at that place had something to do with their going out of business?

Mountain Dew... late to the party

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIgey9NLdhk

Have you seen this commercial?

I just saw it this evening, so it could be a little older, but I watch a fair bit of TV, so I think it's newish.

The set up has 2 kids watching a video they've made which has just recieved one million views. The video in question? An ostrich with a Chuck Norris head.

HOW FUNNY!

Wait... no... I meant:

HOW LATE!


Honestly, Chuck Norris jokes were at the peak popularity almost a year ago. Had this commercial come then it owuld have been timely and funny. I remember we were at a restuarant for a friend's birthday telling these jokes, and our waitress kicked in a few new ones from the list her supervisor had posted in the back.

I haven't made a Churck Norris joke in the longest time. This ad would have been better saved for the eventual resurgence that most fads have at one time or another.

Poor show Mountain Dew. Try and be a little more up on net culture. What's next, an "o rly" owl campaign?
