I’m 99% certain it was a beer commercial, possibly for Miller Light. All I remember is that it was a baseball-themed commercial, and that somehow, the baseballs were, I think, replaced by fish! I believe at the end of the commercial, a runner is shown sliding into home as the catcher waits to tag him out, and I hear the announcer shouting, “He dropped the bass! He dropped the bass!”

I wanted to show this to someone, but I can’t find it on Youtube, and perhaps I’m just not remembering enough details. Help?

ETA: Oh, if I had to guess, I’d say this was in the range of 10 years old.

OK, I’m reviving my own zombie for a true story. I was discussing the commercial mentioned above with my wife just now, and it didn’t sound familiar to her. So I decided to try to Google for it. The first result led to the Dope, to which I responded, “Of COURSE there’s a Dope thread!” So I gleefully clicked on it, expecting to find that the Dope had already solved my issue…

And here I am, back in my very own thread. :smack:

And, nearly three years later, a plea on Facebook solves my mystery in less than 20 minutes.
