Hootie appears to have fallen on hard, hard times.
I wondered the same thing. But I can’t be sure.
That’s him.
Sad really.
It’s a funny ad, though. I always stop and watch it.
Heh. That ad always reminds me of Peewee’s Playhouse.
It isn’t just “Hootie” (you DO know that his real name is Darius right?), I noticed several other celebs in it too. I can’t remember now who - but someone. Perhaps theres a version of it on BKs website…I’ll see.
I think Carmen Electra had a line at the end. Her and Hootie were the only ones I spotted though.
Brooke something-or-other who used to do E! Wild On is sitting on a swing at the end. I was facinated by this commercial. I thought maybe I had dropped some drugs without even knowing. It was very surreal.
Brooke Burke
I thought that the band was named after some friends of theirs from college, so that no one in the band is “Hootie” or the “Blowfish.”
ignores previous post
Does this mean the Blowfish are working behind the counter at BK?
I’ve been oddly transfixed on this thing too. Apparently the Old Navy Advertising folks are still getting work.
That certainly is Hootie (Darius Rucker, but damn it he’ll be called Hootie no matter who corrects me) and Brooke Burke looking mighty tasty.
My question is if there are any other celebs in there. The people look strangely familiar, but it could just be that everyone in a western outfit looks the same. One girl has a serious Xtina look to her, but I’m guessing it just the ubiquitous group of hot commercial models.
I completely love that commercial. It’s flawless, and I dread the day they cut it down to a shorter version.
The other girl is Vida Guerra. Majorly fine ass, FHM girl. Google is your friend.
anyone remember those B.B (King) & B.K. commercials? That was a sad, sad day…
Man, Hootie/Darius registered in my mind for all of 0.01 seconds until they started showing all the … ahem … spokeswomen. They certainly know how to advertise whatever it was they were advertising. And hard times? What? If somebody pitched that commercial to me I’d be on it like a … well, like a rockstar on hot chicks in cowboy uniforms.
Isn’t that her natural state? I mean, that woman couldn’t be ugly if she wanted to. She could forgo hygeine and start clubbing baby seals with baby pandas and I still wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers.
You’ve got the story right, but the public has spoken on this one: Darius is Hootie whether he likes it or not, and the other dudes are Blowfish whether they like it or not.
I was watching this commercial, and the only other thing that would make it perfect:
When the “milk maids” are doing their little jig, that should have been Ashley Simpson!
And the shortened version is playing now, Brooke Burke now has a line!
Saw this ad for the first time yesterday. Surreal. Hootie and the hotties.
The song he’s doing, by the way, is “The Big Rock Candy Mountain,” an old folk tune about a hobo’s fantasyland (with the lyrics altered to promote BK products, of course).
