After seeing this commercial about 20 times on one day, I think he’s saying “Pure Adrenaline.” ---

Are you talking about the [zip line](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TlNOwwQQJk) one (there’s a bunch of them). All I hear is “Pure. Adrenaline.” and it’s pretty clear. I don’t hear any mumbling or anything that resembles “I train a lot”. ---

Yes, the zip line. He says two things, though. Thanks! ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > I wish somebody would turn that annoying little fucker into bacon. Yeah, but it’s an improvement over the carpool thing. Besides, he’s say, "Whee! Whee!

> [@Chefguy](#): > > I wish somebody would turn that annoying little fucker into bacon. This. I thought the first commerical was annoying as hell, but some people I know gave it a few light-hearted chuckles (contrasting my rolling eyes.) The second one is just beating a dead horse. Funny that they had to have him hold the pinwheel as if to say “Hey! Remember the pig that was in our last commercial? He’s baaAAAaack, and has the same pinwheel to show that he’s the same pig!” ---

The “Pure Adrenaline.” line was funny. It tells us the pig can talk and doesn’t simply squeal “whee!!” all the way home. 😃 He’s an educated character that’s exploring his inner child or fun side. Once he’s on the zip line he’s a piglet again. 😉 These pig commercials won’t be around long. They get tiresome and irritating pretty quick. ---

You are all missing the point. The pig is the closest member of the animal kingdom to the human race\*. They are the only other creature that gets sunburn\*. They are the only other creature that can contract lupus\*. They are the only other creature that has an appendix\*. And of course we share the swine flu with them\*. The commercial is holding a mirror up to our own faces, and making us see our own inner piglet. It is both brilliant and sublime, and teaches us just a little something… about ourselves. \*Okay, I made most of that up. ---

I’ve been wondering something about this commercial, and I guess this is the place to ask. Around here, the commercial only appears in low-def quality, even in a high-def telecast. Does anyone know why? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wheeee-piggie-commercial/609746.md?page=2)
