I nominate the coors light Wingman commerical as one of the top 10 of all time. Dispute this, I dare you! :wally
For those of you who have yet to catch it, here are the lyrics:
This chicks rockin your world on the dance floor.
But she’s towing an anchor
A junior investment banker
who’s talking about her self and not mooooore
So buy her a beeeer
it’s the reason you’re hereee
mighty wingmaaaan
you’re takin onnnne for the team
so your buddy can live his dreeeaaam
winnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggg maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
It was sorta funny the first time I saw it. I changed my mind after the other 8,476 viewings.
A pox on you!
Next you’ll tell me that The Office Linebacker superbowl spot wasn’t the funniest damn thing on TV this year! :o
Which one was that?
The one when Terry Tate is running around beating the piss out of people in the office when ever they screw up
::while standing over a guy he just ran down an tacktled::“YOU Terry Tate: YOU KNOW YOU NEED A COVER SHEET ON YOUR TPS REPORT RICHARD!! THAT AINT NEW BABY!!!”
Female worker: “Hi Tery”
Terry Tate: “Hi Jance”
I love the wingman commercial!
I love the wingman commercial, but I absolutely hated the office linebacker.
Was wingman for Coors or Bud?
It’s Coors. I downloaded it off Kazaa
You changed your mind after 8.476 viewings?
You, dear sir, have yourself some stamina! Most of us would have ceased to find it amusing after viewing #100.
I resent the commercial because they’ve got it all wrong. Your wingman is not there to take the hit for you; he’s there to make sure you don’t get shot down, and vice versa. Annoys me the same way when people use “panned out” to mean something good. Blah.
Nope.
“who’s talking about her self and not much mooooore”
Ethilrist, you’ve severely limited the duties of the wingman.
First off, it’s not vice versa. There is only one wingman in a given situation, the other person is the primary. The wingman’s jobs are multiple - to distract peripheral targets, to generally assist in any way possible, scout out terrain, as well as take a hit for you. In fact, I’d say that “taking one for the team” is the most important job the wingman has.
Indeed. “This chick’s rockin’ you’r bro’s world on the dance floor.”
You are automatically wingman. You laugh at all his jokes (even if he’s stealing your best ones), you insist that his grandiose statements of personal wealth/achievement are the gospel truth, you distract his (and her) friends who are potential embarassments.
And, if you must, you fall on the grenade. I know we’re mixing metaphors here, but it’s the most important and courageous thing the wingman can do, and should entitle him to drink free next time, if not the pick of the targets.
OMG, I love that commercial…just the “You owe me SOO bigtime” look on the wingman’s face…priceless.
Count me in for the Wingman lurve. That commerical cracks me up every single time I watch it! Also loved the office linebacker, btw.
And most of the ESPN commericials, like the one where they have grass inside the building. Hee.
I was just thinking last night about how much I like that commercial. Most of the recent spate of Coors commercials have been pretty good, actually. Far better than the dullsville MGD spots with Kiefer Sutherland droning on about “keep what’s good” or whatever.
And of course the SportsCenter commercials are genius.
According to Maxim, any anecdote told in a bar can be exaggerated 50% before anyone ca call bullshit. When being told to impress a woman, it raises to 400%. Just so everyone knows.
I can’t really dispute the Wingman ad as one of the top 10, but I will mention Bud Light’s Real American Heroes radio ads. They would rank higher.
Only now they aren’t Real American Heroes because of September 11. Now they’re Real Men of Genius. I heard one on the radio last night.
I suppose what I meant was more like “after 8,476 viewings, my opinion is considerably different.” I usually get tired of a commercial after I see it half a dozen times in an hour, which happened with this one pretty quick.
