Remember this guy? I've been working on a definition for the word douchebag, and this guy comes pretty close.


Anyway, I was thinking about him today while reading somebody's term paper and recalling how this guy had had trouble with his report about space because it was too chock full of information. A quick search on the ubiquitous youtube and there are five people with this commercial uploaded! Two things struck me while watching it again for the first time in over a decade:

(1) I was surprised by the condescending tone and thinly veiled annoyance of the announcer. I hadn't realized at the time that he too knew this character was a douchebag. I guess you just figure these things out when you get older.

(2) I could actually recall lines from this from memory! I mean, I shouldn't be surprised; if you're a young TV junkie and they play this commercial thirty times during one episode of Super Sloppy Double Dare of course you're going to retain some scar of it. But why couldn't they have an equally infectious, annoying, and repeated commercial about biology or trigonometry? Maybe then I would have gotten in that AP math class.

At least I know where the mandibula is.
