Little Caesar's has a long tradition of retardedly-stupid-yet-somehow-funny commercials. I remember one from the mid 90's when they were selling huge (like several feet long) pizzas. To this day I still say "I don't think he was payin' attention'."

They make me feel uneasy.

Is it the same person on both ends of the phone? They are VERY similar, but clearly not the same person (I think). They all have similar features and body styles, but they are juuuuuuuust a tad off.

I am disheartened that that "Happier than Eddie Money running a travel agency" Geico commercial is still on. It's not so much the song (although I hate that song), it's the two people persistently trying to remind him of what they really wanted, as if they don't recognize that he's singing a song.

Thank you. I didn't know it was possible to have anything but music stuck in my head until I had this trailer in there the other morning. I hope it loses a ton of money and ruins genre comedies for the next twenty years.

Lions rely on the element of surprise for hunting, they can't run for more than a short burst and are slower than gazelles. A gazelle with NVG would be able to see the lion coming way before it gets dangerous for it, it could just take off at any time and there's nothing the lion could really do about it.

Oh my God, I loathe that commercial. They actually stopped showing it for a time but brought it back last week. When I hear "Are we all set?" I rush for the remote to press the Mute button.

This and the witch in a broom factory one are the only ones of these I've enjoyed. All of the other ones either made no sense or were plain unfunny. The Gallagher one isn't particularly funny, but he does appear to be having some fun, and is in failing health in real life, so I sort of give that one a pass. The other ones I've seen are just annoying. Why would Colombus be happy with a speed boat? There's no way those things could make it across the Atlantic.

Does the Kidz Bop version of this song feature a bunch of American kids singing in Korean? That has the potential to be hilariously bad.

All I heard from the ad was the 'op op op op' bit from the chorus and then the kids singshouting 'EEEEEEEY PRETTY LADAAAAY' under the announcer's voice so I'd say it's on that level already. This preview should be proof enough!

I don't know anyone it appeals to and I don't think I know anyone who knows anyone it appeals to, but they've made 23 of the goddamned things so I guess somebody's buying it.

I'm more curious about what amusement park they rented out so they could film 20 seconds' worth of kids lip-syncing songs from the CD while doing amusement parky things.

I had a friend whose mother would buy them for his younger sister, like pre-kindergarten age young. So basically it's pop music for babby. As for the current commercial, it looks to me like it was filmed at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. I wonder if the week stay at a resort on a tropical island was the whole point of whoever was in charge deciding to film there.

I worked at walmart 2 christmases ago, and this lady came in asking for music for teenager's, I brought her to the cd area and showed her stuff like katy perry or taylor swift. she replied "oh that stuff is far too vulgur for my 14 year olds" and grabbed a bunch of kid's bop cd's off of the end of rack shelf...I really felt sorry for those kids.

So, to answer your question, parents of young kids, like 8 or 9 year olds, or parents who think taylor swift is a dirty vulgar whore, so it's better to have little kid's sing her songs. I always find the commercials hilarious because this is supposed to be "kid friendly" but the lyrics that aren't obvious, remain the same so you have 10 year olds singing about how they're a slave for a dude.
