The actors from arguably the most annoying commercial ever have reprised their roles for a more constructive purpose than selling beer. Now if only the Verizon guy would come out against warrantless wiretapping.

Watch the parody:

And the original, in case you’ve forgotten or repressed it:

This parody is almost good enough to justify the existence of the awful original.  Clever way to integrate Iraq, the financial crisis and Katrina into a very funny commercial.

God damn funny.

At first i assumed that the spot would be as inane as the original, but i’ll give credit where credit is due: it’s a good one.

Watched together, the two spots certainly give a profound picture of the track our nation has taken. It almost makes me pine for the good ole days of the roaring 90’s.
