what an overdressed, bald, toothless, hyperactive geezer has to do with 'fun.'

22. Hey, stop making fun of Senior Citizens!
Now, now you geezer haters, is this fair? How many elderly people can do the dance like that? So, it could be a young'un dressed up as a Senior. Still, you will be old one day and wouldn't you like to boogie like him instead of using your walker or a wheelchair? As a child I wanted to be able to climb trees at 80. Little did I know there may not be any left in the forests of California by the time I hit that age if Bush has his way.

30. I'm Not the One Making Fun of Senior Citizens
The actor is obviously a young whippersnapper with a bald wig.

10. That guy needs needs to be hacked apart by a Samurai
easily the most annoying character on TV, and that techno song they play is awful.

15. I can't imagine the meetings
that took place coming up with this campaign. Who didn't make the cut? Medusa? Marilyn Manson? Mr. Creosote from Monty Python?

21. I'd like to smack him, but what I really hate is the music.
Besides, if you're sitting around with friends wondering what to do for the day, are you ever really inclined to blindly follow the first geriatric fucktard that pulls up in a 1958 school bus?

24. Have you heard the radio version?
It's a narration of the TV ad. Somehow, it manages to be even worse...

25. I'd guess that the commerical is a success for them, because
everyone is talking about it. Some people like it, most hate it, but everyone not only remembers the ad but also remembers what is being advertised. So the ad has been doing its job. And the fact that there are a couple of more versions of the commercial makes me think the company must have some evidence of its success.

Last week, one of the tabloid TV shows had a piece on the "guy" (or whatever) in the commercial, but unfortunately I missed it.

27. I guess I'm the only one here who totaly ADORES that guy!
I know I shouldn't. But seein' him shake his groove thing never fails to bring a smile to my face.

But, perhaps if I watched more TV and saw it more often it would get old and I'd come around to hating him.

It's kinda hard not to feel a weird kind of affection for the guy.

36. No, you aren't the only one
I love the commercial and am fascinated with it when it comes on. I actually would like to see more of him dancing and less of the rest of the commercial.

What can I say, I'm warped.

29. Bring me his head
Though, and at least I see I'm not alone in this, it's that infernally irritating music that homes right in on my gag reflex. I hate it. Definitely makes me want to avoid any danger of heading up to my Friendly neighborhood Six Flags.

37. He would be the source of nightmares for me
as a small kid. Even when I see him on commercials today, it freaks me out. Very Pennywise the clown (clowns gave me nightmares as a kid--found out recently, I'm not the only one w/ that phobia)
