5. The rest ot the song is not as good.
I can't remember the name, but someone posted it here a couple of months ago. I looked it up, and the part you hear on the ad is catchy and fun, but the rest is disappointing techno-crap.

6. It's by the "Vengaboys," if I recall correctly.
The title is something about "The Vengabus"..

I liked the song at first. Now its hyperactivity annoys me more than anything else.

8. Cause it is so clear he isn't old
And it is a cliche that it is funny to watch old people dance like kids

9. because it's creepy...
an ad that advocates teenagers to get on a bus with a creepy old man that they don't know? whatever...

BTW, i hear the "old man" is really a young woman just made up to look like an old man.

10. I heard it's Dana Carvey.
They gave him Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola to make him dance, and then he died in Viet Nam afterward.

It's true. I read it on the internets.

11. That Vengaboys song is a psychological weapon of mass destruction
I feel an instantaneous urge to do something violent to whatever electronic source is responsible for its poisoning of the airwaves as soon a I hear it. :mad: :nuke: :argh:

12. Because the dude isn't right facially, but he doesn't stay still
long enough for me to figure out why.

He's also got gecko fingers, these I've seen on D&D coupons.

Freaky little person, or a bizarre decision to apply makeup

16. I've been thinking about this
Does anyone else think Paul Schaefer from Letterman is starting to look like him at times?
