Nausea, heartburn, indigestion... upset stomach, diarrhea . . . Just How Much Ken Jennings Can Anyone Take?
Can you imagine the tryouts for this commercial? What part are you going for? Diarrhea . I'm trying for nausea. Hope you get it. Good luck with diarrhea. Thanks.
All together now . . . Let's sing it out, loud and clear. It's the 2004 Television Summer Season's advertising anthem.
Nausea, heartburn, indigestion... upset stomach, diarrhea . . .Enough already . . .
As you started singing, I know your eyes shifted ('cuz we all know the words, don't we?) immediately right at the smiling, almost maniacal photo of the (now) most famous software programmer on the planet, Jeopardy's Ken Jennings.
As Ken heads for a million bucksthis week ($920,960 as of 7/11/2004), I know I'll be pulling for some hotshot college kid to bounce in an knock him off the top of his annoying mountain. One thing for sure . . . After almost 30 weeks of the Ken and Alex game show, I think we can all use a swig of PB.
Anyone that's turned a television set to the 'on' position in the last 45 days has no doubt had the smile, make that the annoying smile of Ken Jennings indelibly impregnated on their memory as quick-clicking Ken bubbles his way (effortlessly) through a myriad of questions ranging from Egyptian hieroglyphics to punk rock groups from the late 1990s.
"I'll take Malaysian Fruit Pests With Encrypted Names for $2,000, Alex" . . . And it's the Daily Double too . . . Imagine That!
I digress . . . back to the PB advertisement . . .
There are two things that come to mind whenever I hear that Pepto-Bismol melody. The first is the face of Ken Jennings.
Seriously! It is! Why would I lie? Trust me!
And then, I can't help but think of the woman (way to the right) in the Pepto advertisement, whose claim to fame will someday be . . .
"Oh yes, your mommy was the "diarrhea girl" in all the Pepto-Bismol ads back in 2004." (And as an added bonus, I learned how to spell diarrhea.)
Here are a few links to help you pass the time between coffe-break and lunch. Here's the Pepto-Bismol Home Page , their FAQ Page and some PB History.
Maybe if you're lucky, you can actually get the commercial to play right there at your home or office computer.
OK! OK!
