Yes it is too bad AdCritic is dead. Its like who the hell decieded that comercials couldn't generate sufficeint revenue to stay afloat in bullish(it) times. That dell kid is no doubt getting play but he's an NYU kid, meaning that if you can't get any in NYU you never will.(Easy as shooting fish in a barrels says I) Add on the fact he's recognizable with out him knowing who you(read average teenage NYU freshman) are and you've got Crazy Eddie like fame status (Minus the insanity, tax fraud, and humorus salesmanship, but triple the annoying voice and attitude and your left with a person in need of a reality check served with walking papers_)

Don't be mad at Mike. He's been angry with angst that his little brother's character was the star of the show(pete and pete) and had less than ten lines an episode. I almost miss cable for reasons of NickatNite and the Cartoon Network(Space Ghost Coast to Coast would get me laughing like a child again).

Ad's I like are about fast food. Coming from the east coast Carl's Jr. + Jack in the box are pure comedy. It's like a contest to see who can talk the most smack about their competitor. I particulatrly like the Carls Jr. There's no nuggets in a chicken ads. They have a baby eating gum from underneath a table, the tag line reads, "kids will eat anything you give them". "Why not give them all white meat chicken strips from the breats." Kooo-stanza(hum tune by menen)

Jeters a team player who's got champion ship rings. He's pretty cool from what I've read. A-Rods has not had the effect that he wanted but is still one of the highest paid profesional athletes to ever put on a uniform and play a game. Its interesting after a team loses a money talent media starlet they tend to suck it up and do very well. It has a name but I've since forgotten it.

Yeah, Ben is in college - my college. I can't comment on any "play," but I see him walking around almost daily, so just by sheer averages (the kid covers a lot of ground), he should be doing alright. I actually caught him in a dramatic role in a student production, and he wasn't at all bad - however, the spectre of "DUDE, YOU'RE GETTIN A DELL!" will haunt him forever, I'm sure.

He's in our college, Nick? Nice.

Raza, want an autograph? I'm sure there's a teenage uberg33k female somewhere in seattle yearning for a picture of him to fall asleep to.

Maybe not.

Hahaha ... I'd totally accept his John Hancock if it were forthcoming.

Wait, that didn't sound right.

But seriously, my policy about autographs is only to accept them from cut-rate celebs, so our boy Ben most certainly qualifies. He can make it out to "Raza, you suck." I swear.

That didn't sound right either.

There was an article (requires WSJ.com subscription) in the WSJ last Thursday about him.

From the random old-school actors list, I offer, Danny Cooksey… for no other reason than this picture of his band, Bad 4 Good. It seems Danny beat out all these "hip and the hop" artists with substituting numbers/letters for words. Britney's "I'm a Slave 4 U" comes to my mind as an example; however, that's only because I spent all day at work making banner-ads and graphics using her photos. I  heart  Britney.

Britney banner ads? Oy. Like we don't get bombarded with her fake boobs enough.

I'm hoping the "Dell dude" ads are on their last legs -- it's a case of ad agency and client hitting on a decent commercial and mistakenly thinking just one element is what makes it good, rather than the whole thing coming together to be good.
Or something. I dunno.

Oh. My. God. Wasn't Danny li'l red-headed stepson Sam during the decadent anything-goes decline of Diff'rent Strokes? The years have not been kind to him. He looks like he was voted "Most Likely To Rape an Inanimate Object" in his graduating high school class. And I also don't like how I've seen him shirtless now. That's gonna haunt me.

Oh heck, we've already dug ourselves a hole here: check out Dustin Diamond's band. He also teaches chess. In Hollywood, that's called being a "triple-threat." Or irrelevant.

Someone thinks dustin diamond is an ass.

doorman: "Hey... You been working out?"
screech: "Yeah... I got a six-pack, man. Started out with a 40!"

Oh yeah... for Andrew:

Hehe ... nice, very nice.

As for Screech ... I guess I can understand why DD would be embittered. The rest of the Saved By the Bell cast all seem to have settled into some sort of lucrative mediocrity -- ersatz softcore porn, tv movies, soap operas, more tv movies -- but he's apparently (according to that MeFi thread) living in a flophouse with his estranged father. Unpretty.

Actually, I wonder whatever became of Mr. Belding. Last I heard, he was playing the dad in a dinner theater revival of Small Wonder. (With Carrot Top as Harriet and Chastity Bono as Jamie. Special guest appearance by Rebecca Pidgeon as Vicki.)

Speaking of sitcoms of my grade school era, Saved by the Bell's Tiffani "I'm too cool to have a middle name now" Thiessen and Alyssa "I have two bosses now, wanna touch 'em?" Milano have got to be the reigning queens.

Ooh yes.

Hankins, stop hawking your wears! i KNOW how much you loved that one.

Thanks, Justin. I needed that.

Last night I saw a Dell-dude commercial that was eerily similar to those ATA commercials with the bug-eyed fat man. I mean the derivative ones, where Mr. Bug-eyes is on a white background doing strange pantomimes of airplanes and the three stooges. Anyway, Dell-dude was narrating in addition to doing silly mimes, but I'm pretty sure it still means his days are numbered.
