Comment please: Idea -- OfficeMax brings back the ad campaign but with a white guy - they originally had an amount of negative feedback claiming stereotype black guy. After a short while they bring back Eddie Steeples. They also make one change in that the charactor says- "OfficeMax" at the end. - another issue was that people remembered the ads but didn't remember if they were for Staples, Office Depot, or OfficeMax. Publicity galore,good and bad-but on balance--do you think this would work?
OH MY GOODNESS I remember this commercial :D I used to be crazy about recording christmas specials to watch later with my sister and I ended up recording this with them :> Such happy memories.
I like how you think he's going to have something for the kid to get his tongue unstuck but instead gives his friend a camera. And later she's cranking out prints! And the most obvious Rudolph homage, when the Abominable shows up with bling on to sing bass, that's classic.
@CesMan83 It's the citrus stuff. It doesn't mix with the rest of the stuff. My mother makes fruitcake every year, but doesn't put in any of that citrus stuff, and it's DELICIOUS!!!
I agree, this commercial makes me really happy! I remember being in college during fall 2004 and a bunch of friends and I would hum the tune in class. It MADE the holiday season! Probably one of the best holiday commercials I've ever seen.
You were??? This was the best holiday commercial of the past few years:I sent the link to it to many people when it was out. I miss Eddie Steeples!! He can be The Rubberband Man and play on Earl,now come on!!

It was either 2003 or 2004, because I was working for OfficeMax at that time, when they were using the Rubberband Man ad campaign.

@jsharp1701 The whole THING is an homage to those old Rankin-Bass specials. It's adorable.

Yeah, I always wonder why X-mas fruitcake has such a bad rap...I think fruit cake tastes good, especially with coffee
