I like how they went through the trouble of creating a hilarious commercial with high production values that tells you absolutely NOTHING about what the company does.
And a company not clearly stating what it is is generally a bad sign.
@Ryusuta Sadly, this is the reality of advertising. ""Central" route, attitudes are based on a careful and thoughtful consideration of the persuasive arguments contained in the message. A "peripheral" route to persuasion may occur, this route does not involve diligent consideration of the message arguments. Focus on quantity (rather than quality) of message arguments, attractiveness or credibility, and/or the type of music which accompanies the communication."Miniard et al.(paraphrased)
@wearyofallthiscrap Actually, the metaphor is much, much older than that. You just simply found a reference, or use, of the metaphor that dates back to 1985. My grandparents from the Depression Era used this metaphor.
@nfazio62293 Read up on your history buddy, there were African American cowboys. Secondly, learn some respect from people different than yourself. I'd also like to apologize to the minorites who read this comment. Most white people are not like this.
" livin' the dream..." indeed! ROFLMAO !!! If I was grinnin' any wider, I'd disappear like the Cheshire cat! ♥♥♥ I do recall Perot as a presidential candidate but if the ad agency genius (who came up with this commercial) ran for president, I'd vote for him/her a million times!!!
Today I watched this 358 times. Sure, I had cramps after sitting here this long but upon the last viewing, I again saw a Greyhound bus tearing down 23 Hair Street, and being totally beside myself at this point, I hurled myself right into the side of that thing. There was so much adrenalin coursing through my veins, I had to do something. Sure I bounced off, but what else could I do after 358 viewings of herding cats? It was worth the whole ordeal.
@josealbertoabreu Sorry, but EDS wasn't ever a part of the dot come phenomena. EDS is a computer services company, which Ross Perot founded as Electronic Data Systems (EDS) in 1962 (remember Perot running for President a decade or so ago?). The company was sold to General Motors in 1984. They're still around; EDS became an HP business unit and was renamed "EDS, an HP company".
I am laughing so hard I think I pulled a muscle! Having worked a ranch in my youth, and herded cattle on horse and on foot (after getting thrown by my horse), I know what a real cattle drive is all about. And I can totally picture switching out cattle for cats, and that has me in stitches (thankfully, not from cat scratches).
Best Super Bowl Comm EVER!! I was about 13 when this came out. When I think Super Bowl, I think this, not football. They just don't make them like they use to
@osiud Maybe some are, like women and young girls getting stuck in human sex rings but most of them come here on their own. ( I know a lot of people who's family came here illegally from there.) Lots of women get stuck in sex rings from other countries too as well as american girls get stuck in foreign sex rings.
@osiud Thats one of the most ridiculous rumors I've ever heard. Right up there with "I heard that Americans keep Mexicans as slaves." LOL thanks for the laugh! As a natural bred, born and raised Texas girl I can assure you a true Texan does not eat cats.
They're all real cowboys. Someone somewhere (I can't find it now) said that the two cowboys comparing scratches were her uncles! Hubba Hubba! This is my favorite commercial. Ever.
@pojo205 not all cats hate water. Cats can swim and some even enjoy water. Had a cat that always joined me when i took a shower. When i had a bathtub she sat on the edge and dipped her paws and enjoyed me splashing water on her.
@pojo205 Dude, my son son and I just went on a cat drive last summer from Billings, MT to Ft. Worth,TX right into the stock yards.......took us 11 weeks but it was worth every second........he/we learned the way things used to be......brought us closer together........had 5 new-born kittens in my saddle bags at one point.......not easy feedin em all with an eye droper while on a cat drive!!!!!

The source for this video is this classic joke:
"At Group L, Stoffel oversees six first-rate programmers, a managerial challenge roughly comparable to herding cats."
--The Washington Post Magazine, 9 June 1985
That's right, 1985. The joke is older than most of the viewers. :-)
