Hi Crabman

[RockyBalboa211]

Crabman and Stanley! I guess this what they did prior to going to their respected shows!

[Sabipedraza]

STANLEY!!! :DDD

[357daedalus]

[DadYedwog]

Hey Crabman...

[purplewowies]

I used to LOVE this commercial.

[FLCLCBSC]

I wish I had his job...

[Jlinn2010]

This use to be my favorite song when I was in my teens.

[StanHowser]

This was cringe worthy to sit through if you were a black person that grew up in the '70's because it was so stereotypical.

[janderson2000]

@StanHowser Things are stereotypical because they were/are prevalent. So, you would cringe because something was true and common.  OK, that makes sense.

[RockyBalboa211]

@StanHowser: I've listened to it like thousands of times, and I never thought it stereotypical.. I mean, it just made me want to dance and party all night long! :D

[00D00]

:24 Was That Stanley from 'The Office'?

[Mumakata]

@00D00 Yup, it was.

[Tflash13]

This commercial/song got me through Junior high

[90210qorqeouschick]

[BombusQuadricolor]

@gofmnful :D

[melhouse1000]

The guy cutting the paper at 0:39 is the same guy from the Skittles commercial and he is also the dorky kid from the movie Little Giants. Just thought everyone would like some useless trivia.

[telsport]

Thanks

Tom Loughlin Jr, Utica NY

[goldensun38]

[Acellio]

Where is Mr. Turtle?

[Dfrogman]

this commercial is absolute genius!

[Ramona6]

Hey Crabman! Love ya...

[BlondeBailey]

I loved the episode of My Name is Earl when they all get jobs at this giant hotdog corporation and Darnell is walking around with the cart nodding his head and smiling at everyone. I couldn't stop laughing and I had to come watch this commercial again!

[thepack12341]

crabman... i wondered if i could find this video to see if it was him.... plus i love the song.. much better than T.I's version...

[KZBProductionCo]

omg crabman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[XWOPLATINUM]

no he was on my name is earl 2006 no hes not dead

[millie5806]

truly, one of the most joyful commercials ever!!!! makes you want to get up and dance or at least puts a spring in your step. I also like the back to school office max commercial.  It's just as funfilled - wish we had more commercials like them

[queenahsilat]

I randomly remembered that crabman from my name is earl was the rubberband man too lol

[MrBarlow21]

Did he died

[Rockytofu]

@MrBarlow21 I really doubt it, his names Eddie Steeples, check him out.

[CainmosniMirrored]

"Hey Earl"

"Hey Crab man"

[r1ckyr4y]

Hey crabman!

[airsoftcollector101]

how is this racist

[goldensun38]

i loved this when i was younger :D

[codypg]

omg he should be on the office!

[Krawallus1988]

who sings the song???

[Docluck]

@Krawallus1988 The Spinners -- They were an R&B group from the '70s.

[Krawallus1988]

@Docluck Thanks ;-)

[Krawallus1988]

Hey Crabman^^

[toodudestv]

awesome commercial Crabman!

[legoguy75]

Best Commercial Ever!

[codypg]

Eddie should be on The Office. 

[ortegaj23]

0:20 STANLEY!!

[Tralman1965]

I wish they would bring him back to their commercials.

[Kerorofan1990]

Hey Earl.

[powell7778]

He can sing up a storm! Where can I find that??

[MilwaukeeF40C]

I imagine him as an assassin, leaving behind a trail of carnage, checking off names in a steno notepad. There should be a movie.

[toastgirl87]

I wish Crabman delivered my office supplies.

[ayoung014]

Thats Crabman from My Name Is Earl!

[BigTman299]

awesome commercial 

[BombusQuadricolor]

Hey, Crabman!

[baberahamlincun]

@BombusQuadricolor  Hey Earl

[doctorwho00772]

@BombusQuadricolor hey earl...

[TeamPathsOfPain]

@BombusQuadricolor Hey, Earl!

[TheDudecof]

@BombusQuadricolor Hey Earl

[MrSherpey]

With out a doubt bring this commerical back ..just the way it is, don't change it.

and another thing (sorry) bring back the Taco bell dog commerical also.

Both of those ad were and are strokes of pure genius...

Regards,

[Floorguy1000]

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?

[CainmosniMirrored]

@Floorguy1000 I remembered Office Max. Your logic is retarded.

[proudjagwife74]

Hey is that Stanley from The Office????? I looked this up to see Crabman from My Name is Earl

[Damahr]

Hey crabman!

[joseph299]

@Damahr Hey Earl

[Damahr]

DARNELL!!!

[johnnycage435]

wish i could get paid too pass out office supplies

[irish89055]

@johnnycage435 great commercial, esp this one and the Christmas version... hmmmm I wonder what else he's passin out....

[zdazzle14]

Perhaps the greatest commercial ever

[clairecanfly]

love you crabman

[jay1jayf]

Hey Crabman

[kyokomirror]

I remember an episode of "My Name is Earl" where Earl and the others break into an office or something and Crabman does this...because he was in this...it was a shout out i guess.

[MetalGX91]

CRABMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elpana96]

DARNELL!!

[MADRAVN420]

GO CRABMAN!!!

[kilrush98]

Eddie Steeple should be given an award everyday for this commercial! Forever...

[spacebootaay]

Hey crabman

[leavein90]

he resembles mikes epps to me.

[MrMomoitin]

you gotta love his hair.

[slosh1997]

man crabman has da moves

[annoythefish]

Lol why they got a black man doing all the menial tasks for the white man, while dancing around with an ignorant smile on his face?

Classic racism is classic

[EffieReal]

@annoythefish Because the white dudes they auditioned didn't snag the role, Crabman was better. You can actually see some of the auditions on youtube.

[EffieReal]

@annoythefish ...and why does his cute smile have to be "ignorant"? You racist. :P

[cowgirljessie222]

@annoythefish I think he looks like he's having fun :)

[TeslaDRay]

i remember this commmercial from 04'. always thought that guy was cool.

[sparks277]

My wife and I have argued for months over what commercial Crab Man was in. She said he was the "Make 7up Yours" guy, I knew that wasn't right but couldn't think of who it was. This morning out of the blue it hit me... RUBBERBAND MAN!!!!!

[adiavoy]

CRABMAN!... my favorite character on My Name is Earl... which I am watching this very moment.

[creemoof]

Hey Earl.

[pervertedhermit1]

[cpufixerdvc]

[TheImmortalFighter]

[austen101]

@TheImmortalFighter Hey Earl

[TheImmortalFighter]

[KroliggBloodhoof]

[kscardsfan]

Is that stanley from "the office" whose chair he replaces at about 24 or 25 seconds?

[skeeter0jones]

@kscardsfan

[TehDuffs]

@kscardsfan Yeah, it is!

I thought I was the only one that picked up on that.

[Docluck]

@kscardsfan Good Eye! That is Stanley from the office. I missed it the first time. Remember this commercial when it first played, because I loved this song by The Spinners when I was a kid.

[TheCulinaryRonJeremy]

@kscardsfan good eye!

[TheDionification]

darnell

[chrisrko1982]

Darnell...wtf. Best commercial EVAR!

[Alucard1121171]

Eddie Steeples is the only guy that is funky and bad-assed enough to be "The Rubberband Man".

[sparkandsplash]

Coonin' lol

[Snegenad1]

Lol he's missing a huge chunk out of his 'fro!

[TranzTechno]

@Snegenad1 lol i think he just parted it

[crackerdick]

I work at Omax in New Zealand - why don't we get cool commercials like this??

[jamesbob224]

oh i totally though this was TI's version of rubberband man, and i was like "Office Max?? wtf?"

[zombijrky]

[freakofevolution]

[SawViking]

@untmonk

i wondered that myself. lol.

[Poncho389]

One of the few commercials that used a old song that makes me like the song even more....I loved this ad! Mosts ads that use old songs make me start disliking it (song) ..ex. Coors Lite Love train. Bring the Rubberband man back!!

[xSTiZZLE]

cant wait till my fro is as big as his

[TeslaDRay]

i can't believe this is on youtube! i remember this back in 04' for it's awkward funniness.

[crazyhorse545454]

...sweeeettt...always brings a smile to my face!

[hankazaria]

One of the actors from "The Office" is also in this commercial. Look at :24, the guy who gets the new chair.

[robertaplantledzep]
