This commercial made me addicted to pizza with hot sauce. I also like the scenery, a guy eating pizza out at his cabin by himself in the woods at night with the sound of birds and crickets. I wanna do that sometime.
@billruller: yep, this commercial reminds me of growing up in rural southern Indiana back in the '50s. Hot summer nights, pizza and Tabasco sauce. I don't recall the mosquitos exploding, though.
@JMB129 I find it absolutely ridiculous what the YouTube world has come to, JB comments and jokes, chain mail, idiots arguing over stupid things and spam everywhere!
I don't understand how people find a way to argue about a fucking hot sauce commercial. Jesus God Damn Fucking Christ, put your tampons back in and get over it.
@TitaniumToothpaste I'm not really sure if the momentary lapse of a proficient spelling ability forms sufficient grounds for wholly disregarding the obvious intent of my statement. On these grounds, your failure to put an "an" before "ad and add" means you are treating both of these words as verbs, of which only one is. However, I can see what you mean and so such distinction is largely irrelevant.
@sebastionbach the word "an" was not necessary at all, its like saying "bill doesnt know the difference between book and look" i have omitted "the word" before ad, add, book, and look, but it doesnt make the sentence any less correct or comprehensible
@sebastionbach You should really stop being such a hater, were all humans bro. if you were born in the US odds are you may be a fat lazy person but instead you were born elsewhere. It all depends on luck and genes...
This is my all time fave. Did it ever air after it debuted? I kept looking for it on TV back then and never did see it again. Loads better than the ones they have today.
LOL i was like who puts tabasco sauce intheir pizza and then i saw the mosquito and i thought hes gonna put it in the sauce? and then i see BOOM rofl. I should eat tabasco sauce more.
This commercial is one of the best reasons for YouTube to exist. I don't watch the Super Bowl and would have missed it -- the best damned ad I've seen.
Thanks for posting this. One of the best commercials ever. Especially effective during the Super Bowl, in the middle of so many noisy, big-production ads. No words, no music; the silence got your attention. And sold the product real well, too.
well its good for making food... (: like not dripping it onto pizza or bread (D=) but mixing it with some chicken on a pan (: but! the reason i searched exploding mosquito.. was because a guy in my class says.. that if i let a mosquito suck my blood and then hold the blood sucking thing.. then it will explode because it keeps sucking! :D but gets air q: mean death. but i dont want to have a mosquito mark because of a failure :(
Animal Makers provided and performed this mosquito for a production company that was shooting "a test". They never cleared talent or puppet, but here's the spot! The creative director was promoted for his great work, and the client made millions!
You did sound on this? Bravo! I STILL think about this spot sometimes. In fact, I can attest to it's effectiveness, because after I saw this spot, I started putting tabasco sauce on my leftover pizza slices.
why do people like this commercial so much? its not even appealing. How does seeing a fat, sweaty redneck douse his nasty pizza with tabasco make you want to buy it?
When I used to teach advertising in college, this was one of my favorites -- not only is it funny and memorable, but what makes it funny is a unique characteristic of the product. You aren't going to forget what it's for. That makes it a great ad!
Agreed. Hadn't seen this in years and years and then someone posted about tabasco sauce on a forum and I immediantly though of this ad. Only seen it once before too
Most people have only seen it once because it was originally produced as a local ad, not to run nationally. The response was so good they only ran it one time nationally -- in the Super Bowl. But it became a legend.
THe actor's name is Steve Monroe. I interviewed him for a redhead newsletter 10 years ago after this commercial aired. He has acted in several movies, tons of commercials, and he's always been at the edge of going huge. I'm still waiting, because Steve deserves it. He's a great guy, unassuming, and one of the most talented actors who can project an emotion with just a facial expression. His face is like a human billboard, and he always gets great parts in commercials. Steve Monroe -- BREAKOUT!!
my teacher told me to watch this lol
