Well this is pretty lame. And strange. And stupid. And weird. And oh…kind of funny too…in that retro disco, we’re-trying-really-hard-to-be-lame-on-purpose sort of way. Yea, it’s an ad for coffee. That alone makes it worthy of consideration.
The commercial, for Weaver’s Coffee, is based on an old television show called Dance Party which, similar the American Bandstand, featured people dressed in silly 60’s and 70’s garb (well, it wasn’t silly at the time since it was the 60’s and 70’s) dancing to silly (well, they weren’t silly at the time because, well, they were new) disco songs.
The commercial’s theme? It’s like the Butabe brothers from Night at the Roxbury trying to get into a club. But somehow this guy makes it in because, well, he has really cool coffee. Or whatever.
Weaver’s Coffee Founder John Weaver was even on the show. The commercial is running locally on KOFY.
