Anyone who has watched the PTB the past couple seasons has become familiar with arguably the most impactful commercial ever bestowed upon us. (A huge thank you to Condemnor for the link, and a pat on the back to TominGuatemala for his IT help.)
Some of you may have noticed my Obsessive-Compulsive disorder flaring up about this advertisement since its first appearance. All good things must come to an end and with this fan-post I hope to extinguish any "ember" still "blasing" between the neurons and dendrites of our collective consciousness.
With this poll, I intend to bring this topic to the ceremonius halt it deserves, unless of course PTB fans clamor otherwise. Its out of my hands now:

Tom Peterson was really known for his midnite spots on Portland Wrestling
Hoody Who! Hoody Who! Wake up! Wake up! Cant recall how many times his knocking on my TV screen woke me up and forced me to bed.
But now that you brought it up, TP may have done some early PTB advertising. Can we confirm this people?

That very well might be
the most hilariously watchable commercial I’ve ever seen. I LOVE that I get to see it twice every commercial break.

I bow
after analyzing the video with the same cryptological algorithms used to decode and verify the Patterson Footage, including audio analysis, lip reading and the summoning of Yahoo PTB board posters not forgotten, I’ve concluded the following:
I was wrong. The card dealer clearly says that the games are hot and “THEY’RE” (not you’re) “RIPE” for the winnings. This is as conclusive as the dermal ridges found on bigfoot casts from 40 years ago. Yes its that rock solid as proof.
As to Mortimer’s suggestion the word “rife” is offensive to native americans, I say bah. But for every person who wants to believe in Sass, there’s a debunker. Nice try tho Mortay.
Ive never been ashamed to admit Im wrong as its all in the pursuit of truth, which is not just fleeting but elusive, and occasionally hard to hear during commercials while eating Cheez-Itz.
Happy now?

Don’t the kinda guys in Vegas have a uniform and like gloves all looking classy and elegant. This freakin’ thing is train wreck all around

The worst commercials during the playoffs
Probably the ads on TNT for the new seasons of their own comedy shows on TBS (Bill Engvall Show, House of Payne). After seeing these bumpers dozens of times, not even their own announcers were able to read the claim “Very funny” with a passionate voice.

True. true
Every time I see him doing an interview I wonder who thought television would be a good career for him, why they let him on air in a suit that looks like it comes out of the sixties and/or was picked by a blind stylist, and if that’s a part of his contract. Then I look him up on Wikipedia (his article currently threatens that he will be a reporter for NBC at the Olympics. Maybe that Chinese television P2P streaming is a true alternative) and am amazed that he is supposed to have five kids and a wife who is a former NBA dancer. Does his wife never watch him at work and say “honey, you look like a clown”?

Don't want to make that into a Craig Sager discussion since bow4meow still needs to find closure over the casino ad
But since we are at it, the closest he ever came to being on the court/field was when he was the mascot for Northwestern University: Willie the Wildcat. Didn’t we recently have a discussion about college mascots? So yeah, that was the highlight of his own sports career afaik. (And now that I see this I get a feeling where he might have suffered the trauma that lead to his flamboyantly colored suits and ties.)

The thing that bugs me
about the spirit mountain commercial is that they all look so darn familiar. Like I’ve seen them bussing a table or abusing me at the DMV or something. But I can’t put my finger on it.
That is not my most hated commercial by a long shot though, the series of VW “Drivers Wanted” commercials tops the list. Created a whole generation of dipwads who think they’re on the gran prix circuit because they have a freaking Jetta.

Any kind of understanding of the temperature of the water that a person of any sexual orientation
might encounter in the attempt to catch trout with a fly rod would prohibit the attire in that ad. But it’s a great example of marketing 101 in luring the unsuspecting buyer to buy something. Sex sells, but trout bite. I’ll take any opportunity to promote Travis, however.

I’ve watched it live on TV and now (thanks to the link) on the web hundreds of times. Is there really a person saying “ripe” or “rife”? If it’s there my brain completely skips it every time.

the card dealer slinging out the cards like she's got an ace up her sleeve
she says the games are hot and they’re ripe for the winnings. I didnt notice it previously, but someone earlier pointed it out, in the shady background is a figure obviously acting out the muscle role. Its not easy to catch but when I first saw it I couldnt stop laughing. He reappears in the chorus group that takes the song out after all 7’s came up and the confetti pours down. Thing is, if I acted at that casino like the actors in the song do, how long would I last before getting escorted out in a hammerlock?

This is my favorite example
of a commercial so horribly bad that it became good.
I’d kill to know if the people who came up with it thought it was actually good or if they were making fun of themselves or what. Because if they thought it was actually good that’s completely hilarious…and a good example of how something so wrong can actually turn out right. On the other hand if they knew it was bad but that it was the kind of bad that would sell big, then that’s a different kind of genius.

That she looked like your wife. I always think of you (and your wife) when the commercial plays during games.
Then I lie awake at night, my DVR paused just at the moment before she lays the dinner plate down for the man, her eyes as round as saucers, so happy to serve. And I picture a universe where I am that man, and I am about to sit down to a meal that is I have been dreaming for. I know this is your life, Dave.

Close .....it is a magnetic field
Unfortunately he has a big metal plate in his head and they just turned on the giant electromagnet that every casino has in it’s attic.
Random thought: Every time I see this dude I think of Troy McClure….”Hi I’m Troy McClure….you might remember me from commecials for such products as Spirit Mt Casino and Mango’s Organic Diaper service (diapers made 100% wheat grass). “

The loss of Phil Hartman to the Simpsons was devastating
I respectfully disagree. The I think that Im in love guy is in a gutter of his own. I just cant accept that analogy, sorry.

Understood
Hartman was brilliant by the way. I remember the episode of News Radio when he was trying to quit smoking (and had patches all the way around his waist like a belt).
But…that being said, the idea of a hack actor that shows up in all manner of obscure commecials and TV shows seems pretty point on

so who stole that gag
Krusty once tried to quit and barely had space on his ass for on more patch, before he started licking it. I hear you.

Is anybody in this commercial "famous"?
Troy McClure at least was supposed to be a B-movie star.

In Film Strips
Anyone even remember those moronic things? They were totally ubiquitous (hehe) in my grade/middle school days

Bing!
“Teacher, it binged. You need to turn it one.”
“Huh, what? Did it bing. Wait, this isn’t the right slide.”
“Go back one.” “No, go forward.” “No, it’s the right one.”
The teacher randomly turns knobs on the projector and the lesson is lost.

You might remember MccLure also starred in TV series
which included Buck Henderson, Union Buster and Troy and Company’s Summertime Smile Factory. We could all sure use the latter ‘round here.

Troy McClure will always be known for
such films as Today We Kill, Tomorrow We Die and Gladys the Groovy Mule, , but we’ll always remember him in his greatest role- our video tour guide to Rancho Relaxo!

Fairly warned next fan poster
kicks this topic off the board. Do you really want to be that person? It better not be another trade proposal.

Im in tears thanks to Portland Dynasty*
jAll good things …. I said it…. We all need to move on…. That doesnt mean we have to forget which is really just the influence of television…. Its been a great ride….. I really twught they said “they’re rife.” .... my conscious would never be settled if it werent for the help of too many bedgers to mention helping me thru this…. l;kllllllllllllll”?
] wouldnt you know it? That last remark was from 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111u and that one from my cat Bonzi.
Not sure how to interpret that but it sounds like somebody wants some tuna and shrimp (Fancy Feast only) and the repeated ones might represent alot more then just an empty belly.
Just looking at what that cat bothered to type, without pulling out my universal translator, Id say he said the following irrevocable commentary:
At the door is a man who will greet you
the food is all that you’ve been dreamin of
the games are hot and they’re ripe for the winnings
I think that I’m in love
I know a place where this will go.

TRUTH IS FOUND IN YOUR WORDS
I have never met a cat who didn’t love to jump on a keyboard and write death threats to the local evening newscast team.
