awesome Fathead commercial (with surprise twist ending)

I've spent the week in LA at Shelly's apartment, which is awesome but for the fact that she works all day. So I've passed the time mostly by scarfing hummus and watching ESPN repeat the same hour of content six times a day.

Every once in a while during my sports binge, this brilliant commercial for Fathead came on. I needed to share it. I kept youtubing for "fathead" and "fathead commercial", to no avail. Eventually I just started googling random lines from the commercial's monologue, and found a blog post over at AdFreak.

Check it out:



I've gotta say, it's pretty shocking when volume goes up 20 notches and the script suddenly drops from brilliant to this:

Chubby Sports Infomercial Guy: GET YOUR FAVORITE FATHEADS FROM THE *CRUNCH* NFL PLUS MLB, NBA, *CRUNCH* NASCAR, AND MORE> GO *CRUNCH* TO FATHEAD DOT *CRUNCH* COM NOW.

Okay, yeah, this is pretty much why I went into this idiot field.

I bet at this point they're starting to kick themselves over their ridiculous choice of product name, though.
