[highlight][Please note: this is a 2003 thread I bumped in Oct 2007. The original thread addressed the 2003 Superbowl, but I thought I'd revisit Terry Tate and see if anyone else wanted to add to it. [/highlight]

Yeah, I know its been a few days, but I noticed no one posted this topic yet.

Mine is Reebok's Terry Tate, Office Line Backer.

That one was so funny. Especially when he mentioned no cover sheet for the TPS report. Reminded me of the movie Office Space.

The best line (the one you mentioned):

Terry Tate: (to someone he just tackled) "YOU KNOW YOU NEED A COVER SHEET ON YOUR TPS REPORTS, RICHARD! THAT AIN'T NEW, BABY!!!"
Janice: (walking by) "Hey Terry"
Terry Tate: (breaking from his screaming for a second) "Hey, Janice." (immediately back to Richard) "MOTHERFU-" (ad cuts away just in time)

I took that verbatim from the video I downloaded from Reebok. Unfortunately they didn't have the actual SuperBowl cut of the commercial, instead its a few very short versions and one really, really (almost 4 minute) long version. the SuperBowl cut was by far the most entertaining.

One more:

Terry Tate: "THAT'S A LONG DISTANCE CALL, DOUG!"

You really have to see it, if you haven't already.

my faves would have to be the beer commercials: the seashell one, the "why don't you date the both of us", the fast forward Twins commercial, and the ultrawide mom.

a majority of it was boring though.

A guy that used to work with me is in that commercial, sort of. The whole thing is like 5 or 10 minutes long, and Reebok cut it up to make several commercials. You can't see my friend's face, but you see like his leg (or part of it, he's actually the guy laying on the floor when Janice walks by). His friend is the one that shot the commercial. They did it during the summer, and when he came back from it, he had a tape with a bunch of takes/out-takes and stuff, they were pretty funny.

They didn't show the commercial of Terry chasing down the guy who took too many office supplies, did they? And the rookie gets the surprise tackle from behind a file cabnet or something.

It's a remake of an older one from like 5 years ago.

Super-mega bump... I had no idea they did more of these (past the first three), all the way until 2005. I still think this was a hilarious campaign. The guys who came up with it went on to write/direct "Dodgeball" with Stiller/Vaughn

Here they are in order.

I love the Terry Tate ads, so hilarious.

One of my favorite scenes is where the balding office worker carelessly tosses an aluminum can into the trash, instead of the recyclables bin right next to it. Suddenly you hear a loud roar from the doorway, and Terry is suddenly there, cutting off all exits from the room and trembling with rage. He yells out "OOOOOHH, THE PAIN TRAIN'S COMIN'!!!" The office worker panics and desperately puts the can in the right place, after which Terry just silently nods in approval.

At the end of the shot, the office worker is left cowering behind the recyclables bin, sobbing to himself. :D

EDIT:

I almost forgot! At the office where I work, there's actually a sign on the coffee maker that says "You kill da joe, you make some mo'!" :D
