RE: the Pepsi commercial, TIME says:

Across America, people are falling asleep: sportscasters, singers, valets, factory workers. Until they get a wake-up — and get an apparently uncontrollable head tic — from Pepsi Max, with "ginseng and extra caffeine." Bizarrely, closes with an irritated man yelling "STOP IT!" at two happy head bobbers, as if the commercial itself could not avoid noticing how stupid it is.


Do they not realize that the guy who says "Stop it!" is Chris Cataen (sp?) from the old SNL skit, and the head bobbers, "What is love?".

I can't believe that Time would be that out of the loop......

It wasn't the best SB commercial ever, but better than a "C-"

Ok, seconds later, this appears on the page:

(Update: The man at the end of the ad, readers point out, is Chris Kattan, and the head-bob a reference to A Night at the Roxbury. Not that I especially wanted to relive that movie.)
