RadioShack Commercial

So out of the blue, Al is in the latest RadioShack commercial, and it's quite a commercial to behold! I usually avoid linking to Facebook, but I'm not sure where else to find the video.

The best part of this commercial is

Spoiler:

"BATTERIES?!"

Even just a regular person saying that in that tone would make me think it's a funny commercial but Weird Al makes it even better.

I wonder if this'll air during the Super Bowl? Then Al would at least show up on TV during the commercial breaks if not at halftime show.

I wasn't sure about making a new topic for this, so I posted the link to this article in the Hangin 27 - Surfin' Al topic, and the video by itself in the Altube topic earlier today. I love the ad!

What were you afraid might happen?

I don't know. I suppose I could have done it.

Doubt it - it has a definite holiday theme to it.

I love this commercial, love the lyrics, and how much fun Al is having. However does anyone else feel like Al was autotuned heavily? I'm still learning how to discern between Al's natural voice and a bit of autotune and I didn't noticesomething elt off until someone pointed it out over on the Weird Al subreddit.

It is a commercial, so I'm sure the audio was doctored in some way. But after watching it several times, I honestly can't tell.

I like to think Al just showed up, sang his song, blew everyone away, and they put the first take into the final mix.

I didn't get that feeling at all.
After watching multiple times, I found it hilarious that there is a big sign behind "cousin Bob", with his name in bold letters, and neon lights flashing around it when they cut back to him.
