Whassup?
Holy
crap, do you remember these commercials? While I find them a bit
annoying now, there is no denying that they were popular back in the
day. You couldn't go anywhere without some dumb-ass in numbered shirt saying this
thing out loud. In hind sight, the ads aren't as bad as the current
Geico ads.
You
can age the your movie or show by shoving this What's Up into your
script. I also remember the parody of this ad in Scary Movie.
Doing
research for this, I found out this came from a short film, which
turned into this pop cultural artifact. They also did a Obama
supported version years later. Sadly, Adam Sandler would bring back
the phrase in his movie That's My Boy. Damn you, Sandler!!!
It
is interesting to see how much it hasn't aged well. However, this was
around the time when Budweiser and Bud Light keep bringing out a
string of entertaining ads, which carried over to each other.
