Actually the real guy who did this comes in here and holds court amongst his loyal fans. I shit you not. Look down the list. That indeed is him... I recall him being on MTV for a while, as "The little lad" never breaking character... and he's still doing it.
When he has that moment of like wordless joy at 0:10 its honestly the best part for me. The hand waving. the small scream. the other guy flinching back like "whoa man calm down". perfect.
I do indeed love Berries and Cream, it brings back old childhood memories. Just like my Mummy used to make! Now Mummy's gone... but I still love Berries and Cream! :)
poisondart59 Thank you, my good chap. My apologies, but I know nothing of this "crapped" word you are using. Is it some of that new-fangled "slang" the young, modern folk use? But it is obviously a compliment, whatever it means! Hahaha hohoho heeheehee! "LOL," as you hip folk tend to say!
Imagine enjoying Berries and Cream Starburst and then a creepy normal sized Lord Farquadd shows up out of nowhere singing and dancing about Berries and Cream.
I will never forget the first time I cosplayed. I wanted my hair cut like Light Yagami, walked out of the hair salon looking like a little lad who loves berries and cream.
WHY DID YOU CUT YOUR ACTUAL HAIR LOL unless you're talking like early/mid 2000s cuz we all actually cut and dyed out real hair back then because no one told us that everyone else just wears wigs 🙄🙄🙄
You know the idea for this came up in the marketing department when they were presented with the berries and cream flavor, and someone was like that sounds like something some spoiled rich kid from the olden days would be obsessed with. Picture a Mr. Burns flashback.
The impact the loss of the little lads mom really set off the common use of this action in the mans life.Since the days when he enjoyed berries and cream remind him of the days with his mom, this dance and melody works as a coping mechanism to get him over the loss of his mother. Although it may not seem like it, it’s very deep.
This is honestly one of the best commercials I have ever seen. I have been laughing about this from time to time for 15 years. And I don't think I will ever forget it!
We're going to look back on this ad in our 50s and look a 10 year old in the face and say "back in my day this was funny" and that 10 year old is gonna be like "no"
Agreed! One of my favorite memories of college was being put in some group for some lame project and us watching this over and over in our small group with tears streaming down our faces. This commercial influenced me more than college 😂😂😂😂😂
I was in high school when this commercial was new, this girl that sat behind me in class used to sing this song with me all the time to get through literature. We couldn't stop laughing.
My favorite part is how the little lad asks what did you say. And the guy goes, “Berries and…” Then he interrupts him immediately. “Berries and what else?!!!” He was already about to say cream, my guy. But he’s so hyped up he had to interrupt.
What a great and intuitive explanation. I had never thought about this but always wondered why they would make weird commercials. My theory always was that it accomplished the goal of breaking patterns. People are used to the same old things and a lot of stuff that they see just gets blurred out into background noise. When a commercial (or anything or anyONE) breaks a pattern by being weird and confusing, it sticks in your head and you are much more likely to remember it.
Sometime during the early to mid-2000s there were those of us chosen that, while perhaps watching Adult Swim, perhaps after having just got done ripping a phat bongload, were suddenly confronted by Little Lad in the middle of watching an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force or Cowboy Bebop. We didn't know he was coming. We didn't know we should have been prepared. That day was the day everything changed.
“Berries and cream berries and cream I’m a young lad who loves berries and cream” 1 second later “BeRrIEeeees AnD CREammm BeRrIEeeees AnD CREammm iM a YoUnG LAd WhOo LoVEss BeRrIEeeees AnD CREammm” This will never get old
How to market a "berries and cream" flavor to young men. They literally take the worst '06-era laughable stereotype of a "girly man" who might like "berries and cream" and throw it in your face in a very memorable way. It may seem absurd on the surface, but it is a masterclass in advertising. My 3 years in advertising make me an expert, BTW. ;)
@@ellieriley3056 saying that back in 06 could have gotten your MySpace taken down. We all owe the little lad. Him and nannerpus - and the robot that liked chi chi’s
I feel people do not understand the sheer complexity of this cinematic masterpiece, upon hearing the words berries and cream the young lad realised he will have an outburst of excitement which could potentially end the universe so he chooses to control his excitement in the form of a song thus saving the universe
What I wanna see is the audition tapes for this commercial. Like that guy and then all the people who didn't quite make the cut.
This guy's a college professor now too apparently

Got this shit so deep in my favorites your mom would be proud
This isn't exactly a hidden gem, it's a well known commercial.
I think about this commercial a lot because I'm short and like berries
SquareB0t one of the first videos i added to my favorites
The Starburst company was out of its mind when it released these line of commercials and I was living for every second of it
His weird-ass gasps and anticipation still make me lose my shit to this day.
Most people dont even realize he won an emmy for this performance
@@jasonl8720 No way, really? Lmfao, these and the Doritos, Snickers, and Mountain Dew ones were funny as well.

I wouldn't. This commerical is awful.
Fuck yeah, it's awful.
Yesss
That scream/yelp is so original. I don’t think I’d ever forget this commercial. Truly one of the best!
"What kind of Starbursts did you just say?"
"Berries..."
"BERRIES...? And what else??"
this always made me laugh he didnt even let the guy finish saying berries and he just cut him off...this is my all time fav commercial
Сяеам
The look he makes after dude tells him cream is great.
And cream
Lmfaooooooo I’m happy you pointed out the most underrated funny part of the commercial. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was this guy for Halloween lol....nobody got it...
DeliriousDoughnut I would’ve gotten it
I salute you
That’s sad
And those starbursts sure didn’t last long after that.. you couldn’t find them ANYWHERE!
Must have been awkward
The early 2000's were a strange time.
Jack McMorrow An excellent time.
Ian T
And there is still another 900+ years to go before the 2000's are over, hence the 'early 2000's'.
Come on guys, this isn't rocket surgery.
Lesolan Actually, this would be considered a zoning issue.
+Lesolan you can say the 2000s and still mean the first decade of the 2000s...

perfect.
I was looking for this comment
He's too excited, I love it. When he cuts him off, it gets me everytime lolol.
I believe it technically would qualify as “quivering”...
I think he produces a little cream out of his berries at that moment... 😉
I do indeed love Berries and Cream, it brings back old childhood memories.
Just like my Mummy used to make! Now Mummy's gone... but I still love Berries and Cream! :)

The most quoted commercial from my middle school days.
YOu have no idea how accurate you are in saying that! :)
