We received this email from Star on 11/21/09:
Hey guys,
Sad news, Matt, (one of the movers [in the white tank top] from the commercial) passed away today. He was driving home a few nights ago from his job in another town and fell asleep at the wheel. He was 22, has a 3 mth old son, and was to be married this week.
Please be careful when you're out on the road.
Your friend,
Star*

Our deepest condolences to Matt's family.

Anyone else re-watching this for the um-teenth time, like... 13 years later?

[@hlriiiviiiv]

Hell yes, it never gets old. Everytime things get tough and I feel like I might want to feel sorry for myself I say “at least I’m not fighting my wife’s boyfriend” and I buck right up again.

[@joelkendrick965]

Yes! And I stood on the ground of Cullman Liquidation

It's funny cause it's true😅

[@johnson791]

Matt is one of "the movers" (in the white tank top) he passed away a couple of mths ago. He was a part of the Cullman Liquidation family for quite some time. He fell asleep at the wheel leaving his other job. He was a kind hearted guy who is missed greatly.

[@JustaSimplefact]

BULL WHIP!!

[@IsaiahCampbell]

I just want you guys to know that this commercial inspired me back in 2011 to write a novel about a kid from Cullman who gets sucked into an international crisis and has to use his Southern chutzpa to outsmart the CIA, save his pa, and bring peace to Cullman. That book caught the eye of a literary agent and then later a publisher and it came out from Simon & Schuster in 2014: The Troubles of Johnny Cannon. So, thank you guys, y'all inspired me to make my dream come true and change my life forever!

[@Myth0l0gic]

I thought you were joking. This guy actually wrote a novel inspired by this cimmercial. Amazing. 😂

[@berry541]

Isn’t that great?!

[@billybillee8160]

Brian Griffin is that you?

[@joshuayork2231]

I am in the process of finishing a book I wrote right now. How exactly did you get the attention of a literary agent?

[@stephaniesieradzki1840]

...and I just saw this comment and bought the book!

[@stacibrown5805]

I grew up in Cullman, and was flipping through random KZbin videos JUST NOW in 2021 and was like... is that Rhett and Link? I remembered this video being popular when I was in high school, but didn't realize it was RHETT and LINK. My entire life is a lie.

[@StopChangingUsernamesYouTube]

Holy crap, you're right! That, or we've found Link's stubble-doppleganger. Edit: Realized what channel I was on a bit late. I can't believe Rhett & Link were in a video posted on the Rhett & Link channel.

[@scottwatts6603]

Really impressed with how Cullman has grown in the last few years.

[@teamsterjeffrey]

My wife’s boyfriend hit me with a fence post…….. a lot to unpack in this classic

[@timj4873]

Not to mention the five crescent wrench smacks from the bouncer... Where was he at that had bouncers...hmmm

[@billl9261]

Broke my jaw with a fence post.

[@paul329]

This is probably the most amazing commercial in the history of advertising. I want to know why this whole crew doesn't already have their own reality tv show.

[@BRUNO-xe8ki]

THAT HAWK A SCREAMIN GITS ME EVERY TIME!

[@kbc163]

Looks like the opening to a Better Call Saul episode where Jimmy would produce the commercial.

[@robertpatter5509]

Oh Slippy Jimmy would definitely love this commercial

[@jrsiv4462]

This man made the “my wife’s boyfriend” joke before it was popular

[@jacobgabrieel6646]

And some how mane it cool?

[@paxhumana2015]

The wife would not be having a boyfriend if I had a wife, and the guy that would be trying to use the wrench on me would be wearing it as an involuntary bow tie before he would die.

[@Leartech81]

"My wife's boyfriend broke my jaw with a fencepost." Greatest line, ever.

[@evemadden9642]

The reverse psychology in this ad is brilliant! I really want a mobile home now....

13 years later and I’m still telling people about this commercial.

[@chrismarshall6571]

This never gets old! I still have my Cullman Liquidation T-shirt and wear it all of the time! If I was closer, I'd get myself a home!

[@CookedPages]

I can't even begin to describe how much I want to buy a mobile home from this man and his team. I never EVER want to own a mobile home, but I do want to buy one from him. Holy shit.

[@seoulsista82]

I'm from Huntsville and this video made our local news a few weeks ago. They said that the guy's business increased exponentially after this commercial. It was really cool to find out that Rhett and Link had a part in it because I've driven by that place a hundred times.

[@dandypajamas]

[@Kittyvibes2431]

Some days, when things are epically messed up, I fire up this ad for inspiration. It never ceases to make my day.

[@fromlaurenwithlove]

The fact that I grew up in Huntsville, AL (just a little jump down the interstate from Cullman) makes me appreciate this so so much more than I would have even if I hadn't. You guys are right on the money with this one. Five stars, and lots of love.

[@mikkibiggs1]

My condolences to Matt's family. As long as we carry those we love in our hearts, they are never truly gone.

[@paxhumana2015]

Explain.

[@lukewimberly4017]

Wow, you wrote this comment 13 years ago and disturbed released a song not long ago with these same lyrics. The song is hold on to memories….

Wish all advertisements were this honest and straightforward. Like a breath of fresh air. So sorry to hear about Matt's untimely passing. Condolences to his family and friends.

The amount of fucks given that day: -1000000

He created a low pressure zone of fucks given. This forces the audience to give up their fucks due to the second law of fuckgivedynamics. This is the genius of this commercial.

[@INCC74656I]

this makes me want to buy a product more than any other commercial i have seen in the past 4 years

[@joeferris5086]

So come on down and buy a home! Or don't. (Eagle screech) Perfection.

[@AM79564]

I love this commercial. I like honest down home people who tell it like it is. There's too much fudging and icing on Mini of these businesses who refused to be honest and open about the products and services they offer. If I ever need another mobile home I will definitely call these people

[@thegrandpencil4374]

I appreciate honesty as well but, you ARE aware that this was purposely trying to be funny, right? It's more parody than reality lol.

[@williamfourt4669]

It is possibly the best sales pitch ever made on a video/ad.

Amen to what someone said below. Love the 'Murica-ness of this awesome commercial. RIP Matt.

[@shannonburroughs]

If I lived in Alabama and I was interested in buying a mobile home I would TOTALLY go see this guy. It's crude, it's tactless but it's just enough over the top honesty to get my business. Two thumbs up buddy + my big toes = 4 thumbs up, does that count? They're not prehensile but, I mean, they're the thumbs of my feet I guess.....I digress. Great commercial anyway.

[@alexandermarquardt597]

This is the greatest ad ever. If I ever buy a mobile home, thats the guy I put my trust in.

I used to work in construction building fences and retaining walls and the like, so I'm familiar with handling fence posts. Just about anything would be easier to swing at somebody.
