Polly-O String Cheese Classic Commercial

"Nuttin' ?"

[@alexandergonzie1200]

That "Nugh-tinnn?!" part always made me never forget this commercial, lol.

[@mjacobsable]

I like how the guy scrunched up his face while saying that word lol

[@tommcelroy2276]

Agreed! My Italian grandfather died in 98 and I can hear his voice repeating, “Nuttdinn?” He liked it so much that I remember him 25 years later

RIGHT?? WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?

[@jackryan2779]

thats what I just said

[@FrFrijole]

It’s an American ad about string cheese, they just wanted to sound fancy

[@Chips48]

I think they were going for a French chef sort of thing at the end

[@hiddensquid183]

The pure confusion in Fred's voice at "hold the tomato sauce" is priceless

[@KynG5]

You could feel the Italian in him flaring up

[@Tinymapleart]

I love that Freddy is able to entertain the idea of a pizza with no tomoto sauce, but draws the line at no crust, he is a very reasonable man, all while jimmy only ever has a look of confusion on his face

[@TheCrankSpiderNinja]

yeh cuz a pizza with no sauce is just a pizza with no sauce, same with a pizza with no cheese but a pizza with no crust has nothing to hold its shape, therefore it's no longer a pizza also, that would defeat the entire purpose of calling it a pie, since theres no actual.. crust sorry for🤓on you, just thought I had to point it out

[@DeletedDevilDeletedAngel]

@@TheCrankSpiderNinja he said he drew the line at the crust, not like he said no crust is pizza

There are pizzas with different sauces tho, like alfredo. It just has to have some kind of sauce usually

This is my favorite comment ever

[@blown22]

Me and a buddy of mine worked in the deli-bakery dept of a grocery store together when this came out. We'd yell this back and forth, either one of us being Fred and the other Zhhhimmy. It started off on-script, but then after a day it went to "Hey Zhhhimmy! Gimme a cheese with a picture of Ed Norton on it!". "Norton??" Then from there it went totally off the rails what the cheese was with. Fun times in the mid-late 80s...

[@cheesebooba]

thats so fucking funny. kids will be kids

+Tim Asani Yes, and he was a firefighter on "Gremlins 2: The New Batch." Also yes, I don't know why Shimmy looks like that at 0:21. Some people are saying he looks like he got stabbed in the neck by a knife and died and some people say he got hung and died. It's unknown why he looks like that since he said "nothing" with confusion but once Fred gave the kids string cheese that should have cleared Shimmy's confusion knowing they wanted string cheese.
