This might just be the greatest radio commercial I've ever heard.

If you've ever dealt with fire ants, you know that fire ants are evil, bitey, fiery little bastards that even a devout Buddhist would think "OW OW OW FUCK KILL THESE FUCKING THINGS OW OW OWWWW!"

Which fact the folks at Ortho have used to craft the single greatest radio commercial I've ever heard, better even than Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" ads.

I mean, seriously, this is frickin' awesome. [http://www.scotts.com/smg/learn/video/videoPage.jsp?detailId=14000020&subNavId=&navId=page900216&title=-relatedArticle.title&parentId=100006]

So then, for discussion: Does this ad kick ass? And what other great radio spots are there that are funny/effective/badass that you can share?

(this post not paid for by Ortho, Deadspin---where I found it---or any other company or entity. Just me sharing it because I liked it.)

(edit: The site has more [http://www.scotts.com/smg/learn/video/videoPage.jsp?detailId=14000048&subNavId=&navId=page900216&title=-relatedArticle.title&parentId=100006] ads [http://www.scotts.com/smg/learn/video/videoPage.jsp?detailId=14000050&subNavId=&navId=page900216&title=-relatedArticle.title&parentId=100006] from the same campaign. Yay!)

Hahaha, yes this is the most awesome radio commercial I've ever heard. Sadly I don't I can't think of any to top it..

Everybody Dies! I love it.

I can't remember what the commercial was for, but I remember hearing the line "Are you in labour?" somewhere in a commercial that I've heard. It made me laugh far more than it should have.

The "everybody dies" line was pure gold. That is all I can really say.

 

[adumb24]

the only two words that can describe this ad are as follows ... FUCKING AWESOME!
yes killing those little bastards is a great joy which i get to do on my next off day

I bet some animal rights group is gonna find some beef with this. "Hey man, you spreading hate all over! Killing all fire ants is genocide, man!"

I can think of a few "so bad they're good" radio ads from my hometown, but sadly, no links.

I.....I don't know what to say. Radio commercials are generally annoying, especially from pest control companies, but I think this may just have made my day. Thank you, sir.

"And here's the best part: EVERYBODY DIES."

It's said in such a business-like voice you just can't not love it. Hilarious.

I think there was an ad for a game a whiiiiile back, Resident Evil maybe, where the tag line was "EVERYONE'S GONNA DIE!"

I thought that was pretty awesome, but yeah, this is great, too. ^_^

You just made my day, man. Those were great. I'll edit if I find/remember anything.
