This is one of the funniest dropped call spots from AT&T Cingular.

The butcher has some great lines and the level of discomfort are really good in this one.

I like the brand merge but isn’t about time to drop one of them. Switch it all over to AT&T.

The site has switched, I think it’s time to drop it from the campaign. Let the creative be the connection.

    Amazing commercial in did! BBDO WEST Advertising produced the spot and Marcello Daciano Directed it. He also worked with BBDO Advertising Milano in 1998 For a NOKIA Commercial.

    I would say that the best part of the commercial IS the ’silent laugh’. The guy is cracking up at the insult of his wife, yet the POOR Butcher has no clue that the other guy is laughing hysterically. Definitely, by far, the best commercial that I’ve seen in a while.

    I love the guy’s teeth that does the silent laugh. Pause it at that part, you will die laughing

    The guys teeth are a great shot, glad it made the cut. Very funny.

    Thanks for posting this…..

    I watch it over and over and over,,,my wife just shakes her head but I laugh harder each time I see it..!!

    Pure comic genius in the writing. The casting was flawless also. That big toothy laugh, and the sheer panic the other guy has in his words - just pure genius.

    Awesome! I can’t believe this isn’t on youtube. I don’t have Facebook. Is there any way to put it on MySpace?

    I’m trying to win a bet! I think the guy who’s wife ate the beef is Larry Drake from L.A. law(benny) among other things, but can’t find verification. Can anybody help ? Thanks

    This is a fantastic commercial! I never got tired of seeing this and laughed everytime. In fact, all of the AT&T dropped call commercials dating back to last year were funny. I would like to know where I can find them on the web?

    I also love this commercial especially. For some reason I’m intrigued by the actor who plays “Kenny”. I’ve seen him in other stuff. I think he sometimes plays a thug, maybe the big dumb one??? I might even go so far as to contact BBDO in California & see if they can tell me his name.

    [...] is an older AT&T commercial that we posted back in August, Cingular AT&T Dropped Calls | Meat Dept., but still is popular today.  So rock on Meatloaf’s AT&T Paradise by the GoPhone Light. [...]
