Video - Mr Submarine Commercial 1991

YouTube of the day: Scottie Pippen for Mr. Submarine
Ball Don't Lie — This clip is fantastic for so many reasons. As a culture we've been so desensitized to the idea of unintentional comedy that this Scottie Pippen commercial would almost feel like a wind-up (not unlike the ones we see on Conan's show, starring this guy) if we hadn't actually seen it years before. The poor writing, bad acting, forced dialogue, roast beef, iceberg lettuce; it's all there, and it's all horrible. By 2008, it's all hilarious. Big thanks to the Blowtorch for giving us something to watch 142 times over the last week. As a bonus, it reminded ...

Random YouTube Magic: Pippen Is Mr. Sub
FanHouse — Filed under: Bulls, Eastern, NBA Videos, Chicago, The Word With Scottie Pippen sniffing around the Bulls' head coaching vacancy, expect some dirt to come out. Awful, awful things that his enemies will use to derail his bright future. This 1991 commercial is the first blow.

'LADIES, LET'S HAVE A PARTY'
With Leather - Sports news and gossip, panda sex, and the occasional Toonces the driving cat Photoshop — I find it pretty hard to believe that Scottie Pippen is having financial trouble, given his ability to sell gigantic erect hoagies to women. [The Blowtorch via FanHaus]

Scottie Pippen’s 1991 Ménage à Trois with a Starchy, Beefy Six-Footer
Empty the Bench — I’d say I can’t believe Scottie Pippen agreed to this, but then again, it was 1991, and this is Scottie Pippen we’re talking about. (Hat tip to the Blowtorch).

Thursday Bullets
ESPN.com - TrueHoop — Isiah Thomas says he won't be making any trades, which Knickerblogger sees as bad news for the rest of the league: "Phoenix nearly became overnight winners after Thomas freed them of Marbury and Hardaway. Orlando is now an Eastern powerhouse since Steve Francis left. Chicago had success once Isiah took Crawford and Curry off their hands. Toronto is up and coming since Jalen Rose was shipped south. And the newest member of the "Thank You Isiahâ club is Portland. The Trail Blazers could improve by 10 wins without Zach Randolph. While Isiah has crushed any optimism for the 2008 season, the only positive thing New Yorkers have at ...

NO TIPPIN' PIPPEN HANGS OUT WITH 6-FOOT TALL PHALLUS; LEAVES 'PAYMENT DUE' NOTICE ON TABLE
I *Heart* Celtics — -Big ups to Truehoop for unearthing this fantastic gem

The Most Awesome Commercial Ever
Basketbawful — I'm sure we've all thought the same thing at one time or another: if you combine NBA superstar Scottie Pippen, a delicious 6-foot hoagie and a couple of big-haired cheerleaders, you would have a great porn video, or at least a gloriously awful commercial. Quote of the century: "This is one six footer I ...

PIP'S QUIPS AND CLIPS
Epic Carnival — by Mac G, Mac G's World One of my favorite NBA ballers of all time, Scottie Pippen, has been back in the news. Recently, he made his professional basketball return by playing two games for the number one club in Finland, Torpan Pojat. Pippen scored 21 points total in two of his team's victories. He vows his comeback career is officially over and hopes his mini playing tour inspired young Finnish kids to pick up the sport of basketball. Pippen wants to coach in the NBA and possibly with the Bulls someday. He is not shy with his criticism of the individual Bulls players currently ...

Production Budget Low: A Video Homage to Local Market NBA Commercials
Empty the Bench — Trainwreck. That’s what happens nine times out of ten when you mix a professional athlete, a local product/service, and a low-production budget for a commercial. We understand that associating one’s celebrity status with a given brand has proven successful over the years, but sometimes the local ad guys should consider leaving such endeavors to the Nikes and Pepsis of the world. Then again, if the aim is to simply entertain, or to make your viewers furrow their brow in horrified confusion, consider these nine TV spots a resounding success. I’m sure there are more floating around out there; feel free to post a link in the comments or drop me an ...

R.I.P. Ed McMahon; An Ode to Sidekicks
The Sporting Blog — Cheers, Ed McMahon. Were it not for you, I would have never learned about the value of a good blooper, why checks are so much better when they're the size of surfboards, and how hard it truly is to be a quality spokesmodel. Renaissance man that you were, you did all of this while defining the role of sidekick for a generation, showing the proper way to chuckle along even when the jokes weren't funny and picking just the right moment of dead air to drop a "HhhhhhhYES!" to validate Johnny Carson's patter. You also only went on the air drunk once in 22 years, and in our book that's quite an accomplishment. So, as a tribute ...

Ball Don't Lie interviews Scottie Pippen
Ball Don't Lie — On Monday evening, as a way to pay tribute to Michael Jordan's impending induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame, Gatorade put together an impressive street art exhibit featuring 19,000 limited-edition Jordan-themed Gatorade bottles in a lit pattern that showcased Jordan dunking a basketball. The art, and ceremony, took place in Chicago. Scottie Pippen was on hand to witness the event, and place his own Pippen-themed Gatorade bottle amongst the display. Before the unveiling, Pippen talked to Ball Don't Lie. Scottie Pippen: Hey Kelly, how're you doing? Ball Don't Lie: ...

Like a sandwich, Scottie? Dunk you very much
Nick Friedell's Blog - ESPN Chicago — This video cracked me up. First of all, you've got young Scottie Pippen actually talking to a Mr. Submarine sandwich. You've got Pippen and two cheerleaders sitting on the practice floor actually eating the sub and awkwardly trying to force smiles. The two cheerleaders are loaded up with enough hair spray that their massive '80s-style 'dos are glued in place. At the end, when Pippen goes to dunk the ball, the intrepid producers superimpose the sub falling through the hoop -- ah, the creativity! This little gem was unearthed recently when my buddy Kelly Dwyer interviewed Pippen. The former Bulls forward laughed ...

Create-a-caption: Hat swap
Ball Don't Lie — Oh, you didn't know today was Scottie Pippen Day on BDL? Yeah, I sent a memo out yesterday and everything. It must have gotten lost in the Interwebs. [shrugs shoulders ala Jordan vs. Blazers] Anyway, continuing with the SP festivities, here's a classic pic of Olden Polynice trading hats on Draft Day with Pip. Doesn't OP looking positively giddy that he gets to play with Tom Chambers instead of Michael Jordan? Best caption/imaginary conversation wins a Mr. Submarine coupon. Good luck. After the jump, Kobe swings for the fences. Winner, ...
