Behold: Sammy Stephens


let's dance


Yesterday I posted the Best Commercial EVAR!
Today I decided to do some research and find out just who this rapping furniture salesman is. His name is Sammy Stephens and his rapping commercial has made him famous. Above you can see him dancing with Ellen on The Ellen Degeneres Show. Yes, he was on Ellen.

The best clip of that I could find on youtube is from someone recording the actual broadcast off of the television. Something tells me that might have been Sammy Stephens himself.
Czech it: complete interview with Ellen | Sammy singing for Ellen

After posting the commercial on Facebook yesterday, Blewis said this:

This guy must be balling out of his mind if he thinks he’s going to place a 2-minute TV ad! To be honest, the first 90 seconds could’ve been cut and we’d get the same impression.
Also, motherfucker’s got some big-ass eyeballs.

Well, turns out the two minute commercial on youtube is the extended version, the director’s cut if you will. The actual 30 second spots were edited down from that opus. And apparently business is booming for Sammy Stephens.

There is also this interview with Sammy Stephens on The DL.

Best Commercial Evar?


The following advertisement was posted on youtube with the headline “worst commercial ever” but I vehemently disagree. I mean sure it’s no Sofa King and at two minutes it’s waaaay too long for a television commercial. It is two minutes of LOLing though.
