High four!

I just found out that a good friend of mine is going to be the new voice of Helping Hand in an upcoming series of television ads for Hamburger Helper.

My childhood dream of tearing it up with The Gloveman has just been realized.

Scotty, if you're reading this - congratulations on your exciting new Hand job!

Hahaha, that's awesome. And I don't know why they call it Hamburger Helper. It does just fine on its own..

Once they're geared up for production, ask your friend to have them add another finger.Oh, yeah, he should get that written into his contract so they don't start thinking he's a primadonna.

SkylersDad said...

Is your friend contractually obligated to have a digit removed?

Have you seen the size of that guy's fingers? Like there aren't enough things in the world to make a man feel inadequate - this Helper guy can cook, too?

The Imaginary Reviewer said...

Wow, he's playing a hand? That's impressive. Soon he'll work his way up to being a groin, then a torso, and eventually he'll be a whole boy!

I once talked to the guy who said "butter" for Parkay margarine commercials. It was a big moment for me.

The Guv'ner said...

HAHAHA awesome.

Why does that hand only have four fingers? I ask this all the time on cartoons. Was drawing a fifth finger just too hard? Are they taxed more on a fifth? What?

The Guv'ner said...

Um...sorry Dr. Z. I just noticed you beat me to the extra finger thing. Damn you! :)

Niiice!!

Bert Bananas said...

Isn't he afraid of being type cast? Although when's the last time you turned away a helping hand?

BeckEye said...

Seriously? Holy jeebus that's awesome. As a generally bad cook and lover of all craptacular foods, I love Hamburger Helper.

By the way, I have to tell you something. Every time I click the link to come to your blog, I start singing the theme song from an SNL skit in which Tracy Morgan played Astronaut Jones. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, here you go.

There IS a hand job out there that meets up to all the hype!

Dale said...

Everytime I use my hand, I just end up with a sticky mess.

Tony Spunk said...

Tony digs some Hamburger Helper. It's a lazy man's dream dinner. Or a guy who's too bitchin' to bother with cooking and shit. A man who has to sparkle in the evenings. Yeah. I kinda dig the Manwich too.

Grant Miller said...

I can think of a few ways to use that hand.
