The whole "within 1% of Verizon" is a weird flex.
"Sprint...We're ever so slightly worse than our competitors"
But we're a hell of a lot cheaper!!
Oh my god yes I've been saying this for years
@@mckelvey6058 Land area coverage isn't the only metric
At least they’re honest! 🤣
Cer Burrows IKR LMAO
god i love this irrational anger
HaddiEtana I identify with it
HaddiEtana much vibe
Verizon actually grossly mistreated Paul and wouldn’t let him come out as gay, that’s his actual partner in the Christmas ad.
I know. It's fucked right? At least now they're getting double paid for that commercial, kind of like some reparations shit. Still super unfair with how he and his partner were treated
O h
Wait whut, is that true?
@@keyofallworlds7549 totally true
wait really or is this a joke pls don’t r/whoooosh me
It's weird that he assumed we would just automatically know him, and it's weird that we flippin did.
He didn't even assume tho. He introduced himself and what he used to do. That's the only part of the video that bothers me 😆
Gigabytes Schigabytes!
Ethan And Jase Productions bring it on
ZADstudios niggabight shmegmabite
ZADstudios Sprint sucks ass
ZADstudios hey I bet Paul actually uses at&t or verizon
ZADstudios I know this vid is kinda old but incase you were unaware, the "gigabyte schigabytes" girl a CZcamsr
Keep up the good work love your vids
Just saying... I've never seen eddy and that sprint guy in the same room
🤔🤔
Thats the best!
Side not I just noticed how much they both look like Jared from subway and jail
Rachel Bowman there’s no question, Paul=eddy
@@paulrudd4559 no it's actually eddy=paul

These are all Todd quotes I guess?
I hate the whole 1% thing
It’s like “we will never be as good as our competitors and we stopped trying!”
"It's 2016 and every network is great." Both are lies.
Example: AT and T
@Nolan Takle how very very true

Hey tom5tom Entertainment I love you r content
Btw i subbed
I thought the sprint guy looks like Jared Fogle
this guy reminds me of Paul from the sprint commercials
+Eddy Burback we'll you sure do look like him
This guy reminds me of the “can you hear me now” guy from the Verizon commercials
Eddy Burback stfu u knew what u were doing
Sprint realized what a mistake it was to contract the old Verizon guy who quickly became the most hated person in marketing. They thought he would look cool next to an even more annoying character, "The Sprintern."
First they annoyed us, then they insulted our intelligence (the latter is even more offensive). My Verizon reception is weak at my new house so I will be switching to any company other than Sprint.
Haha! Same
Me: “Oh! It says he’s streaming tonight! Maybe I’ll go check out his strea-“
My dumbass realizing this came out 3 years ago
Dude come on
YEA WOOHOO HE'S STREAMING!
Oh
Hahahahaha
Maybe its still going…?
Ya know how when Superman puts on his glasses he becomes a different person. Well when eddy puts on bigger glasses he becomes Paul.
He put on a mustache because people found out his secret identity.
This reminds me of that one quote from Kill Bill 2.
5:40 That's Paul's actual partner. He was harshly encouraged to remain in the closet when he worked for Verizon. Now, he works for Sprint and is out
I don't think that's because of the companies though, just society at the respective times
ssonorK yeah I mean back then gay marriage was illegal almost everywhere in the US so of course they wouldn’t him to be out. I guarantee you if they used him in a commercial and thought they’d get more business if he appeared gay in the commercials that they’d definitely do it.
@@alexisd6106 exactly
Why do you know so much about Paul??
mini-munch it was a big news story. He did an interview all about it somewhere
Guess who's never being sponsored by Sprint...
JimTheFish I'm screwed
Oh I love Jim the Fish!
Jew jew on that beat
Me
Guess who's going to be sponsored by Verizon...
I personally hate the sprint commercials because their slogan is “we aren’t as good, so we don’t cost as much”
Its quite a good spin on it tho ngl. If they know they cant compete in service, saying theyre pretty much the same for a person listening sounds like a good deal.
Well unfortunately that's the only way they could compete for customers and that ultimately is why tmobile bought them out but I pay less than t-mobile customers for a better plan that includes tidal Hulu lookout and amazon prime as well as 120 gigs of highspeed hotspot and unlimited 3g hotspot after the 120 gigs is used
If you assume the claims are truthful, that's a pretty good increase of value per dollar.
"I'm not Paul..."
That's something Paul would say.
This comment is a lie, Paul really wants you to know that his name is Paul, it's very important to him
Since I'm not American I didn't know sprint was a mobile network. So for half tHE FUCKING VIDEO I THOUGHT IT WAS A COMMERCIAL FOR THE DRINK SPRITE
Joana Marques lmao you just dumb then XD
They literally said network throughout the whole video and were talking about phones. Network reliability and comparing it to Verizon which is the best cell phone provider in the us.. lol
Guys, I think this person is obviously exaggerating when she says half the video.
Joana Marques ayyyyy lmao
CHloE748 don't be rude, this is a Christian server
I remember reading an interview with Paul when Verizon ended their ad campaign, he said that he had made a lot of money, which was nice because the contract with Verizon said that he could NOT do commercials for ANYONE for x amount of years. I think that is kind of interesting to think about, when that time frame expired did his agent just start calling all the phone companies... "Hey! Paul is available now." Or did Sprint hunt him down because they knew his agreement with Verizon had finally expired?
Also kind of a risky move don’t you think? Like if I was running an advertising campaign i wouldn’t want to hire someone who switched to direct rivals just a few years later. I’d imagine he’s blacklisted from so many companies now lol
5 years isn't a short amount of time.
sprint reached out to him, I read an article on it that someone else posted somewhere in this comment section (www.nytimes.com/2016/10/15/business/sprint-verizon-hear-me-now-paul-marcarelli.html)
Are we not going to talk about how she said “overjizz” after gigabyte Shmigabytes
Overages
mamrie wtf lol
I definitely heard overjizz tho
I SAID THE SAME THINGG
Mamrie fucking Hart - god she's fantastic
Fun fact: Eddy grew a mustache so he wouldn't look like Paul
"Spirit, we're not as good as version but we sure do cost less."
Oy vey
*sprint
damn u managed to spell both of the carriers wrong
Devin Meier idk why but it made me laugh even harder
@@willowreese9919 HAHSHSH SAME
My girlfriend makes fun of me because these commercials make me so mad. So when I saw the title of this video I nearly flipped because I knew that you were going to complain about the same exact thing. And the fact that you also connected to Paul from DNA productions just kind of made my day and made me like actually laugh out loud. Because that’s all I think of whenever I see the Commercials.
It's all we can ever think of too when we make em. ;)
cool....sounds like a personal problem.
😒
Tim Hook what, would you rather have one of those “nobody: me:” comments?
Maya Betancourt bro I’m not even kidding you living in philly there’s a sprint store somewhere close by center city and it has a huge HUGE wall with nothing but this guys smug ass god damn face I can’t believe they built their whole campaign around a throw away actor
Maya Betancourt ok
6:11 I like it that eddy edit his face on paul face as if it'll make a difference.
How would you feel if "Jake from State Farm" switched to Allstate?
See then I'd give a shit, Jake from State Farm's way more iconic
That would be an effective campaign because Jake from State farm actually matters and has become a cultural like thing associated with State farm. Nobody remembers Paul lol
@@shadeeldridge9711 I do agree!
So THAT'S what happened to the original Jake.
The original Jake is way better than the reboot jAkE - fuckin fight me ..... hahahaha
Isn’t that mamrie hart playing the “gigabyte shmigabyte” lady?
Yes, I screamed when I saw her
I honestly thought she said "gigabytes megabytes" but I'm not sure
gigabytes shmigabytes overjizz
I thought he was gonna drag mamrie but he just skipped it 😂😂
@benzo STOP
Actually, that’s Paul’s husband in the Christmas ad. Just a fun fact!
I don't believe you
ZRDR Look it up.
He doesn't have a husband
OMG so cute
tia thomas Yeah..that's so fun....fun fact, a little funny fun fun fact..
3 years later, it continues...
bean k the legacy.
I’m just annoyed with that face Paul always makes when he’s like, “Why haven’t you switched?” Shut up Paul sheesh
I remembered him. Those Verizon ads were iconic. I remembered "Can you hear me now?" the rest of my life.
Logan Hurley what did you die or something

Calm down Russ
Yes iconic honestly!
eddie having a mental breakdown for 11 minutes straight
That’s all of his videos lmao
It’s not just money. When you are in a huge ad campaign like “Can you hear me now?” You are not allowed to be contracted to competing businesses for a certain amount of time. From what I can recall, he was unable to get other commercial work for 10 years? That’s why it was so long for him to pop up. Meanwhile, he’s stuck in a contract with a company that is forcing him to stay in the closet. I know the commercials are annoying, but the dude just wanted some revenge. When you’re a commercial actor, you’ve got almost no rights. I’m sure you’ve gotten this comment a million times already, but honestly, as a queer actor, I just hop eother people scrolling the comments will see this and have little more sympathy for the dude. He doesn’t write the fucking commercials, he was just trying to make some money with a company that wouldn’t actively oppress him. Especially because the only good way to make money in commercials is national campaigns, and once you’re in one, you can’t get another for a VERY long time.
Something tells me someone had a traumatic experience
Is it bad that when I first saw the ad I actually did say, "holy shit, it's the can you hear me now guy".
Why are you making fun of yourself?
@@pearly2346 yeah, uh, you noticed
..
lmfao
SHHHHSHHSHHH
@Austin Byrd ha your comment had me like 😬
@@Nabooze your reply had me like🤢
Love the one at the cinema. Paul‘s essentially saying Sprint is almost as good as Verizon, and the woman's eyes widen in astonishment, like: oh wow, almost as good? What a great selling point!
Sprint Paul looks like someone tried to draw Eddy Burback from memory.
The “oo” guy is from community what a legend
I scrolled a lot untill someone recognized todd
What I love about the new commercials is that he keeps saying “all carriers are great now” because sprint knows they don’t actually have anything better to offer in terms of their coverage
I almost feel like he was like "Hey, let's add this in." because he doesn't actually like Sprint that much but they paid him a lot, and they were like "what a great line!"
That girl was Mamrie Hart from “you deserve a drink” on CZcams
Even in 2019 these ads are still running. Yikes.
IDK
I haven't heard one where he said something like "I used to ask 'can you hear me now?'"
It's 2020 and now it's more of that obnoxious "Sprint-tern"
This whole group of commercials was just Sprint admitting they’re not as good as other carriers
Shit! I forgot to say the stream was at 7:00 CST! More info in the description!
I'll be there
Memtron 22 lol, so will I buddy, so will I. 😔
I'm not kidding, when I worked for sprint they made us wear "paul glasses" for at least 2 weeks straight. I kept the glasses. XD
Woah. The "gigabyte, schmegabyte" woman is Mamrie Hart of The Holy Trinity of her, Grace Helbig & Hannah Hart
Yes! YDAD!
I literally got a sprint ad in the middle of him talking trash.
I fucking hate the new paul commercial where there's this black family enjoying lunch and the mom just asks Paul(who she wouldn't have even fucking seen because he was walking behind her), "are you happy you switched" THATS NOT HOW HUMAN INTERACTION WORKS KAREN
I haven't even seen that one but I genuinely thought they'd be done with him like 3 months ago. But no! He's still their campaign!
Eddy Burback It's the actual fuckin worst. And it's like every other video for me. HEY!!! ARE YOU HAYYPPY THAT YOU SWITCHED
Saam Star 😂😂😂
I remember when I first saw these commercials thinking that I would never go to Sprint bc it makes him look super untrustworthy? Idk lol
2020: "Hello, I'm Paul. I switched to T-Mobile because the company I was working for got absorbed." ROFL
8:36 Oh hey, it's Tod! still being weirdly friendly and happy
Commercials are like Lele Pons videos. REALITY ISN'T REAL.
Supernaturlisch I love your pfp.
Not gonna lie, I'm younger than Eddy, but my first thought when I saw the new campaign was "wow, that traitorous soon of a bitch!" Because I never forgot those ads.
*son
5:28 Looked it up, that guy is his husband in real life.
whenever someone can't get service inside my school we all instantly know they don't have verizon, because thats the only service that works in there
OH MY GOD that’s TODD! from biology!! who always talks about his dumb baby. *NO* *OFFENSE* *TODD*
THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO SNAP OOH GUY IS
I was waiting for someone else to notice
Todd comes with a turtle though.
“None taken!”
YOUR LOVE IS WERID! AND TOXIC! AND DESTROYS EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES! OFFISE TAKEN!
Ok I was hella worried about schmigabites but I'm super chill about my gigabites so what do I do?
8:07 That’s Todd! And he is a US Veteran.
The turtle
This is the most family-guy you-know-what-grinds-my-gears style rant ive seen from Eddy since i ran into his channel a week ago
I think this is why this ones my favorite
Lol he is contracted to have to say Verizon in every commercial from his old Verizon contract so that’s why he always says it in the Sprint commercials!
That's hilarious
This is the funniest thing you've ever reviewed. More shit talk please
Isabel Thiessen I'll just become a commercial reviewer
The funny thing now is that Sprint doesn't exist anymore, they merged with T-Mobil.
Eddy: 1
Paul: 0
It’s 2019 and he’s still in the sprint ads
It's 2020 and he's still in the Sprint ads
Operatic Egg it’s 2080 and he finally died. But his corpse is still in the Spring ads
Sprint: Come to us we're only a little bit more shittier than Verizon.
Maybe sprint should stop making ads and start using the ad money to build more and better cell towers 🙄
Dw T-Mobile bought sprint
The "can you here me now" ads are actually waaayyy older than 10 years. Without looking it up I remember they were on a Hawaiian Island
That snap fingers “ooh” guy , had me laughing my ass off . It’s not even 8 am and my dad is now complete
Congrats on the complete dad

I'm glad your dad is complete

honestly, I've been waiting for someone to say this.

@@EddyBurback Has everyone forgotten when Luke Wilson was the terrible spokesperson for AT&T?
4:30
I mean, yeah it’s stupid but....
Yes....they 100% expected everyone to go “OMG ITS THE CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW GUY”
They did. That’s why they did this campaign. They expected people to remember him as a previous mascot for Verizon. There is no deeper reason.
paul has a boyfriend, thanks for coming to my TedTalk
*husband
How is this video about literaly nothing I am familiar with so goddamn entertaining?
Isn't that mamrie
Honestly this video is perfect. From the editing being a flawless time capsule of the yt era it’s from but the subject of the video gets better with age. Both of those haunting over-played ad campaigns had been so successfully repressed watching this video was a new kind of jump scare. But like also eddys bravery in saying what we all were thinking is free healing. 10/10.
Maybe it's because I'm just a few years older than Eddy, but this was really memorable marketing imo. That guy absolutely was identifiable as the 'can you hear me now' guy and it was memorable and surprising to see him as the Sprint guy. I 100% remember seeing this on TV.
Jimmy neutron would be proud of that reference
Sarah Lucescu Are those real glasses? Lol.
Sprint needs Paul to do a reaction video to your reaction video
I drink cat💩
fish flakes tf
Yeah that could be cool but it would be kind of wierd if he reacted to his own video.
Sprints service is absolute shit where I live. Literally don’t even get 2g in half my city. But yeah sprints as good as Verizon sure.
Just want to say this before the video starts that I've been saying this for the past two years. Thank you for having a louder voice in the community, and letting everyone know about these garbage commercials. I honestly don't know a single person, maybe one, that's on a Sprint plan
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
Jon B oh... shit! I wasn't ready.
I hate commenting on stuff so old but fuck the beep test man
"run as long as possible"
Jon B oh wow you guys remember this meme haha so epic and funny
Jon B This gives me anxiety.
Is this the Paul from those Sprint commercials
Haha look guys its Paul.
I have never felt such levels of betrayal and outrage as when I saw these ads. I am glad someone else feels my pain. HOW COULD PAUL DO THIS TO VERIZON!????
The honesty and relatability in these videos is off the charts.
I love how eddy is so funny and adorable. Too cute.
Hey Eddy mate, don't worry whether or not what you're covering is trending or not. It can be really cool to hear from you about topics that we may not have heard about or seen before. Some of the best commentary shows talk about issues most people don't know about at all.
Keep it real, my dude. Positivity and the like from us all.
I always hate when Verzon charges me for too many bagelbites.
i had a fuckin sprint ad before this im dead
I hate these commercials too!!
Gotta love getting a Sprint ad before this video
Why is this my favorite video of yours? Love it
you missed out on the overjizz thing you could’ve joked on that hard
I've been a sprint customer for the past 6 years. (I had Verizon before bahaha)
But, I hate this commercials. Even as a loyal sprint customer.
+CnixKnight7 I respect you for admitting this I know it must have been very hard
I was on the fence about subscribing to you but this, this convinced me
Paul is in fact gay, and his husband is in the Christmas ad
You saying shmigabytes has officially been the peak of my 2018. Nothing will top this
I kind of like these commercials actually cause he got fired from Verizon for being gay. He had difficulty getting jobs for a while i think then sprint picked him up! That guy in the Christmas tree that he gives the coffee to actually is his boyfriend! Idk i know corporate pinkwashing is pretty bad but i am a simple gay desperate for acceptance from society so every time i see him give his boyfriend the coffee my heart is like :)
I know your comment is a year old but I feel the need to tell you that I'm fairly certain he didn't get fired for being gay; his contract with Verizon just ended because they stopped running that ad campaign.
To piggy back off what the other person said. He wasn’t fired for being gay, he actually wasn’t fired at all. The marketing campaign ended but since he was under contract he continued “working” for Verizon with pay. The part people are confusing is that the Verizon “Test Man” was supposed to remain anonymous, his name and identity were never supposed to be shared. So he attempted to hid his identity and divert attention from himself to avoid violating the contract. There was an incident where teens were stalking him and yelling homophobic slurs and he did not file a report for fear of the media finding out and making him and his life public. I think people confusing the situation and think he was fired for the event when he wasn’t and it was also his decision to go to that extreme. He was never told not to report the teens. He is just now making appearances because his contract is over and Verizon no longer uses that commercial. He says all this in an interview with the Huffington Post from last year. www.google.com/amp/s/m.huffpost.com/us/entry/848761/amp
@@AlejandroP1980s what does this mean
It's fun watching this video for the first time after Sprint is already gone.
Also... When she said "Gigabytes, shmigabytes", I really really wanted 'niggabytes' to come next.
I'm glad Paul created this channel so we can keep up with his life. Thanks Paul!
I am glad someone made a video about this
Yooo they gave the version sprint guy a shoutout on Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 6
I love how this add campaign lasted 4 years. It only ended when sprint merged with T-Mobile, and now no longer exists.
I remember these ads. They bothered my elementary school brain so much of why a company would admit they are bad; it still hurts my brain today.
