A recent commercial for Sprint phone company has name-dropped MCR. The concept of the video is two guys with sunglasses discussing on what music artist they should try to "get." At the end of the commercial:

Guy 1: Maybe Joss Stone.

Guy 2: Or My Chemical Romance.

Guy 1: Can't! How?

Guy: 2: "pulls out phone"

Guy 1: New phone, huh?

It is a stupid commercial, but I did think it was funny they name dropped MCR. I didn't realize they had gotten so big...

I squealed when I heard that too. It's alright - the ad chose to name-drop; MCR didn't sell out.

I think it's cool. The white guy makes me laugh though. haha. he just seems clueless and dumb. i think it's cool they mentioned the boys in the commercial ...i guess they've gotten bigger than i realized.

The first time I heard the commercial I was like, " Woot, oh yeah!" Now everytime I hear it I do that Napoleon Dynamite thing where he pulls his arm down and says "Yesss!"

That's actually pretty cool.
Because Joss Stone is kind of like... a legend, you know. And so that means the guys are really movin' on up Smile
And I'm guessing they, the guys I mean, actually didn't know about this commercial, so I wouldn't call it selling out. I wouldn't say they were anyway though, so that doesn't matter.

So wait, does the guy actually pull out of the phone or something. Like, a picture or something?
Cause that'd be pretty frickin' rad. Cool

When I watched that commercial I was surprised when I heard My Chemical Romance, I am kinda surprised they have gotten big. or maybe I have not realise they have gotten so big. Which I don't know if it's good or bad?

IT was cell/media commercial. The guy's like one of those meathead kind of guys and he's working out in a gym. He's talking to the camera, and puts his earphones on the camera(us, I guess), and it's Arms Race...then he gets a call from his girlfriend, takes the phone back and the commercial ends. So, the FOB one was more than a name drop, but that doesn't surprise me one bit.

I don't remember which phone ad it was, but it came on a lot back when I used to watch TV.

This commercial seriously makes me happier than it should.

Bahh; I'm just so proud of them.

I mean, c'mon. It's Sprint
