While watching our favourite Canadian teen drama, Degrassi, from noon until 8 p.m. one day last week while I was visiting Ohio, Tracey and I luckily captured this Fruit by the Foot commercial on her DVR:
It’s sort of the worst recording ever, but the hilarity of the commercial cannot be diminished by screen lines or weird camera noises. Am I right?

I should mention that Tracey later found a high-quality version. But I want more than 6 views on at least one of my YouTube videos, so watch mine first.
Can I just mention that we are totally made of win?
And also Pepsi Freeze.
Wow. I look like it’s my first time using a straw.
And also like you have no teeth.
That is extremely creepy..
We have nothing in common.
WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY?
I really think it’s all in the “indeed you haaaaave”. Especially because the kid is so mumbly and nonchalant.
I totally DVR’d the Degrassi marathon on Saturday. Instant love.
Then you’ll get to see the Fruit by the Foot commercial in its natural habitat. Lucky!
I couldn’t believe I missed so many of those episodes when they originally aired. There’s nothing I love more than a marathon.
Sadly, I remember the original Degrassi that aired on PBS. I always got so frustrated that they weren’t aired on a normal schedule. Plus at the time (late ele school), I didn’t quite understand much of what happened. I remember the twin girls and one getting pregnant. And kids drinking. And all I could think was, aren’t they afraid of getting in trouble? Where are their parents?
Yep, I was 80-years-old even then.
Even being in my mid-20s, I still feel like these “Degrassi” kids need some more parental guidance. That show is a great reason for parents everywhere to never allow their kids to leave the house. Especially for college.
Also, you are so amazingly badass for having seen the original when it actually aired instead of on DVD like Tracey and I saw it.
Wait, they have it on DVD?! Seriously? I might have to do some searching….
Yeah my mom didn’t really care what we watched. It was okay for me (“they are going to get in trouble!) but not so much for my sister (“They can do it, so can I”).
They sure do. The only place I’ve ever seen it aside from online is at Barnes & Noble.
This is a gift for you. Enjoy.
Ok, it’s really annoying when my post doesn’t post. So here’s the link:
I send you a Degrassi-related video that everyone is about to start talking about (Entertainment Weekly loves the guy and the song), and I get no comment? What the hell? Where’s the love?
Oh, you know what? I played, like, one second of the video at work the other day and was like, “Is this RAP?” I had no idea why you were linking me to it and figured it was related to your obsession with “Trapped in a Closet”. It hit me this morning what this must be, and now I’m really excited to watch it.
You thought I would just send you a rap video for no reason? Because I’m hardcore gangsta like that? That just made me realize that no matter how hard he tries and how suggestive his lyrics are, he’ll still just be Jimmy Brooks. He’ll always be the guy who tried to convince Toby to help him cheat by hacking into the school’s computers.
I don’t get his rap name, either. Isn’t his real name Aubrey? So not gangsta.
It’s his middle name. But why didn’t he either go with his middle and last name, which at least sounds more normal than just Drake, or just pick something else entirely. Just think how much cooler he’d be if his rap name was Jimmy Got Shot. I’d totally listen to that guy.
So, it turns out that I’ve actually heard this song in a real, live club. Other than the part about liking her without her makeup on, I didn’t think it was half bad, either. The video, of course, is grotesque.
What the hell?! I didn’t know this existed.
Also, where’s his wheelchair!? It’s a miracle!
Yeah, you know, I really expected that he’d keep up the wheelchair routine simply because everyone knows him from “Degrassi”. But maybe he’s trying to get away from the wheelchair to pick up more chicks. And maybe, just maybe, because it’s offensive to pretend to be handicapped.
Don’t you love it that one of these half-talented “Degrassi” kids actually made it?
He’s not the only one who made it. Darcy is on the new 90210, remember. Hiding her Canadian-ness from the world.
Off-topic: I LOVE DEGRASSI.
“Degrassi” love is always on-topic. Even in Presidental speeches and term papers.
