Beatbox commercial
They just aired a commercial that totally rips off the its always sunny in philadelphia beatbox commercial....so lame.
shareI can't even think of any connection between the two shows,so I'm pretty mad about it.

I thought the same thing, that is such a blatant rip off, its completely obvious
shareYeah i just saw that *beep* I think they may have heard that everyone thinks the show is rip off of always sunny and they made a commercial to maybe make a joke? i don't know. I used to hate the *beep* out of this show and I thought it was gone, but apparently it just a break.
OP: That kind of commercial has been around since the 80's, so the people from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia ripped it off from the last show that used it, and THAT show ripped it off from the previous show. To claim that 10IOL ripped that concept off of *anyone* would be like saying that Tide ripped off a Cheer commercial because they both showed children playing in the dirt.
shareFirst off, I don't think this show is a copy of the Office. Its a similar formula, but that's all. While Sunny is about my favorite show, I do like 10 Items more than most other shows on TV.
This commercial though, comes off as a clear copy of the Sunny beatbox commercial. I wouldn't say that Sunny ripped off that style from the commercials of the 80s, because so much of Sunny is built on their experiences they had growing up in the 80s. Seeing and remembering those commercials is surely one of them. More joking reference than anything, like "Hey, remember those beatbox commercials from the 80s?"
But for this commercial (The 10 Items one), being only like 2 years after the Sunny one, and sharing a TV genre, just feels like a copy of it. More like "Hey, remember when Sunny did that beatbox commercial?"
And for the Tide example; it'd be more like if the entire commercials were identical, but with different actors and replacing the word "Tide" with "Cheer"
