I was driving around the other day and I hear Mr. Tom Bodett come on and do an ad for Motel6.com. Nothing too unusual there, but then Tom says ‘Totally Pwned”. OMFG.
I went to Tom’s site and Motel 6′s and googled, and couldn’t turn up the audio.
So I went oldskool and sent Tom an email and here was his response:
Kent,
Attached for your listening pleasure is the one. Go forth and multiply.Best,Tom
So with that here it is!
(the streaming sounds awful for me, but clicking on the file link sounds great!)

This is like when our dads started saying “far out” and “mellow” in the early Seventies. As soon as that happened we knew those words were dead to us. Sorry, gamers. You just got pwned.

That’s not just pwnage, its Über-pwnage. Still some of the best commercials.

Now I don’t feel like such a douche for telling my mom she was a noob for asking me what pwn’d meant last week. Yes- she asked what noob meant too, but maybe that word will pop up on an NPR support promo soon.

If you’re old enough that “far out” and “mellow” were actually cool during your lifetime, you might have ruined the term pwned before Tom Bodett did
