Super Bowl!

My favorite commercial of all time. King of the Hill commercial from many decades ago. Since I cant find the video to it, I'll post the lines and scenario from what I can remember

Hank Hill (King of the Hill) is impatiently waiting in line at a grocery store with a bag of chips, beer, and other types of junk food. He desperately wants to get back to watching the Super Bowl. A man is waiting in front of him with some fancy import beer, wheatgrass, and hummus.

Hank (to the man in front of him): "Excuse me, sir? Can I cut in front of you. I have to get back to watching the super bowl."
Man: "Oh, you don't think I do?" (in a snide remark)
Hank: "Well look at what you're buying.. Fancy beer. Wheatgrass. Hummus?! What the heck is that?! Is that some kind of dirt you plant the wheatgrass in?!"
(I dont remember the rest of the commercial.. I think the man explains the nutritional value of wheatgrass and hummus, and mocks Hank for buying junk food.)

To this day, replaying it over and over in my head, this commercial still cracks me up. Such a classic. I wish they would air it again.

Anyhoot. GO SAINTS!!!
