SpaghettiOs - gettin' jiggy!
Edited on Fri Apr-13-07 08:48 PM by Error
Just saw a Spaghettios commercial

Starts with some colorless line drawn white children eating spaghettios and when they dig in, the boy pulls his mouth open. Inside, there is a cut to some hip hop music and tricked out hot rod being driven don the block by a meatball he has three "holes" (O-shaped noodles) with him.

he lyrics said something about "the os on your tongue getting wiggy - there's a new sauce gettin jiggy". "The meatballs are bouncin' - that's no jive - if you get some give mom a high five"

So does that reference to 'Jig-a-boo' mean that the term is not offensive?

I think this thing is full of double entendres. It seems like they are suggesting a pimp and his whores, get some, balls bouncing... And this is a commercial aimed at kids...

2. That word is not associated with the word Jigaboo
The term jiggy was popularized by a Will Smith song

6. Actually it predates Will Smith by a decade.

Just like Bling had been around at least five years before a rapper mentioned it in 1999.

3. In your description there is no reference to "Jig-a-boo" ....
getting juggy and jig-a-boo are two different things....

Reading way too much into the commercial....

7. So what does giving mom a high five really mean?
Is it something Oedipal?
:rofl:
Hey, this could be fun! What other kid's commercials can we "find" hidden meanings in? We can send the list to Falwell!
