Commercialfilter..have you seen this commercial?

Can anyone identify this commercial? Bonus points if you can steer me towards a download or stream that's not AdCritic.

Three youngish IT guys are in an office. One is holding a boombox while the other two are dancing ridiculously. Another guy walks in and says "What are you doing, this shipment is missing and we can't get in touch with the truck fleet?" (or something along those lines). They stop, quickly check the status via cellphone and computer and then begin dancing again.

For some reason I'm thinking its an IBM commercial, but I'm not sure..any help?

Although I'm not familiar with the exact commercial, that sounds just like the Fedex campaign that's been running for a while now.

No, it's a Sprint/Nextel commercial. Don't have a link, though.

Sprint/Nextel. My wife's favorite commercial EVAR. Here's a link, though there are probably others out there.

There are a bunch of commercials available at ad-rag but I can't link to the page directly. Go there and use the search form in the top right corner. I found a ton of sprint ads, but I don't know if they have yours.

What an odd coincidence -- some of my co-workers were talking about this ad yesterday, but I hadn't seen it. Thanks!

My god, the commmercial makes me pee my pants every time I see it. Fricking awesome. I love the way the guys are dancing and then stop & start again so quickly. And think they're SOOO cool. :)
