Bye Daddy! Bye Daddy! Bye Daddy!

February 28, 2008 11:03 AM

I'm looking for a funny commercial. I can't remember the company or the product, but the central character is a dad, wearing a shirt and tie and sitting at the breakfast table. As he silently reads the paper and eats his breakfast, he is surrounded by his wife and four or five teenage daughters who mill in and out of the room, all chatting and talking over each other and laughing.

He says nothing, but he looks up from his paper once or twice with a mild look of exasperation. Finally he gets up and says, "I have to go to work," with a mildly exasperated tone. As he gets up, his wife and daughters all say, "Have a good day at work dear! Bye daddy! Goodbye daddy! Bye daddy! Have a good day daddy! Byebye daddy! Love you daddy!"

VO: Slogan, name of product and company. Cut to black.

Is the family black? I seem to recall an ad that sounds like this about cell phones, and the kids and mom are all talking into their "phones" (i.e. their hands making the phone shape) and acting like they're all psyched, when of course the point is dad has been too cheap to buy them/pay for minutes. Can't remember the company, argh.

No, it's a white family. I think the dad had classic male-pattern baldness.

Could be two versions of the same commercial. I've seen the same ad with different actors when traveling once or twice (it's super disorienting).
