OT: Very Annoying

[Nicknack]

Was there another commercial yesterday that was more annoying than fatty Bo pitching that damn Arby's Reuben sandwich? After watching it 4-5 times just in the first half, I was really ready for it to "get outta here".

I'm in total agreement. Thank God for the mute button.
It was done cleverly from an ad standpoint. They set-up a strawman that the Arby's Reuben is as good as a NY deli sandwich (a ridiculous assertion). But then when the supposed deli owner (actor) tries the sandwich, Bo asks "That's a good reuben right?", and the deli owner says yea. But they never actually claim it is better than a real NY deli reuben. The 'Get Outta here" tagline reminds me of the famous "Where's the beef?" line.
