Worst Golf Shop commercial ever made Is actually quite brilliant

This must be what it felt like for that first happy souls who looked and witnessed the fresh paint dry on Michelangelo's mural on top of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Mike here might be a marketing genius, and maybe he's this whole Internet better than Mark Zuckerberg came up with. There is one thing that is not open for conjecture or debate is: Mike sure buy golf clubs.


Since we're on the subject of cold-hard facts, we can also inform you that PGA.com TJ Auclair recently spotted and posted this video on the website, proclaiming that despite your first gut reaction, this is a viral video at the time.

As of this writing, this short ad for Mike's Golf Shop with a description "Mike's Golf Shop fall 2013" has a 132,617 views on YouTube.

I'm guessing about five were actually looking for a golf store that bought golf clubs. The rest were so blown away by the fascinating information featured in this video they just had to share it with their friends, family and a random pet that might be in the room.

In 2013, we don't have flying cars or hover boards, but we have the Internet.

And what our love affair with the interwebz tells us is the worst is actually the best. People get dizzy to look at showings of The cream, the Butt fumble is celebrated as a birthday, and Alex Rodriguez farce is now must-see Internet.

Even the top comment on YouTube as of this writing, "that's what all ads should-just something quick that describes whatever it is you are doing or what service you offer, and where people you can find."

Oh, they reproduce with a rant about something, but I had to concentrate on my nosebleed caused from my mind is blown.

There's only one thing better than this commercial, and it is the fact that it is becoming so immensely popular. It means that I'm not alone in loving terrible things.

Suddenly, it seems my copy of Weekend at Bernie's II and affection for Pauly Shore flicks not so stupid.

Now, if you need me, I'll be watching this marvel of marketing one more time, think about how things went after Mike the camera turned off and strolled off into the distance as only a genius can saunter.

Maybe he was greeted by the woman who is lucky enough to have married this a miracle. "Mike, honey, did you shoot the commercial I asked you to do?"

Not your Baby in a corner, and you don't ask Mike questions for lunch. "Now, I told you to get off my back. I did the damn thing, now where's my hot bologna sandwich? "

Mike's Golf Shop: they "buy golf." Better yet, they buy golf clubs.

Well, Mike, you're doing a hell of a lot more than that. you move the meter to brighten up our day and what we as a culture care about.
