By far the best commercial on TV right now. Every mom that I know absolutely loves it and even though I've seen it 100 times, it still makes me laugh.
steve May 23, 2007 23:50
its "That's what's so S...dang...F!", not "S... N... F", and in the voice over he says "NBD" instead of "no BD". other than that you pretty much have it here. I love this commercial!
Matteo May 26, 2007 17:15

So awesome. I can't find a picture of this. and what does NBD mean?
splendAd Admin Keith June 08, 2007 21:49
To everyone asking about the girl, we don't know that info yet. Someone claims to know her here: http://milesrausch.com/2007/05/14/i-d-k-my-b-f-f-jill

And NBD means "no big deal"
valjean June 11, 2007 11:50

WTF June 14, 2007 14:17
Why in hell is this mother letting a 12 year old have a cell phone for anyways? Do parents actually PARENT anymore?
[Anonymous] June 20, 2007 15:53
Yes, we do parent and we let our 12 y.o.'s have cell phones in case of an emergency and we are not around, that's why.
[Anonymous] July 09, 2007 13:39
Hey i've had a cell phone since i was in 4th grade so who cares about a 12 year old having a cell phone!
DLH July 12, 2007 22:53
Who sings the radio ad? I thought it was the Beatles but can't find anything to support it!
DLH July 12, 2007 22:54
Ooops - hit submit too many times!
LAC September 17, 2007 01:49
can somebody please tell me the name of the girl that plays Beth Ann??
SA September 19, 2007 22:02
Who cares about the girl. The mom is so damn fine. Wish she would yell at me about my phone bill...or anything else for that matter.
GOB September 27, 2007 16:44
"Emergency purposes"? WTF the girl Beth Ann had a bill for 3000 text mess. hardly emergencies. There is no earthly reason for any child to be using a phone this much. Of course it is a commercial ad for a product they are trying to sell you the idea that you need this item when actually plenty don't.
GINNY September 27, 2007 16:51
Beth Ann is the star that's why her name is mentioned & not the mom. So that's why the ?'s on her identity, I too would like to know for hiring purposes, she is good. If you notice shd is the followup commercial as well, though somewhat noticebly older & much improved facial expressions as well as more screen time.
CB October 08, 2007 23:58
I think the mom is the star of the commercial! The kids are just rolling their eyes and stuff but the mom has all the funny facial expressions and funny tones in her voice, etc. She is the star of the commercials and I think it would be funny if they made a 3rd commercial and had her hiding out in a closet somewhere texting hahaha! Too funny!

Victoria Goldsmith is the daughter
anonymous October 21, 2007 19:08
How old is the girl?
[Anonymous] October 23, 2007 01:10
What's the grandmothers name??
[iknowher.] February 01, 2008 23:49
the girl is vic goldsmith! i know her! she is 11 (well, maybe 10 when she filmed it) and currently in 6th grade. she is a friend of a friend, and was very sweet to me when i met her.
hoboken February 25, 2008 20:12

patrick March 06, 2008 22:15
