Cingular: You'll Run Your Bill Up
Over the past decade, A Christmas Story has earned it's spot as the holiday film you just can’t help but watch; the film airs hundreds of times during the holiday season. With classic lines like “You’ll shoot your eye out kid” and “Frag-i-le, must be Italian” seeping into the mainstream, the movie is referenced year round.
A spin on Ralphie’s constant nagging and the film’s classic quote “You’ll shot you eye out kid,” this cell phone commercial adds a modern twist by combining footage from the movie with newly recorded voiceover. This Christmas, Ralphie wants a Motorola phone “with texting, games, and graphics.” The adult response to his Christmas wishes is “You’ll run the bill up.” It’s a good thing Cingular cell phone came to Ralphie’s rescue -- otherwise, he may start asking for a hard-to-find gifts like a PSP or Nintendo Wii.
