The sushi restaurant variant in which everyone is yelling “wasabi” was quite funny.

That wassup ad seems kinda racist now. But back then Bill Clinton's multiple sexual assault allegations were met with a wink and a shrug.

The commercials were based on a short film, entitled True, written and directed by Charles Stone III, that featured Stone and several of his childhood friends – Fred Thomas, Paul Williams, Terry Williams, Jimmy "Puerto Rock" Perez and Kevin Lofton. The characters sat around talking on the phone and saying "whassup?" to one another in a comical way. The short was popular at a number of film festivals around the country and eventually caught the attention of creative director Vinny Warren and art director Chuck Taylor at the Chicago-based ad agency DDB, who took the idea to August A. Busch IV, vice president of Anheuser-Busch, and signed Stone to direct Budweiser TV commercials based on the film. Scott Martin Brooks won the role of Dookie when Kevin Lofton declined to audition.[2]

So who is being racist?

Chip,

Everything seems kinda racist now. And sexist. And homophobic. And all these racists, sexists, and homophobes need to lose their jobs because people on twitter said so. Where you been man?

I hate the spelling of "wassup".

When i was 13, those commercials were rampant. When my baseball team was on the field, we'd all shout Wassuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhp every time our pitcher struck somebody out.

100% this would be considered taunting today and disallowed.

Do little leaguers even still chatter now?

Does it count as chatter when girls softball teams do cheers that are seemingly unrelated to what is happening on the field?

Chatter is individual, chanting is group saying the same thing.

I've seen multiple pitchers get driven to tears by chanting, starting around 8yo. Baseball is more directed at players and malicious(and fostered by dbag coaches), while as Dids said softball is more goofy **** that doesn't even relate to the game.

I would never say dilly dilly, but the commercials are tolerable, as far as commercials go

You can't allow people to go around saying "dilly dilly" willy nilly. imo.

I have never spoken it, but have posted it on 2+2 when the situation warranted. It has made the product memorable, so I do admire that about the ad campaign.
