The Ultimate Cubs Vs. White Sox Smack Talking Video

I'm a Cubs fan. Go ahead and laugh.

Following in Sony's footsteps, New Era Caps' 2012 Major League Baseball marketing campaign focuses on my beloved boys in blue. The Office's Craig Robinson, who lived on the south side of Chicago and rooted for the Sox, and Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman, a Cubs fan from Minooka, Illinois, represent their favorite teams in this campaign.

While this video does a nice job of showing off both of these actors' comedic talents, I've had this conversation numerous times in my life, and most of the trash talking that came out of my mouth was just as ridiculous. Turns out Cubs fans don't have much to gloat about.

  • Cubs suck. GO TIGERS!

    The pizza joke was a tadbit offensive. Surprised this made it on television.
  • This was hilarious!  "All you have on your hat is a stocking, things puppies like to chew on for recreation..."

  • "Ha!" That's Ben Hanson's laugh.

  • The White Sox have won more than crushing disappointment in the last 100 years. The greatest player the Cubs ever had was Steve Bartman, who's catch that made the Cubs lose saved the Cubs from losing in the World Series. Remember the last time the Cubs won the World Series? Neither does anyone else, because they're all dead now. The Cubs losing is as guaranteed as the Sun rising in the East and Chicago pizza being delicious. The White Sox may have sucked last year, but at least they don't suck EVERY year. Go Sox! BAM!

  • Haha, the commercial is pretty good.  I don't have much a preference for either team, but I really like Ozzie Guillen quotes:

    "Because our fans are not stupid like Cubs fans. They know we're [expletive] … Wrigley Field is just a bar."

  • Rofl.

  • Go white Sox. For some reason we seem to suck for the past few years yet keep it close in our division. I swear i lose interest like half way through the season because were like 10 games out only to see with 10 games left we're 2 games out. I doubt that will happen this year.
  • At least the Cubs didn't just get swept by the friggin Mets. *sigh* C'mon Bravos
  • Funny video.

  • Cubs ftw!

  • It's because of the goat. Don't make the goat-man mad, you'll regret it.

  • that was good cake. surprised i havent seen this yet. real funny though......go cubs...even though both teams probably will be sitting around .500 by the end of the season

  • "The last time your leading hitter got to second base was his high school prom."

    "The last Cubs pitcher to throw a no hotter was your pitching machine."

    "Have-talent is one word?"  "Yes it is."

    Love this commercial!
