2020, and I still think it's one of the best commercials made. "Crab man" is the BEST! Eddie Steeples needs to be back on TV or in movies. He's awesome.
I am like all the other people in the office that just aren't as coordinated or as cool as he is. I think that's why I like watching the ad; it's great to see how GOOD he really is! Even in the auditions it's clear that he's WAY better than the other actors.
I absolutely love this actor and whoever created this commercial was a genius in my opinion. Thank you so much for posing this making of the commercial.
I am surprised that Office Max doesn't either keep showing this, or shoot a new version with another funky song and the same character as the RBM. This is about the most entertaining commercial in several years.
very rare (if ever) that i get excited that there is actually a "making of / behind the scenes" of a bleedin' tv advert! i must really be a tv junkie. i must really "watch too much television" grand dad, you were right when you told my parents, "that kid watches too much god damn tv!"
I agree this guy was the only guy there who I would have choosen, the other guys didnt have that funk that went with the song....good to see him again.
HOLY SHIT!!!! This is the best video evaaaa! I heart the rubberband man. THis video made me laugh my ass off, and feel relieved they choose some of those white guys to be the rubberband man. Victory shriek!!! Ow-OW
one of the best commercials i can remember in recent times. i wonder how much money the spinners (or whoever the copyright owner is) got for this tune...quite a bit i'm sure.
Brings back memories. Also, in case anyone doesn't know this is one of james robert kennedy radios favorite songs.. That's right. The radio from anderson, south carolina in the movie from cuba gooding junior
Comedy. I was looking for this about a month ago, amazed it wasnt on youtube. You have now made youtube complete. Soon, we will destroy the rebel..oh sorry went off there. I laugh my buttocks off at some of the auditioners.
Spinners never wrote the song. The song, written by producer Thom Bell and Linda Creed, was about Bell's son, who was being teased by his classmates for being overweight. Intended to make his son feel better about his self-image, the song eventually evolved from being about "The Fat Man" to "The Rubberband Man".

MOVIE! it would be horrid, but i could see it with a tangle of WallStreet and the MAN looking to infiltrate with an agent who is known as the RubberBand Man. to a snitch who called it in.

He’s not even the most famous person in this commercial, Stanley from the office is in the commercial.
At the 1:54 mark!!!
2017 and man!, i still love this commercial!

They need to bring this commercial back in 2020 this guy nailed it
so much! it's so positive and engaging, and it's got a dorky cool unapologetic attitude we need
Somebody would find something offensive. "Black clerk dances for white executives: racist."
@@jamespfitz Simply add in a backstory that he was the CEO, and did that every day because it made him and others in the company happy.

It’s 2022 and this still makes me happy. For me it’s the best commercial ever!
This was a great TV commercial program!
2020 this commercial is awesome still
Ok it's now 2018 and I still love this commercial. OfficeMax/Depot should revise it in some way.
2020 still one of the most memerable commercials of my childhood.
Puts me in my happy place, A song that will never grow old
Almost 2021 and this commercial is still so memorable and awesome!
I am surprised that Office Max doesn't either keep showing this, or shoot a new version with another funky song and the same character as the RBM.

2019 and still fun to watch Eddie strut his stuff! Very funny and talented man.

The collection of rear view mirrors on the supply cart just cracks me up.
Love these! Beats today's barrage of phone and car ads.
These were great commercials! They really nailed it with all of the scenes, characters, and Eddie Steeples as the rubberband man!

"Hey Earl. Hey Crabman"
2024! Still the main man!!! ❤❤❤
Need a movie about RBM
Steeples is AWESOME! I hope he gets a show.
I'm pretty sure the guy on the cutting board was from Jack the Robin Williams movie

Dude was literally meant for that roll.
