OK, I always thought this commercial was hilarious.

A little backstory:
This is a commercial for E-Trade that ran during Super Bowl XXXIV (in 2000). It is described by Wikipedia as the following: Two men and a monkey dance to "La Cucharacha". Then, the screen makes fun of the money being spent by websites on Super Bowl ads by saying: "Well, we just wasted two million bucks." It is an effective ad because it is totally unexpected and displays the importance of money management

All that description aside, I think this has serious meme potential. It's so freaking weenie!

I think the message itself has meme potential. For example, right off the top of my head, just splice in the michigan recount stuff going on with Jill Stien, then smash back to the "well, we just wasted 2 million bucks". Im sure you can find more examples out there as well, probably from youtube viral stuff and ad revenue.

Well, we just wasted 300 trillion bucks.

Well, we just wasted 4 million bucks

I am surprised nobody has mentioned this yet:

$28 million of un-finished potential

Well, we just wasted 6 million bucks (though considering how laughably bad this movie was, it might have been worth it).

Well, we just wasted 7.3 million bucks

That small loan of a million dollars certainly wasn't a waste.

I absolutely agree with you! This movie is so terrible that it circles back to being funny

Depending on your point of view, it's either 6 million bucks down the tube or 6 million bucks reallocated to another cause

You're making me feel sad…

That's because no one saw it.
