About

"That's a Lotta Damage!" refers to a quote from infomercial salesman Phil Swift during an advertisement for Flex Seal. After the advertisement was popularized by a JonTron video, "That's a Lotta Damage" was used in remixes and image parodies.

Origin

On June 25th, 2015, Flex Seal uploaded a video showing the power of its product, a spray which can harden and stop leaks. In the video, Phil Swift attacks a bucket with a knife and a chainsaw, creating huge holes in the bucket. Afterwards, he cries, "Now that's a lotta damage!"
