Oh man, who made that? This admissions-killer has been ruining our Saturday afternoons for far too long. Remember how you felt whenever Ayoob dropped back in the pocket? That’s how we feel when the narrator says, “What do you see?” The unspeakable dread has become a consistent Pavlovian anticipatory response to a pun so terrible, it nearly renders the English language irrelevant. Perhaps that’s hyperbole. But seriously, whenever we hear that “You see Berkeley” gem, our Cal pride gets tasered Kerry-style.We might as well have taken the ad money and given incoming freshman full rides to UCLA and Stanford. This makes the “General betray us” thing look like Churchillian word play. Fine, we’re done heaping praise on this masterpiece. We’ll just look at Cal’s ranking and calm down a bit. And yes, the Clog will eat these words on our next lame-punned headline.University of California Commercial [YouTube]

Yeah; quit whining. It’s not that bad at all. If you compare it with the craptasticness of other uni’s ads, you’ll see it in a whole new light.
