Dude, You're Getting a Tequila!

Posted by Alex in Advertising, Everything Else on November 9, 2007 at 3:01 am


Remember the Ben "Dell Dude" Curtis, the star of the "Dude, you’re getting a Dell" commercials?

Well, after he was caught buying pot in 2003, Ben was fired by Dell. He’s now a waiter and bartender in a restaurant in New York:

Do people ask you to repeat the catchphrase?
I’ve had tables of young girls who think they recognize me, and when they ask me, I say “yes” and then they don’t believe me and they start arguing and ask me to do the catchphrase and I’ll laugh and say, “It’s been four years, but I’m glad you’re a fan.”

    Dude, read the article. It says where he works.

    I'm surprised people recognize him. Makes for a good cautionary tale, I suppose.
