Source: Wikipedia: Whassup
Quote: | Whassup? was a catch phrase used in an Anheuser-Busch, Budweiser beer TV/radio commercial campaign in the early 2000's. The ad campaign became wildly popular all over the world, and a full blown pop culture phenomenon.
The commercials were based on a short film written & directed by Charles Stone III, that featured Philadelphia native Stone and his childhood friends Fred Thomas, Paul Williams and Scott Brooks. The short film, entitled "True", portrayed Stone and his friends sitting around talking on the phone and saying "Whassup!" to each other in a comical way. The short was the hit of many film festivals and eventually caught the attention of Vinny Warren, a creative director at the Chicago based ad agency DDB, who took the idea to August Busch IV, vice president of Anheuser-Busch, and signed Stone to direct Budweiser TV commercials based on the film. "Whassup!" went on to become one of the most award winning TV campaigns in history (winning the Cannes Lions Grand Prix award in 2000 and the Grand Clio award among others). Budweiser would later parody the ads with "yuppies" saying "What are you doing?", and New Jersey-ites saying "How ya' doin'?" The catch phrase and the commercials have been parodied worldwide, often using colloquialisms that appeal to a regional audience. For example, a parody of Yorkshire men used the phrase Ey up!, and Scotsmen used the phrase "How's about ye'?" |

Scary Movie came out in 2000, and that beats the 'early 2000's'. In addition, Scary Movie is the thing that made 'WHASSUUUUUP' a household item. |

My mom didn't know how bad it was so she took me to see it when I was 12. Very awkward - especially the part when the guy shoots the girl to the ceiling with jizz. |

Super Bowl Commercials trump movies. In any case there were probably people slurring "what's up" way before then, but nobody really paid attention to them except for Marketing wonks. _________________ Oldbie Server Help |

Scary movie said whaassup BECAUSE of the Budweiser commercials, it was institutional before the movie. _________________
