I love that Freddy is able to entertain the idea of a pizza with no tomoto sauce, but draws the line at no crust, he is a very reasonable man, all while jimmy only ever has a look of confusion on his face
yeh cuz a pizza with no sauce is just a pizza with no sauce, same with a pizza with no cheese but a pizza with no crust has nothing to hold its shape, therefore it's no longer a pizza also, that would defeat the entire purpose of calling it a pie, since theres no actual.. crust sorry for🤓on you, just thought I had to point it out
I love them because “be patient” and “week old pizza half price” kinda make sense, but then there’s a sign that literally just says “no screaming”. Some mad man had to have come into that pizza store screaming up a storm to make that sign necessary lol
One of the best commercials ever. I was just telling my daughters about it while eating polly-o string cheese with them. Great memories for great times. Thank you for uploading.
The acting in this is “ Bellissimo “ just the “gimmie a cheese wit NOTHIN” “NOTHIN?” was perfect. The hand movements were just the cherry on top. You did the Polly o string cheese ad the justice it deserves.
@@eskibileyci198 thanks for picking up on the error, my bad bro. I guess I just always remembered the ad with pizza instead of cheese. fun fact: you gain nothing from correcting me, what benefit did you expect? Sure, I could rewatch the ad, but was it really worth it?
Me and a buddy of mine worked in the deli-bakery dept of a grocery store together when this came out. We'd yell this back and forth, either one of us being Fred and the other Zhhhimmy. It started off on-script, but then after a day it went to "Hey Zhhhimmy! Gimme a cheese with a picture of Ed Norton on it!". "Norton??" Then from there it went totally off the rails what the cheese was with. Fun times in the mid-late 80s...
A friend and I once had an hour long debate on whether the guy said "gimme a cheese with nuttin" or "gimme a pizza with nuttin." I'm gonna rub in his face that I was right next time I see him.
"give me a pizza with extra cheese" "extra cheese 👍" "and hold the tomato sauce" "hold the tomato sauce???" "and hold the crust" "hold the crust?!" "hey shimmy, gimme a cheese wit NUTTIN" "Nuttiiinn???????????"
“Hold the tomato sauce” the way he said that and the look on his face reminded me of that scene in Malcom in the Middle when he asks for skateboarding lessons, and Brian Cranston looks over very seriously with the background suddenly fading to black, and in a serious tone says something like “there’s no going back after this”
Such a classic commercial. I wish they'd come back with some throwback string cheese with the original wrapper. Does ANYONE remember the Pepperoni flavored string cheese? I can't find proof it existed.
🤣🤣omgoodness..this commercial brings back some memories..I used to say it all the time..I still find myself saying those French sayings!! Love me some nostalgia!! Njoy life everyone
There’s something so whimsically charming and hilarious about this commercial. The facial expressions of Fred and Shimmy (Jimmy?), the closeup camera angles, the absurdity of the kids order, all feels like it came straight from a National Lampoon film
+Tim Asani Yes, and he was a firefighter on "Gremlins 2: The New Batch." Also yes, I don't know why Shimmy looks like that at 0:21. Some people are saying he looks like he got stabbed in the neck by a knife and died and some people say he got hung and died. It's unknown why he looks like that since he said "nothing" with confusion but once Fred gave the kids string cheese that should have cleared Shimmy's confusion knowing they wanted string cheese.
This commercial was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard a coworker say he likes his burgers without cheese.... I'm just going to assume he has accumulated MULTIPLE culinary felonies under his belt in his lifetime XD IT'S INCOMPLETE XD
@griffinator69 I was HOLLERIN' at your comment...and of course I had to run it past 0:19 several times!! LOL Your spelling of "Dzschimmy" had me laughing more than the actual commercial! This commercial came to my mind earlier today, and I knew YT was my go to. You don't get much better than this for back in the day commercials. Thanks for the laugh!

That "Nugh-tinnn?!" part always made me never forget this commercial, lol.
I like how the guy scrunched up his face while saying that word lol
Agreed! My Italian grandfather died in 98 and I can hear his voice repeating, “Nuttdinn?” He liked it so much that I remember him 25 years later
Get me a cheese wit nut
anyone know who played that guy saying nottin?
NUHDDIN?
The pure confusion in Fred's voice at "hold the tomato sauce" is priceless
It's like the kid just asked about some horrific cheese-related incident from his yesteryears
@@KynG5this genueinley describes his tone perfectly.
Agreed
It became a meme
You could feel the Italian in him flaring up
I like that 2 of the 3 kids speak French at the end, even though they’re using Italian pizza place stereotypes.
That always confused the crap out of me as a kid.
RIGHT?? WHAT IS THAT ABOUT?
thats what I just said
It’s an American ad about string cheese, they just wanted to sound fancy
I think they were going for a French chef sort of thing at the end
I'm 45 and this dumb commercial still runs through my head now and then.
that is why my therapy is taking it out on my adult sons lol , they are a good sport about it

@@TheCrankSpiderNinja he said he drew the line at the crust, not like he said no crust is pizza
There are pizzas with different sauces tho, like alfredo. It just has to have some kind of sauce usually
@@HusbandoCollector just ask for different sauce then, don't ask for nothin
White pizza exists y’know
My friends and I would routinely act out this commerical when we were kids. Gives me a real chuckle watching this all these years later.
Then we have something in common. Lol
@@rangers94ism Our love for both the Pollo string cheese commercial AND the 1994 NY Rangers Stanley cup team?
@@chrisd530 Yes sir!
0:05 he says it like he’s a mob boss getting word that his son got whacked by a rival mafia
"Look at how they massacred my boy"
Telling this to an Italian has no difference with that.
I love how Vinny bites a huge chunk of the end of it, kind of defeating the purpose of a string cheese.
He can do what he wants cuz he's the leader of the "gang". You can tell by the leather jacket. He's like a mid 80s Fonz-nerd.
@@blown22TRUE
I like biting string cheese
v-vinny?
like, vinesauce vinny?-
Biting string cheese is objectively better
I want those signs, "no screaming" "be patient meatball!" "Week old pizza half price"
I'm dead, I didn't even notice lmaoo

I know you posted this 8 months ago, but I just wanted to tell you that this funny anecdote from your past really made my day. Thank you!
Sounds like some laugh tbf
Thank you. Now I understand he wasn't Jimmy, it was Zhhhhhimmy. I can pronounce it properly now.
"Zzzzhhimmy" has me dead dude, you need to post some other examples of what the cheese was with lol

Me neither. Anyways how’s your life after these two and a half decades?
@@jooot_6850one and a half*
Hey Jimmy give me a cheese wit Nuttin...
“Nuttttin...”???
Lmao 😂
the best part of this ad is the signs in the back, "week-old pizza at half price", "no screaming" lmao
That commercial was the best in the whole world!👍🏻😄❤️💕
The request was so absurd it made him break his "No Screaming" rule.
“Now you can get the best part of the pizza without the pizza!”
Me who gets pizza without cheese: *hmm yes I do enjoy consuming oxygen*
fred’s whole world flipped upside down with the “hold the tomato sauce???”
whoever played Fred portrayed the alarm and terror of an Italian hearing a fucked pizza order perfectly.
"give me a pizza with extra cheese"
"extra cheese 👍"
"and hold the tomato sauce"
"hold the tomato sauce???"
"and hold the crust"
"hold the crust?!"
"hey shimmy, gimme a cheese wit NUTTIN"
"Nuttiiinn???????????"
0:14 love the way you peel that cheeeeeze😩
It's about to make me cream cheese
Take a shower
The signs on the walls, classic
"No Screaming!"
"Be Patient Meatball!"
And my favorite,
"Week Old Pizza, Half Off"
Quoted the whole commercial word for word after not having watched it for over 30 years!
I used to love this commercial and quote it every time it came on. Wow 💙😢memories
SAME!!!🤣🤣👍🏾
@@antisocialbutterfly3680 ☺️💕
Me too!
@@jenniferwhittlesey4894 💕
Just realizing I've been saying 'nothin?' in reference to that commercial on a regular basis for the last 40 years
Wait yall aren’t seeing jimmys face in the back at the end 😂😭
my boy Jimmy needs counseling after the major discrace he just witnessed.
Love this ad. Was just trying to explain it to a bunch of people, but nobody remembered it. You gotta love TH-cam.
Dang this was 15 years ago
“Hey shimmy give me a pizza with nothin” shimmy-“ Nuh-thon??”
Ngl When I heard that audio I literally thought this was from some 80s movie scene But now this commercials gonna be stuck in my head rent free 💀
This is my first time watching this commercial and it’s already one of the most iconic I’ve ever seen
NUTTINNNN?!?!?!?
My favorite line. Lol
I love how this 15 year old ad became a meme
Those posters behind Fred lol:
Be patient, meatball.
Week old pizza, half price
the acting in the first few seconds is just incredible, i heard the audio and thought it was a comedy skit
Crazy how string cheese became so popular
I love how this audio is a meme now for animations😂 it makes much more sense seeing the original!
when i heard "gimme a cheese wit nutn" i shat myself laughing😂
Honestly kind of a weird way to sell string cheese if it’s a pizza with nothin
I can't unhear the yt shorts audio
same
Has anyone else noticed "Dzschimmy" has become a propped-up corpse at 0:19?
Hahaha
OMG that’s horrific!!
“Nothing?”
Had me laughing so hard
The fact that they pronounce it as "polio"
"No Screaming", "Be Patient, Meatball", and "Week-Old Pizza Half Price"
my old man used to love this commercial. "nuttin?"
I love how the tomato sauce still had him intrigued
We need to go back to commercials like this.
Grilled cheese with just cheese
"Hey shimmy give me a cheese with nothing"
"Nothing?"
The sheer disbelief when he repeated 'hold the tomato sauce??!?' Is pure gold
the commercial you never forget
Still remember this commercial! It got me into string cheese as a kid. :D
Same
I love the signs in the background that only appear for a few seconds - Be Patient Meatball ! and Week Old Pizza, Half Price.
😂🤣😂🥰 It’s the old Polly-O string cheese commercial. It took me a minute but I knew it sounded CRAZY familiar.
Fred looks like he's going to kill the little kid who said "hold the tomato sauce"
“Hold the tomato sauce” the way he said that and the look on his face reminded me of that scene in Malcom in the Middle when he asks for skateboarding lessons, and Brian Cranston looks over very seriously with the background suddenly fading to black, and in a serious tone says something like “there’s no going back after this”
"The best part of the pizza without the pizza"
The best part of the pizza IS THE PIZZA YOU PSYCHOS
I like how Jimmy is still looking at him confused XD
I love jimmy’s face when he says NUTHIN?!
The inflection on literally every word in this commercial is amazing
“Hey Djimmy, gimme a pizza with nahthin.” “Nahthin?”
"gimme a cheez wit notin" 😭😭😭
Nuthin?!
I remember this commercial. Brings me back to a happy time in life. Thanks for the video.
15 years later, this video is now a meme
I would have never guessed this was a commercial for string cheese if I hadn’t seen the full vid lmao
This is where the meme of the month comes from?
Memes truly are completely unpredictable
“Hey shimmy! Give me a cheese with nothin’!”
Such a classic commercial. I wish they'd come back with some throwback string cheese with the original wrapper. Does ANYONE remember the Pepperoni flavored string cheese? I can't find proof it existed.
Never heard of it
I feel like that order wouldn't be describing string cheese, but instead a giant disk of cooked cheese.
my european mind still can not comprehend the existence of string cheese
🤣🤣omgoodness..this commercial brings back some memories..I used to say it all the time..I still find myself saying those French sayings!! Love me some nostalgia!! Njoy life everyone
It’s the little side look he gives before yelling at Shimmy that gets me
Lol!! The counter guy played the owner of a laundromat on Seinfeld!! 😂

A Dr. Strange 2 spoiler without context.
“Ey Jimmy! Gimmie a cheese with nothin’!”
“Nothing?”
The cop from ace Ventura 😂😂 and that dudes definitely not breathing at 21 seconds lol

*His name is Fred, and he works at a pizzeria. A common nickname for Fred is Freddy. THE FNAF FANS WERE TAKING OVER BEFORE WE EVEN REALISED IT.*
Give me that sign says no screaming then I will put that in my room
This commercial seen it on the the 90’s .. really on my head everytime I remember it 🤣
the internet is such a beatiful place
Nobody talking about jimmy still be looking traumatized at 0:20
*genius* marketing. Polly-O managed to make a boring hunk of cheese exciting to kids by positioning it as "the best part of the pizza".
100%. I still eat it 30+ years later...peeled into strings.
Boring? I loved mozzarella when I was a kid. I always wished I could just bite into the block that my mother would buy for macaroni.
Child of the 70’s and this popped into my head now?! 🤣🤷♂️

Honestly if you're ever having a bad day, just lower the playback speed of this video and sit back
"Hey Jimmy, give me a cheese with nothin" "Nothin?"
Fred’s response to holding the tomato sauce is like he had a breakthrough in the murder case he’s investigating
Who would have thought this would become a meme. XD
If you set it at .75 seconds then it feels like whenever it would come on during tv
Legend has it that Jimmy is still confused
Jimmy was flabbergasted fr
Nugh-inn? Is my face part sounds like a mafia man talking
My grandfather actually had connections with the owners of Polly o string cheese aka the brsnd who made the add that this sound comes from
Hey jimmy, give me a cheese with nothin
Nuthing?
"BE PATIENT, MEATBALL!"
Anyone notice the sign: WEEK OLD PIZZA, HALF PRICE
Had heard this audio on a few insta reels and had assumed it was from like an educational video game from the nineties
Same energy as "gimmy a cheese with nothin"
I love it, I think I was about that kid's age when this commercial came out
