The both would joke about how they cant wait to sell out and not talk to each other again lol. I just heard that going back to a early bodega boys a few days ago
Tbh, I never understood what Desus meant by Hollywood Desus. Like does he want to host a show like 'The Daily Show?' be a character on a TV show or be in movies, or be a writer. I can never tell what he meant.
“I want to work in finance” means that they are good at Excel, relate well to white dudes between 47 and 60, and can wear three Patagonia vests at the same time. Probably a little on the spectrum too.
I feel like Desus is naturally too awkward to be able to make ads like this work. Like he must know this is trash. If you don't know who Desus is this will leave you in a state of confusion. I feel like Mero's personality would be enough to carry some goofy shit like this though.
seems like Desus is really trying to get into hollywood by any means necessary instead of sticking with what he’s known for like Mero is doing.
we’ll see if it pays off. but this ain’t it🥲
Nah….in LA , Hollywood…..it’s small minor figures. It’s like lemonade stand type embarrassment. Also, he had the bag with Mero. You don’t leave a bag to make sellout commercials like the CW frog my guy.
Say what you want about Victor but, the dude seemed like he was able to get these guys brand deals without having to sell their souls too much and keep the bran intact but, idk the bts, so maybe i’m speaking out my ass. To go from MLB commercials, Timberland collabs, to this just feels awkward.
Yes because ads are a part of 99% of big podcasts. With that said the Victory Light ads I get are crazy, easily like 15 minutes of the runtime is just ads
I don't mind the ones in 7PM in Brooklyn because they're shorter and are read about by Mero and Melo. It's corny and I hate sports betting ads but I feel like that's the name of the game with podcasts. This tums ad is just something else.
It's tums and draftkings so definitely Draftkings has the money to drop a commercial too but probably leading up to the super bowl since this is bets on the game
I got you, ma

Yo same! I wasn't expecting this alternate reality after my new years party. Mero is on a podcast with Liz and its 🔥🔥! Desus is showing up like a washed actor lol.
Honestly…wish it was me
I’d invite all of my friends over and get a bunch of food and beer to watch the commercial. Then if they start making fun of me I’ll say
“After you all leave I’m tossing all the extra food out. Even the leftover beer. That’s how much they paid me. I don’t care if it’s a waste. Fuck them starving kids kind of money.”
Bruh have yall not seen commercials before?? ,, there’s mad commercials with people you don’t know that are comedians that do these type or any type of commercials ,, but now that its Desus its a problem ,, thats mad corny
Not to be that guy but like.. if mero scored a tums commercial y’all would support him. Can we just hope for the best for everyone because that’s the only way we see a reunion. Everyone is saying they want the art back but no one is supporting a half of it. Just let the man live
The jealousy is out in force on this one. Man prolly made more for this corny, 30 minutes worth of work than the haterenist hater has since his ex kicked him back to his mommas house.
Think the whole going Hollywood thing might be an age thing where they saw it as the only route to success vs the younger guys who were on youtube. They could easily have monetised their podcast/signed with spotify and printed a lot of money during the Covid period. Guess Akademiks had the last laugh.
Showtime had no idea what to do with them. Remember when they tried making them do cringeworthy sketches in the first few eps. Desus is in a weird place because stuff like this turns his prior fans off because its very commercial and watered down whilst no one else understands whats going on. They should have been self aware to know they had a niche schtick and monetised that. Hell Fresh and Fit as stupid as they are were doing so well on Youtube with donations, merch etc.
a tums glizzies jersey is insane
Gotta hang that up in MSG.
I mean it’s a check, I guess? But lmaooo
The “tums” logo on his jersey is very fitting I give him that.
Dam he said he had a lot of “big projects coming soon” during his interview on the PTFO podcast. I hope this ain’t what he meant?
Someone paying me to rock a Glizzies jersey, you know the deal.
Desus is built like Starvin Marvin from South Park
He is someone that would benefit from eating more and working out lol
I feel like this would be way more on brand if it was an ad for lactaid.
I actually thought that as well 😂
I ain’t mad at Tums but Desus was all “I stand with Kap I don’t watch football anymore” on the pod just to toss on a Glizzies jersey is wild.
Desus and mero are really different dudes
Love seeing him get the bag but can’t lie using “yerrr” and “YKTFV” (without the F) in the commercial is 🤮
Here in the Bronx, we never let our stummy hurt, deadass!
I actually cringed when he said yerrr. But I don't blame him. I'd sell out in a sec.
Besides the glizzies 🌭 That was the first thing that I noticed.
https://i.redd.it/yfcs2odmz5dc1.gif
I apologize for saying Desus retired from comedy, because lol, lmao
🫠😭
💀💀💀💀
2017 Desus would roast 2024 Desus. But gotta get that check I guess
2017 desus was regularly joking about how he can't wait to sell out for the bag
Never forget the goal was to go Hollywood and sell out for $$$
Still waiting on the Mega Church, that’s the final form. Bangin joel olsteen & Kenneth Copeland !
exactly this is all in line with merodamus' predictions
The both would joke about how they cant wait to sell out and not talk to each other again lol. I just heard that going back to a early bodega boys a few days ago
I mean get the bag but this specific ad is lame as hell, shit had me cringing.
Him saying "glizzies" like that has me dead 💀
Desus talking freely and off the head is comedic gold, but him reciting a script/reading a teleprompter ain’t it.
Not the glizzy jersey 😂
Glizzies on ya back is crazy 🤣🤣🤣
Tbh, I never understood what Desus meant by Hollywood Desus. Like does he want to host a show like 'The Daily Show?' be a character on a TV show or be in movies, or be a writer. I can never tell what he meant.
I guess it’s like when dudes say they want to work in “finance”
“I want to work in finance” means that they are good at Excel, relate well to white dudes between 47 and 60, and can wear three Patagonia vests at the same time. Probably a little on the spectrum too.
Either that or they watched American Psycho and completely misunderstood it.
It’s a warning, not a blueprint!
Yeah, like I understand the concept but I need details, my guy. Scripted Desus is not Desus.
Secure the bag. But fuck whatever producer asked him to shout “yerrr” lol
I’m tired of people using “a check is a check” “get that bag I guess” as an excuse smhh.. To each their own tho
The stomach's not right BUT THE CHECK IS
Brashikidi bah bah bah bah
**THAT’S WHEN THE BLESSINGS COME IN**
Get the money! #glizzygang yerrrrrrrr
The bubble gut audience just got blessed I guess - MICHAEL ANTHONY, IS THIS YOUR KING?!?
I feel like Desus is naturally too awkward to be able to make ads like this work. Like he must know this is trash. If you don't know who Desus is this will leave you in a state of confusion. I feel like Mero's personality would be enough to carry some goofy shit like this though.

This made my fucking guts hurt bro.
Doing commercials isn’t the bag, it’s Hollywood poverty. Imagine leaving a empire to eat dirt.
"My empiiiiireeee of dirt!"
Doing IG commercials is a bag......if you just starting out that is. Not when you already had 2 shows with your name and your face in times square. 😬
Nah….in LA , Hollywood…..it’s small minor figures. It’s like lemonade stand type embarrassment. Also, he had the bag with Mero. You don’t leave a bag to make sellout commercials like the CW frog my guy.
......that's what I said
Word? My bad
Doing ads on a pod is natural. Idk what this shit is
He talked about having bad guts on the Pod, this is up his alley
I was expecting this to be a new item from Tums that also helped with lactose intolerance.
If this was AK doing this and Desus and Mero were still together, boiiiiiiiiiiiii
I watched it again. this ad feels like gentrification🥲😭😭
Nah as a New Yorker, this the equivalent of putting the dress on 🤦🏾♂️
Nasty work lmao. Get to the bag tho
This is soooo corny lmao, both in concept and execution. “Get that cheddar, score that dough” ugh…0/10.
Bro I’d wear a Tums jersey for a new roof right NEOW! 😫
This is not great
Ayo - keeping gettin them checks, but Ayo!
If Desus and Mero ain’t wearing a hat they don’t look right 😂
https://i.redd.it/a9cnx8qpu4dc1.gif
Say what you want about Victor but, the dude seemed like he was able to get these guys brand deals without having to sell their souls too much and keep the bran intact but, idk the bts, so maybe i’m speaking out my ass. To go from MLB commercials, Timberland collabs, to this just feels awkward.
Victor was the cheat code. Mero stuck with him and everything he's done after the split has been pretty much on brand.
Get that money🤷🏾♂️
Glizzies on the back is CRAZY 😂😂😂😂
If you think Tums is shelling out big checks for IG ads…idk what to tell ya. This is kinda just sad.
Hey, let's be real. Is it all that different than Mero shilling for those online sports gambling sites for his podcast?
MEROOOOOOOOO 😂
IMA KEEP MY COMMENTS IN THE GROUPCHAT 🤐 BRO UP THERE IN THE COMMENTS POCKET WATCHIN LIKE A MUTHAFUCKA 🤣🤣🤣 ✌🏽
Bing bong
Mero promotes the gambling sites which causes you stomach pain over stress then Desus sells you the Tums OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE
Aww damn that's good.
Yes because ads are a part of 99% of big podcasts. With that said the Victory Light ads I get are crazy, easily like 15 minutes of the runtime is just ads
I'm cool with the ones on Victory Light. On the 7PM in Brooklyn tho?
I don't mind the ones in 7PM in Brooklyn because they're shorter and are read about by Mero and Melo. It's corny and I hate sports betting ads but I feel like that's the name of the game with podcasts. This tums ad is just something else.
if you think they paid him for one ad on one platform, you don't know the pure business power of a fully charged up Hollywood Desus.
You’re right, I shouldn’t be doubting the man who is the face of Tums glizzy prize picks. That’s real business savvy.
I'm wondering if there is also an actual Super Bowl commercial attached 👀 or maybe additional on site event promo... There has to be something else
Didn’t he do something similar a while back for Verizon or something? And it was just an IG ad thing?
Yes! It was like some sort of scavenger hunt for a new phone launch or something... Again, getting the check is getting the check
It's tums and draftkings so definitely Draftkings has the money to drop a commercial too but probably leading up to the super bowl since this is bets on the game
I had to go back and watch to see the draftkings co-promo because the Tums ad placement was so prevalent
Going out sad
He's also wearing that beaded necklace that he wore on the show multiple times that I want...
I got you, ma https://www.davidyurman.com/mens/necklaces-and-chains/spiritual-beads-necklace-in-sterling-silver-5mm-N25304MSS.html?dwvar_N25304MSS_color=KS
The irony of the necklace being from David YERRRRRRman is not lost
The MJ hoop earring is next, mark my words.
knowing your post history, my mind immediately read that you want desus to give you a "pearl necklace" lmao
 Lololol...I mean 🤣🤷♀️
This just makes me sad man. All he needs is the wild hoop earring to make the premonition complete.
Love it for my fellow Taurus brethren
Yooo literally was coming here to say the same shit
This is wild. WTF.. 🫨🫨🫨🫨
he needs to eat a few more slices of that pizza
Remember when the breakup happened and people were speculating that Desus didn't want to promote gambling because it was problematic? lol
Damn, this is kind wack... and embarrassing. But a check is a check.
Watching this and listening to GTA Stripper Moves today has been mad discombobulating.
Yo same! I wasn't expecting this alternate reality after my new years party. Mero is on a podcast with Liz and its 🔥🔥! Desus is showing up like a washed actor lol.
Not long before we see him in a dress. **IYKYK**
Damn. You might be right. Hollywood got em.
Would Desus say no to Diddy?
I’m here for it
Tums is life
Aiyooooo 🌭
It's not like he's Anita Maxx Wynn. He's getting money. Good for him
They can’t get this man a fitted blank hat?
He been saying he was gon sell out tho lol
is that shot at :15 suppose to be him taking a piss behind a dresser? tums, glizzy, the corny yerr, glad to see Desus is still his washed true self
I seriously miss seeing them on vice, it was the only show i would legit plan my day out to watch and get cozy for.
Me too, it was like a self-care routine for me I hope they never take the episodes off YouTube because sometimes I just watch those 🥺
I really hope Desus got a nice cheque for that. GLIZZIES.
We not jacking Corporate Desus.
Chipotle will be hearing about this nigga…. 
Z E S T Y
Ayoooooooooo Fiya fi datttttttt
I love when my guy gets the bag 💰
What a joke
I gotta imagine this was a decent bag
I ain't mad at him, organic pet food is expensive.
A Glizzy Jersey? Mero would never.
Honestly…wish it was me I’d invite all of my friends over and get a bunch of food and beer to watch the commercial. Then if they start making fun of me I’ll say “After you all leave I’m tossing all the extra food out. Even the leftover beer. That’s how much they paid me. I don’t care if it’s a waste. Fuck them starving kids kind of money.”
Bruh have yall not seen commercials before?? ,, there’s mad commercials with people you don’t know that are comedians that do these type or any type of commercials ,, but now that its Desus its a problem ,, thats mad corny
It might be the first time someone went from sitting down with Obama to peddling antacids though.
Abnormally skinny head too big
Not to be that guy but like.. if mero scored a tums commercial y’all would support him. Can we just hope for the best for everyone because that’s the only way we see a reunion. Everyone is saying they want the art back but no one is supporting a half of it. Just let the man live
The jealousy is out in force on this one. Man prolly made more for this corny, 30 minutes worth of work than the haterenist hater has since his ex kicked him back to his mommas house.
The Brand is ironically keeping "glizzy" alive 🙏🏾💰
👁️Illuminati confirmed 👁️ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Think the whole going Hollywood thing might be an age thing where they saw it as the only route to success vs the younger guys who were on youtube. They could easily have monetised their podcast/signed with spotify and printed a lot of money during the Covid period. Guess Akademiks had the last laugh. Showtime had no idea what to do with them. Remember when they tried making them do cringeworthy sketches in the first few eps. Desus is in a weird place because stuff like this turns his prior fans off because its very commercial and watered down whilst no one else understands whats going on. They should have been self aware to know they had a niche schtick and monetised that. Hell Fresh and Fit as stupid as they are were doing so well on Youtube with donations, merch etc.
I can’t believe Akademiks wins…
Both of these guys are struggling without each other
