Does this seem funny or am I just weird? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just saw a commercial for a local restaurant that always strikes me as funny. It is for a place called Frankie V's and the commercial say how it's the home of the beer tower and then they show this huge drink. Then in the next scene they say how the restaurant is famliy friendly. This just seems funny to me. Like there is a guy saying "Hey a place where I can get an insanely large drink, now that fun for the whole family"

That's rather strange.

Two questions:

How large is the "insanely large" beer tower? and What is the address?

It does seem odd.

Weird, but funny too!

That reminds me....Cheers fans will like this following local commercial.

There is this city about two and a half hours away from me. I am in a small town, so we pick up stations that are two and a half hours away. OK, there was this local commercial I saw the other day for the exact same type of restaurant you described, sara. It was one of those family-type restaurants that also had a bar in it and they started talking about "Cheers" and how the bar there was exactly like the bar on "Cheers" and then words appeared at the top that said "The "Cheers" of Moorhead!" (In Minnesota)

We're nowhere near the real Cheers bar.
