I'm talking about the one that's modeled after those 1-800-collect commercials. Its got Jack and Two guys in a boat looking at a dollar bill floating in the water.

At the end the guy picks up the dollar and says something like "SOW-COW!!!" and the three of them pause, then bust up laughing...

What is sow-cow? what am i missing here? I normally like JIB commercials and its usually simple humour but this one has me kinda stumped

I think they are just being funny. One of the guys is former Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, and the other guy is ice skater Brian Boitano. And he is not saying "so-cal", he's saying sowcow (sp?). A sowcow is a skating move. Not sure why he says it, but it is just a play on the 1-800-collect commercials.

Is that how it's spelled? I was just going phonetically (why is phonetically not spelled phonetically?)

it's like a type of jump or something in figure skating. it's meant to sound really ummm... lame, and that's why they laugh./... har har
