“PROTECT YOUR CHICKEN FROM DOKKEN”

 Wednesday, September 9th, 2009 at 12:30pm by

I’m not sure how Dokken ended up in this Norton Internet Security commercial; I mean, how fucking random can you get? Is there some inside joke that I’m not getting here – like does Don Dokken have some infamous chicken story akin to Led Zep’s shark incident? Or do the manatees that write Family Guy also do ad copy now?

Regardless of whatever the actual story behind this spot is, it tickles me so.

Boy oh boy do I bet that George Lynch wishes he was still in the band now!!!

If you’d like to see two other versions of this same commercial, head over to Blabbermouth.

    I hoped that they’d unleash their 80′s-fury with baseballbats…. that would’ve been awsome!!
    (no, I don’t know this band anyhow…)

      It’s 80s fury. Pelvic thrusting is beyond appropriate.

    Hahaha… that commercial was retardedly awesome.

    /Pro-tip… no one who takes internet security even remotely seriously uses Norton. It’s a huge joke.

    • Captain Wookie

      At least someone mentioned Norton’s laughable security

  • Sammy

    Would Don Dokken ruin your internet security the way he ruined every good riff George Lynch every wrote by starting to sing?

  • The Mudshark

    Uh, that was a mudshark. Not a “shark”. Geesh!

    You need a post about technology and has been 80s metal bands. Remember Grim Reaper and Garmin?

    Maybe all these tech guys were metalheads in the 80s when they were learning to program on Basic?

    what the fuck?

  • vegan

    that was funny, but too bad for that chicken

  • Harahune

    It’s just kind of a neat thing for most of it, then it gets to the end with the fucking pelvic thrust induced explosion that makes the commercial the best fucking thing ever.

  • You Don’t Know Me

    After reading the bit about the manatees that write Family Guy writing ad copy, the first thing that popped into my head was Peter Griffin saying, “This is like that time that Dokken showed up in that anti-virus commercial.” and I immediately started laughing.

  • the future of music is not on the internet

    Because too many metal fans quit buying music back in the ’90s (because they have no open minds and only wanted to hear their most favorite tracks over and over again and go see those bands play tracks over and over again), many of their favorite bands had to resort to other ways to make a living. This is just one product of that. Many bands may be working again, but it will never, ever be the ’80s again. Even Ozzy makes commercials now.
