Might be getting wooshed but Slurms was voiced by David Herman

I think they are implying that Jimmy was the "original party animal" like Slurms. Either that or it's how they "look similar" in this photo due to the Hawaiian shirt.

Even tho Slurms name is based on Spuds Mackenzie, the dog mascot for Bud Light back in ye olden days of the 80s.

Yeah, I actually remember Spuds and those ads. Such a party animal!

Also, if you look closely you can see a little green sludge coming out of him. And just like on TV, it tastes delicious.

Before anyone mentions, I know it wasn't slurms who made the sludge. Just the first awful thought that came to mind, and I felt like commenting it, so there.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, Slurms was a reference to Spuds.

I honestly can’t watch a commercial like that and believe it happened unironically in real life

I mean, it was definitely a "joke".... It was a simpler time...

You can't believe people would break into song as a rock star dog pulls up in a bullhorn car, right before he plays the drums? Man, you're a hard one to fool!
