Television > Dell Commericals > College and Dates
Steve goes on a date, helps someone at work, graduates and goes to college. Also a cameo.
Commercial #10: First aired February 10, 2002
Steven in a yellow shirt and green jacket. He is in a blue car with a girl (his date). A neighbor comes by and Steve tells him about Dell. The neighbor then asks if the car if Steve's father's. Steve says "No..." Then the girl askes Steve, "Aren't you going to say it?" Steve says, "Oh, he knows." We then see a bumper sticker that says "Dude, you're getting a dell!" Steve is seen standing up next to the Dell computer ala the fifth commercial.
Commercial #11: May 2002
Steve graduates. On his cap, it says "Dude, you're getting a dell." He says "Carpe Dimension." A teacher says, "Steven, keep the line moving." His partners in crime are Esteban (a DJ) and Mr. Foley. Also, a cool electronic-rendition of "Pomp and Cricumstance".
Commerical #12: First aired June 07, 2002
Steve is a Information Booth guy at the Mall. "I see this all the time," Steve tells the wife. He convinces a lost father to come back to his family by telling him about Dell's great deals, of course. "All in a day's work, folks," he says before he almost falls off his chair from leaning on it and catches his fall. After the repeat sequence from commercial 10 of him in a Yellow long-sleve shirt and jeans, he says, "Dude, you're getting a... dell." He is stopped when he sees his manager. He seems to be in big trouble.
Commerical #13: First aired July 04, 2002
Steve is in college and in this commercial, he ponders ways to get more money. He is outside on campus. He announces the Dell Win 50K-a-day giveaway. You can win 50 grand. This contest goes throughout July. He tells a student (who is pleading to his parents on the phone for money) that he has to get a Dell.
Commerical #14: Aired during July 2002
Sir Who Talks Alot outsmarts his college teacher by making a formula of what the Dell people do. He wears a red shirt and blue jeans. He has a teaching stick during the blue background sequence. Afterwards, the teacher makes him write on the board. He chooses to write "Dude you're getting a dell" over and over again.
Unique fact: The college football player who wakes up from his nap is wearing a sweatshirt that says Round Rock. Not only is that the town that the Dell Company has its #1 building site but it is home of fans Daniel & Rebecca Usener. It is a town right outside of Austin, Texas. Thanks to them for the tidbit!
Commerical #15: First aired August 01, 2002
Steven has a dorky roommate named Skip and they are trying to figure out where to go for the summer. "Some place warm?" Skip surfs on his bed. "Some place snow?" Fake snow is poured on Skip and Steve in outer wear. "Something he can afford?" Skip drops his coins out of a huge drinking water container. Steve rolls his eyes at Skip's antics. Skip is on the phone with his mom and she bought him a deal and through a contest, they were able to go to Paris. "We are going to Paris!... with my mom," Skip says. "Dude, she did buy him a Dell," Steve explains. In France, we see Skip's mom fix up his face while Steve tries to talk to some girls with his English-to-French Dictonary. "Bonjour!"
Commercial #16: First aired August 30, 2002
Transportation in college. "Should one skate?" Doesn't quite work out. "Bike?" He bumps onto a bike rack and all the bikes fall down. "Bus?" It's too crowded. "Car?" Steve shows a BMW and asks two girls if they want to ride. They aren't impressed. He announces Dell's BMW Give-a-way. The car happens to belong to the professor from Commercial #14. Steve of course is in trouble. He shakes it off as he drives away on his moped with a helmet and says about the professor."Dude must have gotten a Dell!"
Cameo: First aired October 15, 2002
After the Steve commercials, Dell did a slew of commercials with three Dell interns. They visit the packaging center. At the end of the commercial we get a pleasant surprise, we see a computer is being delivered to Steve's house! The delivery man has Steve sign a form. He is with, what seems to be, a little brother. "Dude! We're getting another dell!" The boy says "Sweet!"
Interesting Info: We find out Steve's last name is Jackson. On the delivery box it could be read "S. Jackson." It is simple to assume that.
