Fake Commercial for the Box Set Starring Zakk Wylde
To promote the expanded box set, Osbourne has posted a hilarious video on his social media pages starring his longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde, and featuring a couple of cameos by Ozzy. The clip takes the form of a cheesy commercial for a fake law firm.
“Attention! If you or a loved one is suffering from L.O.P.O.D., or Lack of Prince of Darkness, you may be entitled to compensation!” says Wylde, who’s dressed in a business suit and tie. “Hi, I’m attorney at large Zakk Wylde, and I’m here to fight for you! Does your record collection feel incomplete? Are you tired of the same old music you’ve heard 1,000 times before? Do you simply need more Ozzy Osbourne in your life? If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, you may qualify for the box set of your dreams.”
The bearded rocker continues, “Introducing See You on the Other Side 2.0, the complete works of Ozzy Osbourne’s original solo material. Now including Ordinary Man and Patient Number 9.”
Osbourne’s then pops up in a circular window in the corner of the screen and declares, “Listen to my music.”
Wylde then says, “And because we here at Wylde Wylde & Associates give a flying f—, we threw in 10 brand-new posters, and a signed certificate from the Prince of Darkness himself. We’re ready to fight for you! All you gotta do is pick up the phone.” The phone number 1-888-OZZYBOX then appears on the screen.
As the video concludes, Wylde says, “Even if you are completely Ozzy-less, you are not at fault. Don’t let L.O.P.O.D. keep you from leading the life you deserve. Call for free legal consultation. Missing out on this opportunity would be the ultimate sin! Honest.”
Osbourne then appears again and yells, “Order now!”
