Remember Terry Tate: Office Linebacker?

The Reebok pitchman debuted during a at Super Bowl XXXVII commercial in 2003, demolishing office workers who didn’t fill out their forms correctly or adhere to company policy. All the while, Terry would spout catchphrases to intimidate (“The pain train’s comin'”) and motivate (“Don’t bring that weak-ass stuff up in this humpy-bumpy”) his fellow employees.

Over time the ad campaign lost it’s appeal and faded into the world of “hey, remember that?” history.

Tate, portrayed by former college football player and professional wrestler Lester Speight, has returned in insert himself into the 2016 Presidential election. In fact, he’s literally inserted himself into the infamous leaked footage of Donald Trump and Billy Bush getting off the Access Hollywood bus to be a couple of creeps. That is, until Terry intervenes.

“What kinda locker rooms you been hanging out in, Donny?” Finally, someone asks the questions we need to be asked.

Tate also takes a moment to say hi to Billy Bush before firing the former Access Hollywood host. We’ll just have to assume Tate has managerial authority at this point.

Ultimately, Terry just wants people to go out and vote. And given everything we know about Tate and what he does to people who don’t do what he says, you should probably go and perform your civic duty like he told you to.
