Not technically a double, but previously discussed here, highlighting its similarity in design to metafilter.

We talked a little about this here, not long ago.

There's one thing I don't understand. The thing I don't understand is every motherfuckin' word you're saying.

Most will be genuinely pleased as this is the first time a financial services provider will have recognised the cockney language in such a manner.

Goddamnit I hate the British.

This will never surpass Canada Trust's Johnny Cash Machine, ca. 1985. The displayed messages on the screen were all ridiculously folksy, saying things like, "And just how can I help you out today?", and "Please wait a spell while I get your cash." (I don't think it ever said, "Hello. I'm Johnny Cash", but that would have absolutely ruled.)

I am NOT making this up. And I am one of many Canadians who deeply regrets never stealing the actual cardboard cutout of Johnny propped up next to the machine.

Is it me, or did they appropriate MeFi's look and feel?

Yeah, yeah, they just flipped it around and put the logo on the right! Sue the bastards! Sue them with fire!

Wow. Folksy isn't really how I generally think of the Man in Black.

Same here. It was just incredibly tone-deaf, hokey and completely out of character. Basically, as embarrassing as the rest of the commercial. I guess he really did need the money.

Still not technically a double -- but the post that inspired the previous discussion that this post is now (not technically) duplicating is now being duplicated in the comments... this is making my brain hurt

Oh those Johnny Cash machines were so cool - I got free tickets to see him perform from Canada Trust when they launched those machines. What a novel idea - a machine to save you waiting in line for your money!.

Itchin' for a posey.

I think the Johnny Cash machine sounds awesome. "Looks like you got insufficient funds to make that withdrawal. Why not head on down to Reno?"
