Achtung! Remember when Ringo Starr was in a Pizza Hut commercial and he ate his pizza crust first?

I see the stuffed crust pizza is back at Pizza Hut now, but Ringo Starr is nowhere to be seen in the commercials. Is it possible that the dumpster and his ragged old ass have become one and the same in the eyes of Pizza Hut? I think so, yes!
 
He warned them with peace and love, but he has too much to eat. Anything delivered after that date will be tossed. No more pizza, thank you thank you. And no more wings or garlic knots. NOTHING.

Anyway, peace and love.
 
They tired of being sued for millions by parents of disturbed teens who learned to violate pizza by eating it crust first.
 
I don't remember Ringo in a Pizza Hut commercial. I remember the pie being nothing special. The cold cheese in the crust failed to melt.

I remember the Scorpions giving Ringo a couple of shout outs in a kick ass song. The first one coming at 1 minute fifteen seconds in.

Uli!

Rumor has it that Ringo wasn't even the best drummer in The Monkees :embarrassed:

The Wrecking Crew played on the Monkees albums. And since Ringo isn't a jazz drummer, this is a technically correct statement. Technically correct like saying Pizza Hut is pizza. Ringo is/was a fantastic drummer who gets the short end of the stick because they made him sing "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" even though he hated it.
 
He was always the coolest of the Monkees. I mean, I know a lot of people like Peter as a dim scamp, or Davey as a sexy frontman, or the quiet introspection of Mike Nesmith...but for my money, Ringo was the best character. He eats pizza that way because he is British and that is how they do it over there. It has to do with them being in another hemisphere.

I never knew that was why those songs sound so damn good.

Another fun fact. Charles Mansion auditioned and everybody thought he was a shoe in for the part, but didn’t get it because they didn’t want musicians that could actually play. Supposedly this was a big contributing factor to why he went all wacky.

If any Monkee deserved a Pizza Hut gig, it was Davy Jones. He used to perform in a square, deep dish looking pizza pie shirt. He didn't wear his love for pizza on his sleeve. He wore it on his heart.

I have never seen Ringo Starr in this movie, but it looks like late-sixties satiric, counter-cultural nonsense.
