New "Hella Proud" commercial is pretty good.

[John Galt]

Yeah the marketing team along with the whole organization seems to be really hitting a stride. Great bounce-back for Vivek & co.

 

[PurpleHaze]

At least the right "V" shows up prominently in commercial and not the other one

 

[ockingsfan]

Nice Commercial.

Serious Question.

I haven't lived in Sacramento in almost 20 years, do people in Sactown still say "Hella"?

Darn tootin' they do!

Most definitely.

I didn't realize that was Doug Christie narrating. He and Bobby have great chemistry on the post game show. All around, this will be an entertaining year! What a commercial! Bring your best, Clips. We'll be ready

I don't know why that keeps popping up. Haven't heard it much at all in what, decades? Apparently someone thinks it's still common. Not sure who though....

Was that Doug"? For some reason I thought it was one of the guys that does either the HBO or Showtime (boxing) or UFC voice-overs for the countdown shows. Nice commercial but nicely done.

Hella people still say it.

 

[upinsmoke]

916 Hella proud!

 

[ockingsfan]

Hella people still say it.

That's Hella Funny!

I still have a friend from Sactown that still says "Hella", like every other word. Wasn't aware everyone else still says it.

"Hella" was really popular when I was in high school in Sactown in the early 1990's!

 

[upinsmoke]

"Hella" never went away and probably never will. It's still heavily used.

Oh, dude...I hella say that all the time.

Did not know it was Doug until I read your post. Then it was like, yeah that was Doug

Love the video!

I still say it all the time. People I am around always say it too..

 

[Dime Dropper]

Pretty cringey in my humble, poopy stinkin' opinion. Trying too hard. No harm no foul though, not a biggie.

You obviously don't have hella in person conversations with me, or you would hear it all the time. It's a bad habit.

 

[Kingsgurl]

Oh, dude...I hella say that all the time.

Hella and Dude, yep. Conversations between the two of us are hella fun, dude, lol

I like it even better now that I realize it is Doug (though after listening again, I was like DUDE! I hella should have caught that, damn)

 

[The Hammer]

Nice Commercial.

Absolutely. It's a regional colloquialism that signals a hometown pride, that kind that is unique to the Sac region. It's actually THE perfect slogan for the Kings. They were definitely doing the happy dance when they came up with this one.

Interesting side note: when I was in 5th-6th grade (mid 80s), my friends and I literally thought we made that word up. I still think we may have.

 

[Livinthedream]

Fixed it for ya.

 

[Blastoff]

"Hella" is to NorCal as "wicked" is to New England -- and neither is going away.

Get him!

 

[jcassio]

For what it's worth, I haven't heard that word in years and I live here.
Maybe it's a class of people thing more so than a regional thing? (and I don't mean that as an insult)
Regardless, I like the ad. Go Doug!

What the hella's that sposed to mean?

 

[Spike]

Means we're either hella poor, or hella dumb. Either way, I'll get my pitchfork!

 

[nickmcclure]

This thread is hella dope

Oh snap. I think I am hella offended. I have hella pitchforks if someone needs an extra one.

Raised a son in Sac. He doesn't use it as much at 37 as he did at, say, 17, but it still crops up. Hella 'nnoying.
