What started as a simple running gag eventually took on a life of its own. “Are we having fun yet” became the preferred catchphrase for Party Down everywhere. Adam Scott, bless him, now has to field the question of “are we having fun yet?” at events for the rest of his life. But all throughout the phrase’s ascension as the semi-official Party Down meme, fans have never gotten to see an important element of it: the actual commercial itself.
Through two seasons and 20 episodes of Party Down, the show has never actually revealed the full “Are we having fun yet?” beer commercial. Viewers have only relived the experience second-hand through other characters perception of it. With Party Down now coming back for a third season and the potential for more, could the time finally be right to actually unveil the commercial? According to Adam Scott (who also serves as a producer), the braintrust behind Party Down has certainly given thought to shooting it before.
“I mean that’s always been an option,” Scott says. “That’s always been something we’ve talked about doing but the right context hasn’t revealed itself yet for needing it story-wise.”
Scott’s fellow Party Down producer and season 3 showrunner John Enbom would also like to see the “Are we having fun yet” commercial one day become a reality.
“We absolutely have talked about it,” Enbom says. “There have been a couple of times where we have toyed with the idea and tried to figure out how we would incorporate it into the show. But I don’t think we’ve ever actually gotten to that point.”
According to Enbom, the real reason the commercial hasn’t been filmed thus far comes down to logistics.
