It was so bizarre that I had to post it on Mashable. It's already on top of Reddit as well. I'd say they're getting the bang for their buck with this one already. It also comes with a slew of easter eggs, starting with the basketball at 0:42.
There I watched it so none of you have too :)
Do the people who made this think that everyone wants to find pizza all the time? It seems far more likely is that you're in Newport RI and you want to find the best Lobster Roll or you're in Memphis and want to find the best BBQ nearby. That's how I end up using the location features of something like Yelp.
It's brilliant.

Well, some say that any publicity is good publicity. But if it comes off as foolish, and you don't even get the point of it, and most who share it are only sharing it because they don't get it, then in the end you've just contributed to people wasting time.

You guys are missing the point. Microsoft did something like this a while ago (I think it was microsoft?). The idea is to make a an so horrifyingly bad that it gets covered in "the news" and viewed by millions and millions of people who then spend several minutes reading comments about the commercial and thinking about the product. It's brilliant.
I remembered this clip because it lasts about five second longer than I thought it would. In a quick moving network tv show like the Simpsons, that's an eternity.
Sometimes the humor comes from just going for it, and taking something past where people think it "should" stop. The internet is different from network tv in that 10 minutes of absurdity is much cheaper.
It's definitely a joke.. at about 5 minutes in you can hear one of the production guys laugh uncontrollably. The t-rex poking out behind the city scape at 6:45 is pretty good too.
