Mark Hoppus helped Ozzy out

Mark Hoppus has taken credit for helping to create the catchphrase that landed Ozzy Osbourne his Superbowl commercial for ‘Best Buy.’

Hoppus, who presents a late night talk show, ‘Hoppus on Music,’ asked Ozzy a question about Justin Bieber and Osbourne replied, “Who the f**k is Justin Bieber?”

“It was totally unscripted, totally from the heart. He had no idea who Justin Bieber was,” Hoppus tells PopEater.com.  And then the catchphrase popped up in the commercial that went on to become a viral hit worldwide.

 “We’re really, really proud of that,” says the Blink 182 singer. “I was watching the Superbowl and I’m like, “Hey, that’s from our show!”

‘Hoppus On Music’ airs Friday nights on US network, Fuse.
