[tait]

I thought it was pretty damn cool and innovative. I wish I knew the original musical they used though. Anyways...

Theres a thread in the Comedy Forum with this.

 

[PublicSecrecy]

wow that guy's a loser. And I never thought that that design would actually fly...I mean, it's hardly different at ALL from the original concept pics...still sweet tho. Guy's still a loser tho, too.

 

[CDailey]

That is awesome!

I posted this in the Comedy Corner so maybe this thread will get merged with it.


edit: Why is that guy a loser? He's just an actor that can pop n lock. Why does that make him a loser?

 

[PublicSecrecy]

He just is. I don't know why, he just is. Like, if I saw someone really doing that in the middle of the street in the middle of the night in a tux, I'd definately A) throw something at him or B) fall over laughing.

WTF? I don't think that makes for a very good commerical...err wait yes it does, it kept my attetion the entire time wondering what the hell it was for.

You think they just went out in the middle of the street and starting filming that? No. Besides, that sure does look like a set to me.

It's made to be an updated version of an old popular musical. They kept the original actors face and replaced it with a guy dancing on through a replica set. Updated and marketed to teenagers through breakdancing and the music. Get it? Old boring musical - reinvented for "us" Old and boring golf - reinvented for "us"? Good marketing scheme i'd say.

Do you think I'm retarded or something? Jesus christ, I know it's a set. I know its a commercial. I didn't know what the commercial was for...and I didn't know why he was doing a 20 year old dance in 50 year old clothes and stopping in front of a brand new car. I just kept wondering "how long is this guy gonna go on for? "

Easy, easy, never meant to imply that you thought it was real. Just commenting/commentarying on the direction they took marketing wise.

I know, I was responding to ITR. And sorry, but I'm too young to drink. Legally.

And I shouldn't indulge in participate in illegal activities. If I didn't, I would have noticed who it was directed at.

Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain.

Thank you Talentless! What would we do without our Retro Moderators?

 

[Talentless]

Retro? Ha. Really. Well, sometimes being a channel surfing junkie helps.

 

[PublicSecrecy]

Well check out your' AV, it looks like Billy Idol or something!

 

[Talentless]

It is Billy Idol. Did you not notice the ever witty play on the Rebel Yell song title?

 

[PublicSecrecy]

hahaha yah!

That's an English commercial? Wow i've never seen that one before, bah I liked the comercial they made for the 5th gen Golfs better. Showing them designing every version of the golf.

Now that... was funny. 👍

That guy dances like me (well like me if i had years of practise, rhythm and some coordination)

The second vid is funny too, the guy in the Polo kind of looked like Ringo Starr.
