greatest commercial ever

[johnsonx42]

I'm sure many have seen this already, but I just saw it this morning and can't get over how awesome it is:

LMAO. superb.

[whurlston]

OMG, thank you for that!! I needed that laugh!

Anyone who is a Star Trek fan (and even those who aren't) should also read the decision by Judge Otis Wright in the Prenda case. A good rundown (and the link to the actual decision) can be found @ http://www.popehat.com/2013/05/06/does-p...-them-one/

+1 thanks a lot. I've watched this five or six times already and it still makes me LOL. I hope they don't do one with William Shatner, he doesn't sing quite as well.

It was OK but here's one I caught a few days ago - I usually skip commercials and the ones I do see rarely do anything to make me laugh but this one really did make me LOL.

Brian this thread is about Spocks, not Specs.

(At the risk of being banned too...) It's not Brian's fault that we Brits make good ads... and on a low budget...

Nice play on words.

Well to be honest I did enjoy the Audi ad and did LOL at how Nimoy gets to enter the restaurant first (I won't say how as I don't want to spoil it for others).

Agreed - I obviously just like my ads short and sweet with a slightly surreal twist.

My favourite ad of all time ever was a really old BT ad with Quasimodo at the top of the Notre Dame tower holding his hands over his ears and complaining about the bells (the phone ringing) ... Complaining about the bells in hindsight may not have been a great selling point if your phone was ringing but of course that was when BT was the only truly communicative option. The ad cannot have lasted for more than 10 seconds. And this was many moons ago... Short and sweet. Of course there was R Whites lemonade not so short but very sweet!

cheers
