And as another tidbit about the Rice Krispies jingle....it was written
by Barry Manilow. He wrote a number of jingles way back when.

| A current funny commerical is yet another in the Energizer Bunny vs.
Villians "series". This time, the Bunny takes on Darth Vader. Yeah,
the guy from Star Wars. :)
Apparantly, Darth doesn't use Energizer batteries in his light sabre.
Too bad.... ;)

| 87.3 | The Copper Toppers | CRISTA::MAYNARD | The Front Row Kid | Wed Nov 23 1994 04:45 | 9 |
| Who,(or should I say) what are the Copper-Toppers ? This is the
commercial for Duracel batteries that takes place at a family cookout
where somebody slips the obnoxious aunt the wrong kind of battery and
she goes face-down in her plate while everybody laughs.
They look too realistic to be
claymation like Gumby but not realistic enough to be
computer-animation.

| I believe they are real people under a ton of make up. Pretty well
done (relative to what the commericial is trying to convey), even if
the kid is a brat.

| 87.5 | real people | PCBUOA::LPIERCE | Do the watermelon crawl | Thu Nov 24 1994 00:52 | 9 |

I also think they are real people. But They look like they are
wearing hard to move in costumes and not so much on the make up. I
think the only real skin showing is around there mouth and
maybe there eyes.
It's cool anway you cut it.

For some reason I like the new Cadilac Catera (sp) commercials. I love
the one that says
"Take it for a ride and stop on a mime" :-)
and at the end of the all the ads, they talk about a lease option
"Lease a Catera" --- "Who is Lisa Catera"
I just get me going. :-)

| 87.8 | Dog ones | SSGV02::GRANT | Margo, DTN 381-6192 | Fri Mar 28 1997 12:32 | 9 |
| My current favorites, guaranteed to get me giggling, are:
- The car commercial (brand??) where the junkyard dogs are waiting to give
chase and the little one says "Come to papa!"
- The Nissan commercial where the dog gets the owner to take him for a ride
in the truck in the middle of the night; they keep picking up other dogs
until there isn't room for the man. "Dogs LOVE trucks!"

| 87.9 | beer ad | TROOA::DIVITO | | Mon Mar 31 1997 15:08 | 13 |
| Up here in Canada, we have a beer commercial for Molson Canadian.
It has a guy who we find out later is a trapper walking in the
wilderness. He spies a fish and a bottle of berr in the snow. He picks
up the bottle of beer and a wooden net falls on him. Out of the snow
pops a beaver laughing hesterically and the music "no more mister nice
guy"(do not know the group or title)
It was funny and good.

Alice Cooper did that song originally, and Megadeth did a cover for
the movie "Shocker".

| 87.12 | Great Googley ... | BIGQ::SORRELLS | Put your behind in your past | Wed Apr 16 1997 11:11 | 6 |
| re: -1
I downloaded from AOL the .wav file for "great googley moogley" and
loaded it in my winnt\media\sounds directory.
Whenever WinNT sends me certain exclamation messages, my PC exclaims
"Great Googley Moogley!"

| 87.14 | catch the .wav | BIGQ::SORRELLS | Put your behind in your past | Fri Apr 18 1997 09:48 | 10 |
| Well, I tried sending the .wav file through VaxMail but it seemed to
get corrupted. I will have a new MSExchange account on DIGITAL1 as
of next week (username DSorrells) - it should be easy to send to
anyone with an Exchange account.
Feel free to drop me a line - I'm willing to try sending it.
Or you could show up in HLO with a blank floppy...

| 87.15 | | BUSY::SLAB | Good Heavens,Commander,what DID you do? | Fri Apr 18 1997 12:51 | 13 |

You can set the protection on the file such that it's world read-
able.
SET PROT = (G:RE,W:RE) NAME.WAV
and then post the location here. IE,
the file is at NODE::DISK:[DIRECTORY]FILE.WAV
Keep in mind that if the file is in a subdirectory then the prot-
ection on the directory itself needs to allow G:RE and W:RE also.

| 87.16 | I was never very good at this... | BIGQ::SORRELLS | Put your behind in your past | Fri Apr 18 1997 14:25 | 13 |
| Somebody try this:
deming::user2$:[sorrells.public]googly.wav
-->show security [.public]googly.wav
USER2$:[SORRELLS.PUBLIC]GOOGLY.WAV;1 object of class FILE
Owner: [DRA,SORRELLS]
Protection: (System: RWD, Owner: RWD, Group: RE, World: RE)
Access Control List: <empty>
1) can you copy it?
2) does it sound OK

I don't have a sound card here at work, but it copied fine and
appears to be the correct size for a 5- or so second clip.
|
| 87.18 | Thanks! | EVMS::MDNITE::RIVERS | No comment | Fri Apr 18 1997 15:11 | 5 |
| I copied it fine and tried it out. Works and sounds just fine!
