Seagal makes TV commercial...

You are guys are too funny! :D Make a tape of the commercial, eh? You do realize that no one knows what channel it's going to be on or day or time, right? :D

Okay, let me sit here in front of my TV, hour after hour, endlessly flicking from channel to channel (ok, so I do do that sometimes since I've been off work :D), ready to click the record button at a second's notice IN CASE the commercial comes on.

Or, instead of sitting in front of the TV, I could put tape after tape after tape in all three VCRs in my house, on continous recording, then sit down later and check them out to see IF it maybe appeared on one of them?

See the problem here? ;) You know I love you guys, but I just don't think it's gonna happen. :D

Easy for me to say, though, since I've seen the commercial already, eh? ;)

Yes, you rat, you.... :gun:

Well, it's a hit and miss business, for sure.

But think about all those commercials which have ever only been seen once. Remember the very first Apple commercial, directed by Ridley Scott, that ran once during a Super Bowl game? The only reason most people have seen it since then is because they use it to illustrate the concept of the 60-second movie, and also of its absolutely amazing content.

There was one commercial for MCI I recall seeing years ago, that was only ever on once - they used the cast from the original Star Trek series in it, with a "guest" appearance by Jonathan Frakes to whom William Shatner comments, "who's he?". It was very funny - and only ever on once. A hard thing to bear, being the Trek fan I was in the day!

There is a site on the internet that runs commercials and has viewers rate them and damned if I can find the site name or a link. It's possible they have it.

Amos, I have an idea...Maybe someone can tape the basketball game next time, and they can get the commercial...Since mountain dew is the sponsor...I will try to do it, but I have no idea on how to put it on here...I can't do that, and the eurpopean members can't use the American system, so hmmm....But at least then I can watch it whenever I want, eh?

Not a bad idea of taping the basketball game, Lotus. :) However, Mountain Dew was the sponsor when the games were on CBS. As someone said here, they didn't see the commercial when the games were televised on ESPN, so possibly that makes a difference, eh?

Does anyone here even drink Mountain Dew? :D

I used to... bleh. It's so sweet it's like drinking that glucose solution for a glucose tolerance test.

And it's best drunk out of a can. The colour is... well, the closest approximation to a descriptive metaphor would the colour of horse piss.

come get some
I'm beginning to think this ad was only shown in certain places, not others. I haven't even seen it once.

If anyone does think they've seen it, and they want to do a favour for SS fans, I would recommend taping the ad spaces when it is likely to come. It's really not that difficult. This is supposed to be an SS fan board after all, and the ad is supposed to be really good (from what I've heard).

Because once it disappears, and nobody manages to tape that ad, then you might never see it again.

If anyone has any idea at all when it's likely to air, let us know here and I'll be glad to tape those spaces. I have a DVD/VCR hooked up to the television in the living room, plus two other TV/VCRs in the house.

From reading the nine pages of this thread so far, though, it's come at a variety of times and on different channels. Trying to guess when it might air sounds almost impossible to me, but I have new tapes and the machines to record, if anyone has any guesses.

Oh crud, maybe we won't get to see it again? :(
Maybe we need to write pepsi co and demand it, huh?
I will try during the games this week, but I hope someone
else does, too...

I'll tape the games also, Lotus, since that is when I saw it originally. Won't hurt to have several copies, eh? :) But still, if anyone has any other guesses as to when it's likely to come, let us know that also.

If I do manage to catch it, I'll be glad to copy it (as I have several VCRs) and send it to anyone who would like it. I did this once for a member who wanted a Steven Seagal movie taped, but unfortunately he never received it and I never got it back. He lived outside the U.S., though. Maybe the customs officials are enjoying it, eh? :D Still, though, it's worth a try and I'll be glad to send the commercial if I can capture it.

Well done, Amos! I'm so glad, I won't even ask how you know. :D Of course, if you're wrong, we know where to find you! ;)

Good job, Amos! Thanks. :)
