The VW

darth commercial was great! I still talk about it

This commercial was the favorite in our house ... for obvious reasons. LOL

The first Doritos ad with the Pug was hilarious too, (albeit predictable).

My favorite was the Pepsi Max Diet ad though. That made me laugh loudly for quite a while, I wasn't expecting that!

The VW Young Darth was cute, and a special mention needs to be made to the Go Daddy Jillian Michaels / Joan Rivers commercials!

And I believe I heard that he told Dustin Hoffman once to just read the script and act and not get all this method crap....lol...my paraphrase not his actual words.

Yeah, basically Dustin Hoffman told him he hadn't slept in three days to help him "get into character"....Olivier allegedly told him "try acting".

A lot of stars are in commercials lately. The recession must be hitting Hollywood now (hey maybe then something will be done about it).

This is a big trend among the celebrities to make extra money they appear in ads overseas w/the stipulation that the adverts never appear in the states (ala Lost in Translation). They can make crazy amounts of money for a few days of work. I think I read somewhere where Brad Pitt, George Clooney and few other Hollywood A listers did watch ads in Japan.

I was actually surprised to see Adrian Brody in a commercial...

I'm not, his last few movies haven't been all that great...gotta make that moolah. Someone once asked Sir Laurence Olivier about some of his film choices in latter life that were not so good and he said the point to being a working actor is to work. You accept roles that you are offered and do the very best you can...in his defense, the films in question were not that good but his performances were always stellar and the highlight (of course).

hard to disagree w/that log smacking! Wasn't the Elton John cowboy the Nihlist from Big Lebowski? He also was in Chocolat and played the devil in Constantine, he's in a ton of stuff. Usually plays an Eastern European gangster type.

Yes Monk....that's the guy. /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I thought the one with the cowboy getting his Bud Light, then singing Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" was pretty funny...

And I liked the Snickers commercial with Roseanne Barr....she should be whacked with a log..... /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

He got his though. Best part of that commercial "I dont know but it looks like a girl"

True that....he had a couple of cameos on Saturday Night Live this past weekend that were funny, but he bores me quickly.

I found that commercial to be quite sad actually, I know Ozzy has a great sense of humor, but honestly, how 'bout this kid earning his stripes before getting a gig w/a true heavy weight of Rock.
