D&D General New E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial commercial with relevant easter egg

[zenopus]

There's a fun new commercial that is a "sequel" to E.T. and features Elliot (Henry Thomas) as an adult:

A Holiday Reunion

It's chock full of easter eggs, including a 1991 "New Easy to Master Dungeons & Dragons Game" Set. (read this after watching and see if you noticed it)

I missed it, but now I feel old after looking at it and seeing Eliot as old as I am.

Oh wow they got the real Elliot back, thats cool

pity they didnt have Gerty too

So no one else notice the D&D boxed set(?) under the TV?

But best part is that they got the original Elliot. Although ET really needs to work on that universal translator, they've had a few years to build one.

I noticed it. Granted, my first thought was "Why do they own that really old boxed version of the game?" but I'm sure that was just because the logo was a lot bigger on the side than it would have been had they used the Starter Set. Set dressers have to set dress!

Henry Thomas played the father in Netflix's Haunting of Hill House series.
