New G.E. Commercial

[Greatwyrm]

I haven't seen this mentioned before or even on TV before.

I was watching one of the Law and Order spin-offs on Sunday. During the commercial break, there's a spot where some geeky guy (supposedly a professor of something) runs into (literally) a supermodel at the laundromat. They fall in love, go on a date, etc.

At one point they exchange gifts. She opens the package the geeky guy hands her. Lo and behold, A 3E PLAYERS HANDBOOK!! Zoomed way in--no mistaking it for anything else.

They go on to get married, have a kid, and of course buy GE appliances.

The moral of the story, give a supermodel a game book and you're in like Flynn!

Wow, I can't view the video from work, but I am really surprised by this.

GreatWyrm - I was waiting for someone to mention that ad here.

I saw it also while watching Law & Order spin-offs, but on Saturday night.

Then we flipped over to watching MadTV, and they did a sketch about those "earn a diploma NOW" colleges "in the l-shaped mall, next to the nail salon".

And one of the diplomas they offer is "Dungeon Master".

Two references in 45 minutes. I was floored.

Two of the other new GE commercials have fantasy/sci-fi elements to them. One has a bunch of viking-looking guys rowing a boat (with other vikings cruising past them using wind power). Another has car painting robots out of work, lounging around, because they don't have anything to do because of this new plastic that doesn't need to be painted.

As an employee of GE, I could not be prouder.

And one of the diplomas they offer is "Dungeon Master".

CRAP!! All this time I was doing mine as an independent study. If I'd only known about the college at the mall, I might not have ended up with this useless Business Management degree.

That's a damn cute ad. Although it's funny, 'cause I pictured 200,000,000 house wives asking their husbands, "Honey? What book is that?" Think we'll see a surge of purchases next V-Day?
