'Chrismahanukwanzakah' commercial appreciation thread

It’s a new spot from Virgin Mobile. I’m not usually a fan of commercials, but this was was fackin’ badass. And cute. And funny. Download it here.
It’s okay if you’re a Christian, a Muslim or a Jew
It’s okay if you’re Agnostic and you don’t know what to do…

I can’t be the only one in love with this. Out of the woodwork, people!

They stole my idea for Chanukwanzmastice!

Thanks, that was terrific! :smiley:

Q for the OP–did you see this in the UK? Somehow, I have a hard time believing this would play in the US…

Too bad they ripped off the idea from Glenn Beck

My favorite lines:

“Or a Scientologist”
“That’s kind of a religion, too.”

I LOVE this ad! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: I saw it in the US. I’m surprised it hasn’t been banned yet. But I love it.

It’s nice to know I’m not alone.

I’ve seen that here in Georgia (USA) and it’s funny here too.

I <3 the random Eurasian Santa who rocked the triangle like he was born for it.

Count me in! I love this one!
The stuffed badger or beaver or whatever with the glowing red nose at the end…HA!

Classic.

Ooo, I didn’t notice the Tiny Tim knock-off at the end when I caught it on TV.

That makes it even better! :smiley:

“Its gonna be the best Chrismahanukwanzakah evah !”

What a great commercial! I would buy that phone just on the basis of such a wonderful ad! But it’s bound to offend a whole bunch of zealots with sticks up their asses (OK, I have to confess, that’s part of the appeal. . .)

Cool commercial. I get to see it during Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. But they snooker me every time at the beginning, making me think it’s an Old Navy ad.

I saw this on tv and thought it was bloody brilliant. Only when i watched it on the internet did i notice that the tv version i saw was slightly edited…the creepy “pagan” guy was not in the commercial i saw…

That was hysterical. Although I can totally see what kaylasdad99 means about looking like an Old Navy ad.

ok. Let’s start the pool for when this one gets pulled from the broadcast. I’ve got Dec 1st.

OK, which one of you put that “the” in there?

Why would anyone be upset over this commercial?

I wouldn’t be upset over it…but there are some pretty big stereotypes in there that could be perceived as harmfull.

Well actually, at the conservative Christian site I’ve hung out at, they complained about this ad as another example the evil media trying to take Christ out of Christmas…inotherword part of the great anti-Christian conspiricy…inotherword further evidence of their persecution…of course that’s pretty much how they look at everything over there.

Taking the Christ out of Christmas…
It don’t mean a thing
If you Christ don’t have bling
do wop do wop do wop…
