Actually they did show a 30 minute version of this. I thought it was horrible.
Head on, apply directly to the forehead. Head on, apply directly to the forehead. Imagine the drama! the comedy! the pathos! a true tour de force for the ages! an instant classic!
We have that, it is called Kim Possible. Love it.
Damn you, Torque! Idea thief!!
(I still watch 'em every few months)
Nitpick: Real Men of Genius. They haven’t used Real American Heros in 5 years, 8 months, and 6 days.
Madge the Dawn manicurist from the 70s could star in a horror series. They can call it “You’re Soaking In It!”
I second the Sonic guys- husband/wife couple live next door to the other two guys- maybe they’re gay, maybe not. Very glad the two black haired girls did not become recurring- they were painfully unfunny.
Not really. The animation style’s completely different – the eSurance ads look more the The X’s than Kim Possible. Plus the eSurance babe (I forget her name) is more grown up and hotter than Kim, while her male sidekick is more capable and mature. And older.
So its Kim Possible All Growed Up 
Palmolive, please!
She could team up with Josephine the Plumber and Mrs. Olsen the Folger’s coffee lady and they could solve mysteries and stuff.
Actually, it wasn’t 30 minutes. American Express comissioned two online shorts of seven or eight minutes, which were pretty funny. Superman is kind of a hang-loose kind of guy who’s obsessed with an Oklahomaesque musical called Oh Yes! Wyoming! One of the funniest bits is when Seinfeld is asking where the name “Superman” came from. “Ma and Pa Kent didn’t call you that. Did you make it up yourself? And was that your first choice? What else did you throw around- Surprisingguy? Unbelieveablefellow? How about Remarkablechap?”
I was going to tongue-in-cheekly suggest The Apply Directly to the Forehead Show before Daber came up with it, so here’s some other ideas from commercials both old and new:
AFLAC!: Competing against Cavemen and the Esurance show, it’s a talking duck! Hilarity ensues when nobody realizes why he keeps saying “AFLAC!”
Don’t Squeeze the Charmin: I think it’s a game show.
Your Brain on Drugs: Would be a good title for a show, but what would it be about? Eggs, I guess.
On a more serious note, if not a show, I’d like to see at least maybe a one-time special filled with spot gags based on Jack Link’s Jerky’s “Messing With Sasquatch” ads. That looks like it has potential.
From about 10 years ago…
The Adventures of Eva Savalot! Who cares about the plot, as long as she ran around in tight black leather all the time.
And a question about those Sonic commercials - those people are all stoners, right? They all look like they have got the munchies and went to sonic and are now having those post pot smoking conversations that seem really deep to the stoners, but when played back later just seem quirky and random.
a la Sopranos, the Geico caveman at the therapist’s office.
“Just try [puppet role-playing].”
“I say ‘Hello, what’s your name?’ and it doesn’t say anything, 'cause it’s a doll.”
Then he goes home to arrange a hit on the Geico admen.
I’d watch a series which starred Peter Stormare as the “German engineering in die haauuus” guy. I’d want him to use his trebuchet to hurl the “irritating item of the week”, as chosen by audience vote, into oblivion. Nothing would be sacrosanct - Hummers, your printer from work, the brushed stainless steel applicances which you’re sick polishing - nothing.
So, you want the return of Mike Myers in Sprockets, plus a catapult?
As much as the other suggestions in this thread made me smile, I actually lept out of my chair, pointed at the screen and shouted, “YES!” when I saw this. I’ll follow Hal and heartily third this idea. This show would never, ever get old.
The pain train is comin’, baby! WOOOO!!!
Yeah, I came here to mention “Tiny House.”
What? Daber stole my idea? that bastard!
So says El Perro Fumando, who is sitting in a comfy chair, and can’t be bothered to do it herself:
Sergio Garcia: Ladies’ Man - “It’d be just like Barney on How I Met Your Mother, only Spanish. And more suave.”
And I second both “Real Men of Genius (American Heroes)” and “Office Linebacker.”
I thought I spelled it correctly. Sorry.
