I was so thrilled to see this “sequel” for Sky tv that was basically ET 2 I thought is was a real trailer for the movie…nope 4 minute short but it still brought tears to my eyes. Sorry cannot figure out how to add link… look up Sky tv ET it will show up ---

[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdgk3ERKdug) is what I think you’re thinking of in a four-minute eighteen-second ad for Xfinity, or [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxmnUSVWCOk) in a two-minute ad for Sky TV. (Both are owned by Comcast, which also owns Universal Studios, which produced the original movie. The wonders that can be accomplished when one’s fondest memories of childhood are owned by giant corporations.) ---

Great commercial. It moved me to tears. I loved it when E. T. fainted at the dinosaur in the VR goggles. I’m not so cynical that I didn’t enjoy it, especially since I don’t live in an area serviced by Comcast. ---

I love that E.T. has a wife and kid now as well! ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pdgk3ERKdug) is what I think you’re thinking of in a four-minute eighteen-second ad for Xfinity, What I find funny is that my SponsorBlock addon (which blocks in-video ads based on community reporting) actually blocked the last part. It’s so little ad that they see the end as a commercial. Oh, and I thought the two minute version flowed better, save for the kids riding the bikes. ---

Did anyone else spot the Reese’s Pieces bag when they were eating at the table? ---

Funny: a while back, I was at the Pittsburgh Symphony when they were playing the E.T. soundtrack, with the movie playing simultaneously. At pop concerts, there’s a concession stand in the lobby, with bags of candy, including Reese’s Pieces. Naturally that’s what everyone favored over chocolate-covered raisins or gummi bears. 🆒
