It’s the one with LaDainian Tomlinson and Troy Polomalu – here
The music makes it even better. It reminds me of the Sergio Leone westerns. Anyone know what it is?
Ennio Morricone’s “The Ecstacy of Gold” from the movie The Good The Bad and The Ugly.
P.S. Good call on thinking it sounded like it came from a Western!
Thanks, Shayna. That CD’s going on my Christmas list. And isn’t that a great ad? Gives me chills and makes me smile at the same time.
It is, indeed, and awesome ad. I hadn’t actually seen it before, so thanks for bringing it to my attention!
When I first saw that commercial - at the beginning where the kid runs out of the bathroom with his hair in soap suds - I wondered what the heck was wrong with that kid’s head. Am I seeing brains? :eek:
Took me a while to recognize soap suds.
One of the cool details is the way that they always have LT moving across the screen left to right and Polomalu going right to left. I didn’t notice that until about the 10th time I saw it. Outstanding commercial.
I didn’t notice that either – nice catch.
Shayna, if you liked that one, you might like this one too. It uses music from Last of the Mohicans.
Here’s the original scene from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. To set up the clip: Tuco (aka “The Ugly”, played by Eli Wallach) is searching for a cache of Confederate gold which is buried somewhere in the cemetery. Blondie (aka “The Good”, played by Clint Eastwood) has told him that it’s in the grave marked “Arch Stanton”.
Also very excellent.
Man, I love football. Los Angeles SUCKS! Why do we have to be the only major city without a team? :mad:
And I love football commercials, too. One of my all-time favorites.
Brilliant scene – thank you!
But GAH – does he find the gold, or not!!! Now I’ll have to go rent the movie!
