I’m not having any luck trying to find a video online of the older Capitol One commercials, those with the barbarian hordes running to attack some poor sap until said sap takes out a Capitol One credit card.

Anyone have a link to one of those? Thanks in advance!

Do you mean like [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drqO8aySdFg)?

I found it by going to [youtube.com](http://youtube.com) and searching for “Capital One commercial”.  
Note that it is spelled with an “a” and not an “o.” Maybe that’s why you can’t find them?

Perfect! Thanks. Alas, I’m usually a much better speller than that.
