TBS adverts for LOTR movies..

Has anyone else seen these? The first one can be found on TBS’ main site (in the bottom right corner, the featured video). There’s also a Gollum one, that I can’t seem to find on the site.

Yes, I know all about the gay/not gay debates regarding Frodo and Sam, but… come on! This is hilarious! Anyone know if they’re planning on more in this vein?

OMG … freakin’ hilarious! There are several others on the same page, the Hunks of Middl3e Earth is damned funny too!

Looks like someone in the TBS marketing department took lessons from that bogus “Shining” trailer from last year. Great stuff.

very funny - thanks for the link

My favorite was “It sucks to be Frodo”.

If you had no friends, were called names, and smelled really bad, you’d have issues too!

And I do!

They must have just put that one up- it wasn’t there when I posted the OP, and is the Gollum one I was referencing.

Glad everyone’s enjoying them as much as I did… and also glad to see that every now and then the really creative ad execs are let out to play. :slight_smile:

They’re hilarious! Thanks :slight_smile: bobkitty

But the quality was crappy and the colours totally off - and I could only get it to work in IE - anyone else had these issues too?

I very nearly weed my pants at the “Secret Lovers” one. And the Gandolf one with the song “White Horse” was awesome.

Rather than start a new thread, and I figure this is not quite a zombie yet…

I rarely watch TBS this days, so I just saw this ad. Oh my og, Gandalf’s look was absolutely priceless, especially considering the actor portraying him.

You can view the whole series of adshere.
