I have received word that there is an advertisement to be played during the superbowl that may hold special interest to a certain bard. It may feature his voice.

I will believe it when I hear it tomorrow, but if it comes to pass as I have been told it will, that will be a very very big deal indeed.

Sir Krustin 01-26-2003 12:15 AM

If you're talking about your voice, how could you not know? Wouldn't they have to pay you royalties or something?

Cloudbringer 01-26-2003 12:18 AM

YAHOO! Nacht'll be watching it so I'll see if he can pay extra attention to the commercials. :D

Lord Starshadow 01-26-2003 12:28 AM

Well, I'll keep an ear out (hehe) for it then. [img]smile.gif[/img]

antryg 01-26-2003 12:55 AM

Gosh! Can I have a pirated copy of a commercial for my sig? :D

Leonis 01-26-2003 09:36 AM

Has the Superbowl been on yet?

Attalus 01-26-2003 09:41 AM

When is the Superbowl? Didn't they play it last year?

LOL! :D But being far removed from the USA, it's a serious question.

Donut 01-26-2003 10:04 AM

They have ads during the match?

Well, I much regret knowing, but I think it is today.

Leonis 01-26-2003 10:27 AM

Go the Redskins! ;)

Just wondering when YoRick will know...

Leonis 01-27-2003 06:19 PM

So? What's the John?

Yorick 01-27-2003 11:39 PM

Apparently it was played. A Smirnoff ad. I didn't hear it, but someone called me to say they heard my voice. Buggered if I know. I'll wait for the cheque....

Iron_Ranger 01-28-2003 03:17 AM

A didnt hear it Yorick :(

It seems like I saw a Smirnoff add, but I didnt reconize your voice.

I saw a Smirnoff Ice add on our local ESPN coverage - was that it???

Leonis 01-29-2003 03:14 AM

Hey Yorick! The "false Yorick" has been getting a lot more work since you left town...

Sir Taliesin 01-29-2003 08:24 AM

<font color=orange>You are going to tell us which ad it is aren't you?</font><font color=white> (Put's hand on Yorick's Head through the computer monitor and moves said head up and down in a nodding motion). :D </font>
<font color=orange>I thought so!</font> [img]smile.gif[/img]

Are you serious? That soundalike guy? Oh well. I thought he went to London...

It was a Smirnoff Ice ad. They played it twice. I haven't heard it but I spoke to the guy who assured me I was on it. Must be pretty soft and indistinct. Could even sound fairly femalish. I did a heap off stuff and he grabbed only a line or two. Don't know which ones. I'll hear it soon.

Davros 01-29-2003 10:29 AM

Damn - I saw the end of the ad - but I never read this thread before the game so Iwasn't listening especially to hear how distinctly "you" it was. Normally I would have taped the game because I would be at work, but this year they played it on Australia Day so I could watch it live :D .

Davros 01-29-2003 10:31 AM

I was thinking of "THe Collective" too when I saw the ad - first thought was that I had never heard of it before - next thought was of Wolfie and his Wodka in the freezer [img]smile.gif[/img] .

As for sounding femalish, how would we distinguish it from your other work? ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And Wodka belongs in the freezer. Replicates leaving it in the cupboard in a typical Northern European climate....
Actually, when I was in Engalnd, my Grandma-in-law kept her milk in the pantry during the winter! Imagine doing that here! ...oh, I had a friend here who did do that - he was Indian though.

OH rats, I missed it! Well, maybe we'll get to see/hear it again sometime. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So that's why curry can give you the runs...

Leonis 01-30-2003 08:37 AM

LOL! Once it's 'cured' they put it back in the fridge.
Yorick, were you there (at Pronoun Pronoun's place) when Dave and Rich drank some thinking it was regular milk? [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] One of the funniest moments in my memory!

Yorick 01-30-2003 01:11 PM

Did you know his name couldn't have been PronounPronoun? What idiot made that up? :D It should have been "Indefinite-Article Conjunction" LOL :D

Yorick 01-30-2003 01:21 PM

Or at least PronounConjuction....

Leonis 01-30-2003 06:49 PM

A misnomer he's still stuck with...(well we're still using it) :D

He could have been "Pronoun Pronoun d" [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

EDIT: it could have even been Rich who coined it...I'm not sure. Someone in his year.

Is he still "buying ships from the first world and selling them to the third world"? Or did the thought of her make him go to Bombay?
