I'm in a commercial and .............
« on: July 03, 2005, 11:21:23 pm »
Hi guys,

I'm in a new Gain laundry detergent commercial. I'm folding my clothes at a laundromat and all of these hot women keep coming up to me.

Does anyone have a copy that they can rip and email to me? I haven't seen it yet and the agency that would make me a copy is on vacation until the 10th.

Thanks!
Craig

I would be more impressed if you starred in a hemorrhoid commercial and had a cool line like "Use anuspaste for hemorrhoids tough enough to sit on".

That's cool.  My little brother was in a PS2 Final Fantasy commercial where they kept flipping through a bunch of different people saying the same line, but they would change mid sentence and it got faster and faster so they were changing people mid-word.  It's difficult to explain, but, anyway, he was only in it for about 2 seconds and made close to $4k off the deal.

I found one on my Tivo.  It's part of an 8 hour taping of Live 8 so it will take a while to rip.  I hope to have it posted this weekend.

I was in the video for Digital Underground's "The Humpty Dance" back in 1991.  ;D

Ok, not really, but somehow that rumor got started back in high school that I was in that video, everyone believed it, not sure why.   :angel:

Grab a codec pack like Nimos or Klite..

Im assuming its a MPEG2 so youll need a dvd codec for it..

I don't know which codec it is, the utility that extracts them doesn't specify.

I believe it is MPeg2 though, which is the same as DVD.

SirP, I can't help you with what codec, Nero Showtime plays it, which leads me to believe it's mpeg2, but I can't say for certain.

It was hard figuring out how to do screen caps at first, but here....I figured whoever asked just wanted to know what KMC looked like, but I threw a few gratuitous pics of each of the girls in there.  Snaake, I gotta wonder about you.  The last chick was the LEAST attractive in there.  The pics are in order of appearance so you guys can gauge Snaake's "chick rating system" for yourselves.

*edit*
nevermind just yet....pics not working yet.

I guess I would call myself a professional actor, but it just sounds really cheesy. It is where I make the bulk of my income though. I also just booked a Pizza Hut commercial that I am filming tomorrow. I've been lucky lately.

By the way, are any of you guys going to CAX next month?

After an enema or three, it's becoming less mysterious  :-X

And for the record, I'm a BIG fan of Girl #2....followed by Girl #1.  Snaake can have Girl #3.  If I've gotta "settle", it's not really gonna be all that fun in the morning.
