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

Yeah that's me. Does it look cool?

JonnyBoy · « **Reply #3 on:** July 04, 2005, 12:42:53 am »

It was humorous...did get a chance to see the final product?

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".

I know it aired during live 8. If anyone can send it to me i'd be grateful.

Someone help this guy out

fl0yd · « **Reply #10 on:** July 07, 2005, 10:41:38 am »

I'll look through the shows I've tivo'd and see if I can find it. If I do, I'll gladly post a link.

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.

fl0yd · « **Reply #12 on:** July 08, 2005, 07:40:38 am »

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.

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.

I'm hosting the file here: <removed>
I'll probably take it down sometime next week.

Thanks,

Nice, I like the end too. The stare, then the little "that's right I'm bad" dance.

JonnyBoy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2005, 05:59:50 pm »

What codec do I need? It doesn't seem to be working. I have DivX.

SOAPboy · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2005, 07:28:00 pm »

Grab a codec pack like Nimos or Klite..

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

monkeybomb · « **Reply #20 on:** July 08, 2005, 09:02:35 pm »

I googled and got some all in one codec and it worked.

Very funny. Great job Craig. And a national too!!!

Arcadiac · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2005, 07:29:57 pm »

Congrats on the commercial job! Would someone please post a screen capture pic for us who still have to use dial-up?

ARCADIAC!

I thought for sure you had a moe.

Hey Mark,

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I forgot all about this post and just checked it tonight.

I look like a complete friggin idiot, but whatever.

Thanks for the kind words ya'll.

Craig

You're very welcome. Congratulations on being in a commercial.

Those girls were hot(-the last one)

SirPoonga · « **Reply #27 on:** July 11, 2005, 07:21:42 pm »

Has anyone answered what codec it is? It starts playing for me then freezes

cdbrown · « **Reply #28 on:** July 12, 2005, 01:27:12 am »

well done on being in a commercial. How'd you score that job?

But I guess the real question is - did you hook in?

gprime · « **Reply #29 on:** July 12, 2005, 01:31:35 am »

it froze in winamp / wmp but played perfectly in PowerDVD. nice job, and funny commercial

you seem to be in quite a few tv appearances -- are you a professional actor or just do little thing on the side?

fl0yd · « **Reply #30 on:** July 12, 2005, 09:14:32 am »

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.

SirPoonga · « **Reply #31 on:** July 12, 2005, 11:42:53 am »

SO why doesn't media player play it

hmmmm....

Zakk · « **Reply #32 on:** July 12, 2005, 11:54:37 am »

Awesome commerical. What exactly are you going at the end there though...

DrewKaree · « **Reply #33 on:** July 14, 2005, 02:21:54 am »

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.~~

*edit*
effin' computers!

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?

DrewKaree · « **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2005, 02:46:25 am »

This has GOT to be the FUNNIEST Google ad suggestion I've ever seen in a thread! Dunno if Bones is impressed that he holds such sway, but if you guys ain't seeing it, I snatched a quick pic in case someone else changes Google's opinion of what we REALLY are thinking of in this thread!

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

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.

Bones · « **Reply #38 on:** July 14, 2005, 07:22:54 pm »

Yeah I agree. Girl 2 is absolutely gorgeous, she is just so damn pretty.

Girl 3 has a head on her like a robbers dog.
