Title: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: koolmoecraig 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

Post by: Bones on July 04, 2005, 12:47:35 am: 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".

Post by: shmokes on July 07, 2005, 12:24:46 pm: 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.

Post by: fl0yd 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.

Post by: paigeoliver on July 08, 2005, 07:45:56 am: 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:

Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: SOAPboy 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..
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: monkeybomb 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!!!

Post by: Arcadiac 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!

Post by: SirPoonga on July 11, 2005, 07:21:42 pm: Has anyone answered what codec it is? It starts playing for me then freezes :(
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: cdbrown 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?
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: gprime 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?
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: fl0yd 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.
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: SirPoonga on July 12, 2005, 11:42:53 am: SO why doesn't media player play it :( hmmmm....
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: Zakk on July 12, 2005, 11:54:37 am: Awesome commerical. What exactly are you going at the end there though... ;)
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: DrewKaree 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.~~

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?

Post by: DrewKaree 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!

;D ;D ;D

I move in mysterious ways....

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.
Title: Re: I'm in a commercial and .............
Post by: Bones 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.

Post by: Lilwolf on July 17, 2005, 01:08:11 pm: And I just started looking for it.

Have to say... they are all hot. The second one is the cutest. first is the classiest. Third is the most down to earth.

Come on now. Who wouldn't have gone out with the third one? You know you would have! (robbers dog?)

Post by: koolmoecraig on July 21, 2005, 09:50:45 pm: Hello again,

So I filmed the Pizza Hut commercial with Ryan Stiles the other day and it is being rushed to air. It is supposed to start airing next week. If one of you guys TIVO/Rip/email it to me I will be your best friend forever.

Thanks,
Craig

Post by: Effayy on July 31, 2005, 08:02:23 pm: Oooh the one where he's torn between eating the crust vs. the pizza, then he yells up at the ceiling in desperation and I shake my head silently in disappointment? :)

I saw it a few times, but now I'll have to take an extra close peek for you! I do have a PVR unit, but unfortunately I don't have any means to extract the video to my PC. But it DOES mean I can pause, and slo-mo the commercial. :)

Post by: pointdablame on July 31, 2005, 11:27:55 pm: I just saw the commercial a few minutes ago, and noticed you in it from the last commercial... black shirt, right?

I wasn't recording it with my Replay though, so I won't be any help with the upload :(
