For some reason I really loved this commercial.

    That is a great commercial. If only all marketing companies put that much thought and creativity into there ads…

    …and $$$…

    I love the scene where he asks the kids what’s wrong with their bike…and then the back shot of them floating away…and then where it just shows him walking with this big ol’ umbrella handle…

    Wait…I think I like every scene.

    I really liked this one too, I pointed it out to my wife. Gosh, it’s really long, isn’t it? Well done.

    Who wouldn’t love a benign old man helping you out of a fix? I also like when he arrives at the address on the umbrella, wearing a somewhat serious and determined face.

    I believe the old man is the German Villain who’s head explodes in Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    “Good evening Dr. Jones…”

    Wow. I have learned to trust your judgment with recognizing obscure faces in movies like that. I believe that’s Beloch from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Good one!

    That just gets me more excited for the new Indy film…May 22….
