2007 Commercials Are Out

by J.W. Pezzino on Mar 13, 2007 8:53 PM PDT

If you're on the Mariners e-mail list, you just got an e-mail with the 2007 commercial campaign. Looks like they're sticking with the "My Oh My" slogan from last year.

The last few years' commercials haven't been very good, and this year continues the trend, in my opinion.

The Lopez/Betancourt "Double Play Twins" was a pretty good one, though.

Lopez: What? Too Much?
Beltre: <shakes head>

WOOOOOOO!!!

These are fantastic. All of 'em.

"Huh?"

I wonder if they got some inspiration for the Felix one from the picture I gave him at FanFest:

Iceberg, right ahead!

I'll admit it

I loled at most of them. I thought they were better than the recent ones. Steadily increasing since the debacle of 2005.

lol

the 2005 commercials were so bad, were they were supposed to be like the home shoping network.

it's tough to put into words how bad those were.

by MFAN on Mar 13, 2007 10:45 PM PDT up reply actions

Its not that tough at all

Just say "Scott Spezio wasn't the worst part about watching the 2005 season"

FWIW

I had the ultimate best that's what she said in Rome a few days ago.

Friend: Get me a water with gas
Me: Which one is that?
Friend: I don't know, try shaking it and seeing if it fizzles
Me: //shakes, watches, shrugs
Me: I don't know
Friend: Whatever, gimme
Me: //hands water over
Friend: //pops seal
Friend: Ow. It exploded in my eye
Me: //waits for it...
Me: //waits for it...
Me: //waits for it...
Me: THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

Woooooooooooooo

Something tells me

"Thats what she said" will be the offical Lookout Landing slogan of 2007. Following in 2006 "Fuck Mike Reily in the ear" and "Die in a Fire"

I loved the Ichiro one

"Just a bit outside."

The Yubet-Lopez commercial was good too. The disturbed look on Beltre's face was priceless.

No sir, I don't like it. ~Mr.Horse

Ichiro's such a bad ass

The only one that made me laugh out loud

was "Thinking Man's Game". The rest were okay, but not nearly as good as they could have been. Take for example the Twins spot where Joe Mauer gives a kid his sideburns. Now THAT is a commercial. Heartwarming, yet totally absurd.

I would like to have seen a commercial with Jeff Weaver and Jose Guillen Mario Kart stoned off their asses.

by Slozbury Stouvre on Mar 13, 2007 11:09 PM PDT reply actions

Eh

the only one that made me laugh out loud was the double play twins.

The thing about Thinking is that they already did that one in 1997 and it was SO MUCH FUNNIER then.

Holy crap I had no idea they've been doing

commercials for that long. Now I'm gonna have to watch them all.

Haha yeah.

Though the "Lou the Therapist" one for 1994 was pretty funny.

Still can't find the good Unit ones...

RJ the paperboy was pretty good.

Man, I haven't seen that...well, since 1994, I guess.

It's a classic...

by marc w on Mar 14, 2007 9:19 AM PDT up reply actions

that was of the funniest ever

and man, seeing young Jr in a commercial makes me sad.

by Matthew on Mar 14, 2007 7:04 AM PDT up reply actions

Richie Sexson

Is not in any of the commercials. Does that mean he is the most likely player to be traded?

by bluemax on Mar 14, 2007 1:40 AM PDT reply actions

He's in the Rosin bag one.

But I wish you were right. I also wish Rene Rivera wasn't in a commercial.

Huh.

Every time I try to watch one of the commercials, it crashes my Firefox. I remember the same thing happening last year. Any ideas?

That's a right kerfuffle!

Hate to say it...

But IE Tab is your friend there.

Iceberg, right ahead!

Yep, mlb's sites and firefox have never gotten

along.

No sir, I don't like it. ~Mr.Horse

by Goose on Mar 14, 2007 9:52 AM PDT up reply actions

I have the IE tab

and I tried to use it. Same result.

That's a right kerfuffle!

by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Mar 14, 2007 11:06 AM PDT up reply actions

Hmm.

I actually don't really like the latest version of FireFox. It crashes on me all the time. At home, the videos wouldn't play intermittently on FF, so I clicked the little icon to change it to IE mode. Then the videos played.

Try Opera. :-) Or get a Mac :-)

Iceberg, right ahead!

by PositivePaul on Mar 14, 2007 11:14 AM PDT up reply actions

Opera didn't work for me with the videos

Just break down and use IE7. I swear its not the devil.

by Edgar for Pres on Mar 14, 2007 11:24 AM PDT up reply actions

I don't want to download and install

Service Pack 2. Therefore, I can't use IE7.

That's a right kerfuffle!

by Phil Hatzenbuehler on Mar 14, 2007 11:36 AM PDT up reply actions

Yep.

I actually sorta like IE7.

But I still use FF most of the time, even with its constant crashing...

Iceberg, right ahead!

by PositivePaul on Mar 14, 2007 11:55 AM PDT up reply actions

I know...

it feels bad but it feels so right. I don't really even try to convince people to download Opera (what I use) or FF anymore. I just tell them to download IE7.
